back from my exotic jaunt to sunderrrrland and how there fans viewed some of our players was very interesting...being amongst the natives for the match it did not take long for them to workout I was a foreigner!! but there was no hint of violence just the odd piss take and by HT quite a few were mentioning how they expected to lose the match when jenks knocked in the goal on HT....payet what a player how did you manage to get him they laughed when I told them many west ham fans asking that question but very happy we have him...they loved sakho and his tireless running even for lost causes canna go ta sleep with him around I grasped from the native language Adrian the liked because he has character...not the best gk they said but more reliable than many in the prem....noble seems ok but he loses concentration and the ball chases back brings players down and gets booked regular sigh how could I disagree with that one! this lanzini he's a helluva player get a few pies in him and he will last the season didn't we try that with Benni lol..... my last words with those around me was to warn them not to give hippo head the job and many of them agreed but with the players we have he will probably be the only one able to keep us up....my mate the sunderland fan who I went with sadly agreed so i'll enjoy ripping into him on a regular basis if it happens lol

so the seasons not even 10 games old and yet another international break what a pain in the arse this is.....I have not bothered with England since rooney slagged the fans off in Africa as he walked off the pitch and lets face facts who are we kidding about winning the euros or world cup....as for woy saying nobody is guaranteed a place next summer that's a load of rubbish we all no he will pick from his fav clubs no matter how poor the player is playing because "world class talent" always come to the fore lol what world class talent do we have? I don't see any we have some decent players yes but world class never...the only international game worth watching will be England Scotland next year in the world cup qualifier other than that personally I have no interest and that saddens me because I used to enjoy the world cup/euro qualifiers but not anymore....oh yeah one last thing when we get knocked out next summer its because our players are to tired we need a winter break etc etc nothing will change cynical maybe but I doubt i'll be proved wrong

Just been watching highlights from our previous games this season, i must say to me it feels like Mark Noble is a weak link in our team, he has giving away possession many times which either lead to a goal or an goal scoring opportunity for the other team. I would have Song playing as our defensive mid ( when fit ) or Kouyate.

To be honest i think Bilic made a mistake by making him Captain because that makes it difficult for Bilic not to have him as a starter because he is the team Captain.

I love the guy, he is a great player to have and i know he is West Ham through and through but i would of liked to see Reid as our Captain. He is a guaranteed starter and i think he can be great commanding from the back.

Before anyone starts with the 'what do you know about football etc', this is just my opinion, we all support the mighty Hammers and are entitled to our own opinion.

Rogers, was sacked hours after addvacaat leaves. 2 gone already. Maybe the likes of lawrenceson and his buddies fancy Sam at the helm of their club? I'm not happy Rogers has gone because he was doing a fine job at anfield imo. Having said that a perfect example of a man who arrogance surpasses his ability

We seem to have a problem with our starter motor, obviously the concentration level is not that great too.
Every time we play we seem to give away goals from simple defensive errors, it cannot keep going on like this unless Adrian is Superman every week it is going to become a bigger problem.
What is the problem is it the new style and the requirement to play a faster slicker passing game than what we did under Sam , or is it nerves ? .The slack passing is costing us some decent points.

Jesus H Christ a cracking game ,how do these guys do it on a fraction of the wages of footballers

Has super Dick gone soft? Well I for one hope the irons stuff Sunderland and show the fans that dick is firing blanks up there. Big Sam in shrinking dick out..!!

Its bloody cold up here this morning!! staying in holiday inn Washington and the beds are nowhere near as comfy as lenny would have you believe....just back from my morning run and jeeez seeing your breath in the air for the first time this year is scary! its gowan ta be a sunnie day man or something like that told to me by the receptionist as I shivered my way back inside lol ok I kid a little but who cares as long as we win COYI

Saw this on OS - good news but why not longer? Love this guy - he is a great shot stopper, with a mad streak about him... gets us into trouble occasionally but far outweighed by the times he gets us out of it! His performances are raising a few eyebrows from pundits and other teams. Hope he has West Ham in his long term plans!

Happy birthday Trevor probably my all time fav west ham player seen him do so much magic at the Boleyn its hard to nail down a fav memory but way back before Chelsea became super rich because of abramovic I rmbr a game where trev curled a ball from just outside the area past peter barota(I think) with his right foot and a little bit later did the same again with his left a truly magical player and a real gent I hope he has and is having a great birthday
