i cant think of a single game in our history where we collapsed completely like that , or is collapsed the wrong word seeing as we were never in the ascendancy, God only knows what the spuds will do to us next week , we were unlucky in one sense , unlucky it was live on the telly
allerdyce!
Cant believe hes blamed the defeat on lack of energy from the players,"after all they have been through in the last 2 weeks".Hes having a laugh!If you cant be up for a cup tie in front of nearly 6 thousand passionate westham fans who pay hard earned money to watch you play,then you shouldnt be wearing the shirt imo...
its gota be time for a change
its gota be time for a change , i think he's bought them as far as he can
Im with you on that one.
Im not gonna slag sam off cos hes done a job for us,& i thank him for it.But to move forward maybe its time to look elsewhere...only thing is who is out there??
Honest Harry is available
Only joking of course! Lol!
It wouldnt surprise me harry.
Hes available,stranger things have happened...
Still don't understand how tennis players can go 5 hours ...
and do the same thing again on 2 days rest, but professional footballers are too tired to play 3 hours in two weeks. That excuse makes my blood boil. These players are young and fit and have absolutely no excuse.
Yeah, and it doesn't seem to
Yeah, and it doesn't seem to affect other clubs as badly. Maybe our fitness training needs looking at?
didn't wba play the same
didn't wba play the same dates ?
Yep they sure did burkie!
Funny how they had more energy than us!!;)
Ashes, that is such a bloody
Ashes, that is such a bloody great comparison. Why has it not been brought up before. I tweeted a copy of his bollocks speil from the official website earlier mentioning them being Pro sportsmen (or the like) Tired. They wanna do a 50 - 60 hour week and then tell me about it. I agree mate, no bloody excuses...
Spot on ashes!
Just an excuse by sam yesterday,at least adrian had the balls to apologise to the fans who travelled for the"shameful" display as he put it!
and most times in the baking
and most times in the baking hot Sun
Time for change lads
Sam has brought us as far as he can although if he wasnt so stubborn with his obsession of nolan/carroll and his lack of belief in trying to blood some youth he may have brought us further. The old saying a leopard doesnt change his spots has been his downfall . The team were playing imaginitive free flowing football until his 2 best buddies returned from injury and then it was back to the same old dross...in fairness carroll gave his all but it was more direct with players out of position...Nolan contributes nothing no matter what people say....Hand the armband over to song or collins and lets get the team playing in there preferred positions..dump nolan/cole and maybe demel/obrien...get some good young players like cresswell from the championship and start giving lee/henry/oxford some game time in the run in...What a chance they had yesterday when we were 3-0 down to try youth yet he stuck cole and o brien on....I rest my case...Sam is a dinasour and we deserve better...My mates say we should be happywhere we are cos we are west ham...that make my blood boil....why should we settle for mid table mediocrity when our best eleven played in the right positions can compete with the best ? Our manager is holding us back and I am sick of it...Push the boat out and try for a young ambitious manager...frank de boer anyone ? I hope our owners have the balls to make the right decision this summer.
i trust this is you Kieron
i trust this is you Kieron welcome back to the org mate
it dose not say much for him
If that was the case then he should have bought in some younger players. But yes i agree it is a pathetic excuse. This is all they have to do, keep themselves fit, they have the best money can buy when it comes to advice regarding diet ect. they also earn in a week what most of us earn in a year, it should not be that heard to get it right.

Very true H65 but after all
Very true H65 but after all BS is the MOST sophisticated manager in the Premier League has he says lol and then Pulis goes and tears him a new asshole
!

For me herein lies the problem.
This manager, does not manage craft, guile, technical players very well at all.
Have a look at our squad now he's outed the likes of Zarate, Morrison, RVT (to lesser extent), leaving us hamstrung with a core of midfielders who cannot get in behind defences, cannot beat a man with pace, not one of them has a trick to take the oppo on a one to one.
Therefore if we are presented with a team who presses us, or even half press' we have no option but to go over the top, by-passing our no. 8 , or 10.
Kouyate, has to anchor midfield from now to season end, only one from Noble, Nolan and Song in the starting eleven. Have we even seen Jarvis play in a right hand sided berth for an entire game, where he can go past his man and whip a ball in without having to check back, as he cannot play off of his left foot?
A right footed winger,
A right footed winger, playing on the right? Where's the sophistication in that!?
I feel for our travelling
I feel for our travelling fans
At least Stoke have taken
At least Stoke have taken some of the humiliation off us to the wider world
Unfortunately still fortunes always hiding
Not that Luck would have helped West Ham today.
Things have not been exactly great recently Song is not the Song of old and Nolan is an old man who should never be in the team.
An early game may not have suited some of the players but as you say Burkie if you cannot get motivated by 6000 Hammers away then what are you doing playing for West Ham Utd.
Sadly I can Burkie
v Oldham 6-0 in the pouring rain many years ago, absolute hole of a place and we were so bad!
