Thursday the 24th of February through to Wednesday the 2nd of March are seven days in the footballing calendar that might well make or break Hammers ENTIRE season, beginning with the Europa League play offs 2nd round games which will reveal who West Ham will face in the last 16 stage.

It would be much easier to jump on the doom and gloom Hammers threads around this morning rather than trying to be positive following this weekend's draw against Newcastle that felt so much like a defeat, but here goes. In our opinion constructive criticism is acceptable even though it may be painful, and there can be no more painful a decision to make as to Tomas Soucek's continued selection, closely followed by the 'Antonio up top' dilemma.

What is it with West Ham? Just as the club is on the cusp of greatness, it appears to be doing its level best to muck things up, kindly note that we used the word Muck! That sentiment might be shared differently by fans, but whatever your opinion of whoever is to blame, the fact is Hammers are in a downward spiral that shows little chance of ending in smiles.
