As anachronisms are all the rage in media circles and platforms we thought we would kick off with L.A.M.E as the anachronism for West Ham United's woeful, yet predictable, defeat away to bottom three club Cardiff City. As many fans feared Hammers turned up like 'billy big bollocks' and were shown the door, they were out thought and definitely out fought by the home team who were buoyed by their opponents lackadaisical approach from the get go.

Cardiff City: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett, Arter, Gunnarsson, Camarasa, Murphy, Hoilett, Niasse. Subs: Smithies, Ralls, Zohore, Paterson, Reid, Bacuna, Harris
West Ham United: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Noble, Rice, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Anderson, Hernandez.Subs: Adrian, Balbuena, Arnautovic, Obiang, Nasri, Masuaku, Antonio.

In a similar fashion to waiting for London buses, Hammers manager Manuel Pellegrini finds himself with what will seem like three new signings when his side take on beleagured Neil Warnock's Cardiff City side this afternoon. The return to full fitness of Manuel Lanzini has already been well documented, Mikail Antonio and Aaron Cresswell both appear to be back to their previous heights and the "General' Fabian Balbuena is back after four months.
