    Who does he think he is kidding? Newcastle will do what 15 teams have done to us since Christmas and prevent us from winning or beat us! We have only won 3 since I was eating my Christmas pudding :-)
    I have this one down for a big Newcastle win and us going out with a whimper! I reckon he has finally lost it this week especially saying it has been a very successful season.
    If SUGO keep this dinosaur on another two years I will not go to watch until he has gone!

    Had awful trouble both reading, and especially creating posts since Saturday: very slow, and several error messages or cannot connect type messages. Anyone else?

  • Should our fans have made more noise of annoyance at the end of the game, or maybe they are happy ?.

    As I was not there I cannot really comment, but what I would have expected was some heavy booing against Sam Allardyce , was there any ?.
    From what I saw on MOTD there was just some dejected apathy but not anger but the coverage was so quick (Fortunately) I am not even sure of that.
    Surely the fans have to make the board know their feelings if they actually have any, or are we just too chicken to make them felt ?, what seems sought of obvious to me is that it is probably 50/50 regarding the ones who are happy for him to stay and those who are not.
    The game was awful but what i cannot believe is how pathetic our defending has become they made Everton look like a top side when in reality they have been struggling like hell to find some solid form.
    Typical Typical Allardyce football, but the players have to be blamed too they have lost their way, probably because the Chairmen of the club have not made a statement about the Manager and the uncertainty has affected them, but God did they look unprofessional for both goals conceded, almost switched off.

  • Be Bold Board, Back Benitez, Biesla or Bilic But Not Houdini!

    Following Sam Allardyce's rather strange press conference where he likened himself to Harry Houdini, there appears to be little doubt that he is a managerial 'dead man walking'. Much has been written about the current West Ham manager's style of play and questionable player recruitment, but the fact is that he has done the job he was asked to do. Ironically the team's early season success is what will probably have been Big Sam's downfall, having seen what the team were capable off, fans and owners alike assumed this was the dawning of a new exciting era, unfortunately the wheels fell off the wagon and a top four place at christmas has plummeted to tenth.
    The general consensus is that it is time for a change, although Premier league survival is essential ahead of the move to the Olympic stadium the need for more expansive football has to be managed without it being too expensive!
    With David Moyes having ruled himself out, Rafa Benitez is top of the list, and tentative negotiations are apparently underway. Next up is Slaven Bilic, untried at Premier League level, he is a shrewd manager who has had to cope with the rigours and demands of Turkish football and of course International football during his successful tenure as Croatian team manager. Finally out of the 'triple B's, Marcelo Biesla might be the surprise contender, however there are fears that his lack of english could prove to be a stumbling block.
    There may be other contenders out there, but a betting man would be concentrating on one of the 'B' boys! -Ed

    Not sure what we will see in this game, but expect Martinez to have his players falling all over the place looking for cards. Barkley will spend most of the game sitting on his arse waving his arms at the ref. Hard to read Sam's mind after his weird press conference yesterday, seems he has NOT rejected any offer, or even had any offer, unless he's lying through his teeth, which is not something I would accuse him of. If he has the slightest hope of getting another contract surely he MUST attack, but his self belief that defensive football is always best, along with not wishing to get many cards, may see this game as a damp squib. But we live in hope! COYI!!

    I don't seem to hear his name mentioned much. Yet was apparently previously On Liverpool's and Tottenham's shortlists. Highly experienced player, managed Ajax for several years. Speaks better English than most English people! Would anybody like him as our new manager?

    The season is ending with a whimper, with us all in a state of uncertainty as to who our manager will be for next season.

    One newspaper makes one assertion, based on... well nothing much it would appear. Another newspaper says something quite different, based on... nothing attributable to anyone.

    Somebody knows somebody who knows the brother of the girl friend of...

    We all buy into whatever we want to hear.

    Web sites copy outrageously, sometimes even reproducing spelling mistakes, let alone unprovable "facts."

    'Factoids' grow and assume the solidity of proven hard evidence, when frequently they are little more than dim mirages that vanish at the slightest breath of wind.

    It seems to me that no bugger knows a damn thing.
