When it comes to criticising the club's owners, we have been as vociferous as many other West Ham fans sites. But we are westhamfans.org and have focused rightly on the mistakes of the past decade made by the co-owners, which included pointing out some painful home truths. However we are not so blinkered or absorbed in our dislike of the board that we pursue a negative agenda irrespective of the truth, therefore it is with great delight that we shall be sitting down to eat some Umble Pie!

Here we go, Jim 'Brown Nose' White will have his yellow tie and pink shirt on later as he takes his traditional role up as Sky and Talksport's Anchor man. Hammers have been busy, who else will join Alphonse Areola, Kurt Zouma and Nikola Vlasic?

When we use the term giraffe in association with Hammers centre back Issa Diop, it is generally a jovial reference to his height and his gait, but we have used it in this article's headline because there are rumours, which first surfaced a couple of weeks ago, that Crystal Palace want to sign Diop, ON LOAN!

There are cheeky bids and there are cheeky bids, Palace's falls into the incredibly cheeky bracket, why on earth would David Moyes want to leave himself with just three centre backs to get through an entire campaign that sees the club competing in FOUR competitions?
