As captain he is as responsible for keeping the players motivated on the pitch, which he is sh*t at doing, especially come the second half. His pace is embarressing to watch and he gives possession away far too much." I Agree “I think Neill has got some neck!

I Agree

I cant believe he is the Captain of west ham !! he has no pace and cant tackle ! Scott Parker if we can keep him fit or Matty Upson toss a coin both would be ideal captains!! we need to get Appiah desperately !! Lucas Neil is a fat overpaid aussie millwall wanker!!

This club is the best club in the world and the media shites can do what they want but they will not break the spirit that this club has in bundles. We have some new blood coming in, hopefully with Appiah about to join, let's get behind the team and get them producing on the pitch. We mustn't be blind to what is happening off it and ensure we let the Board know how we feel, both good and bad; but love him or hate him we have a manager who loves this club and I know will be doing whatever he can to make it a success. Those who compare with Charlton are not taking in to account the differences in the clubs and that is a mistake. Like all of us AC is still learning, this is his first manger's role at a big club, one that does have ambitions beyond staying in the Premiership and so far he was saved us from almost certain relegation followed by a 10th place finish, so why can't he take us further if he is given the resources and the squad remians by in large fit. With the new blood and hopefully Appiah to come I feel a lot more positive than a few days ago, so COYI. Totally agree with Brooking and Alan (I was a Rocape Officer for 9 years).

Lets hope that it has cleared the air and given some people the shock that they needed to up their games. We may have won two and lost one but we are lucky to have done so nearly squandering both home games. As for Neill he does read the game well the trouble is he is so very slow that he still gets done for pace every time. We need pace in that team, it looks pretty slow at the back, Upson although good is slow, Davenport is slow, Linda was slow, They all look like Usain Bolt compared to Neill though. Our Midfield is paceless also apart from Faubert, Dyer or Kyel Reid when they play.

Curbishley: ''Lucas, you were at fault a couple of times out there today, try and remain focussed ok?' Neill: ''F*** you, we saved your job you idiot'' Curbishley: ''and i saved your bank managers job'' Green: ''actually you were crap quite a lot of the time, you always are'' Behrami: ''how you say? you make me look like Roberto Carlos you are that bad'' Boa Morte: ''a few improved performances and one day you might be as popular as me with the fans Skippy''. Thats exactly how it happened. Curbishley is the master at the slow burn, cross him and he won't say much, but eventually you will be gone. So theres a silver lining. West Ham United home dressing room. 4:50pm.

Lucas Neill has leadership responsibilities as club captain. One very important attribute of any leader is loyalty, that is not to suggest that you must always agree with your superior. however you must be seen to support them. To undermine the manager in the dressing room whilst wound up is not the way to conduct yourself. Lucas Neill must surely have access to the manager during the week. A constructive meeting on Monday morning after a couple of nights to consider his points would have been better way of getting his opinion across. This would also ensure there were no ugly scenes in the dressing room avoiding the danger of polarizing opinion. Then there would be no story for the gutter press, giving them the opportunity to yet again drag the name of OUR club through the mud. I actually agree that the manager should be inspiring the team but so should the captain. I used to teach leadership in the armed forces. Lucas Neill has leadership responsibilities as club captain.

Curbishley, Neil may have had words, Curbs maybe considering his position but as far as todays stories go, dont believe a word, the press are trying to cause trouble. This season just may just turn out to be a good one, something it seems the media are hellbent on trying to dis-rail. Hasn't our club been through it enough in recent months. Other clubs around about now would either get torn apart or close ranks, I would rather we close ranks and become a tight nit outfit determined to prove them all wrong. What do you think?
