John Motson, voice of football passes away aged 77. For many 'Motto' or Motty WAS the voice of football, generations of fans grew up hearing his knowledgeable voice as a true indicator of what was going on, before during and after games. His attention to detail was legendary as was his preparation ahead of games.

Dear oh dear, remember when Pep Guardiola and other such luminaries were 'bigging up' 'wonderful' West Ham? It was only 18 months ago that Hammers briefly threatened to gate crash a top four position, how things have changed.

Times are tough for West Ham fans. Our Premier League season is in tatters, and we sit on the brink of relegation – third from the bottom! With just 20 points, we are right in the thick of the battle, and the only saving grace is that there are five or six teams in a similar situation.

Leicester City, Wolves, Everton, Bournemouth, Leeds, and Southampton are all on similar points, and we aren’t out of the EPL yet! With all this doom and gloom, we need something positive!
