PLAYED 11
WON 0
DRAWN 2
LOST 9
Now LOST LAST 8 @ Reebok – goodbye GZ, dont' forget to turn the light off on your way out.
We should let Parker go he is too good to play with the other rubbish we have he will never play for england while he plays for us
I've stopped watching. Very depressing!!!
Still think we will be okay. we have more favorable home fixtures after xmas.
should never have sold Collins. Our defence is an absolute joke.
Stan, Franco, Parker, Diamanti and Collison (and I am being generous becasue he layed the ball on for Diamanti) the rest can sling their hook! I have never been this disgusted with a West Ham team, I am litterally livid.
Odds on to be bottom at christmas and you know what that means
We are going down. Get out Zola
Another loss to a P poor football team. A team that is a disgrace to the top flight.
What an utter shambles. I look forward to the apologists to explain this one.
cant even be bothered to watch the remaining minutes.
The wait till Jan for panic button mentality has just cost us our place in The Prem next year. Too little too late. We can go on a 6 game winning streak in Feb, its not going to matter.
what the hell are chelski going to do to us sunday !!!! can we get it pulled of the telly !!!! enough is enough,straumer need to sell to anyone who will put anything on the table !!!! this joke is not funny anymore
I'm at the game on sunday and i can genuinly say that i don't want to go – i just fear the worse.
i think thats 4x in a row we have lost 3-1 to bolton or i may be wrong however that doesnt change we have just been lashed by a second rate bolton squad who are below opps i mean 2 points clear i love west ham but this is an utter embaresment and i have to say im disdusted to even support a team with no heart green can go for 6 mil gabbidon tomkins ilunga fauber and upson can go for 20 mil for the lot kovac stan noble and not by wanting parker can go should bring in at least 15 mil and then jus get a new team and build them around cole and colli as it seems they are the only ones who play with any heart
you would think one player would stand up and go wot the Fcuk is going on this is west ham fc how can you all sit there doing f all
Hi guys,
Haven't posted much but been watching, wasn't going to say much tonight but I just have to say this!
I don't care who agrees with me or who is going to slate me for this but I have to say, we are in BIG trouble and we are probably going down!
I am also sorry but Zola and Clarke HAVE to go now! If we get some decent signings in January and a new manager, MIGHT get that new manager syndrome and start playing well, just like we did when Zola took over!
We are 2nd from bottom and Pompey have a game in hand over us, if they win that game by 2 clear goals, they leap us and we will be bottom!
This is simply NOT good enough and Upson, Green, Ilunga and Kovac should be sold in January.
But I fear it is too late, we are Championship bound! I said this a while back and every jumped on my back, well I'm saying it again, think of it what you will!
Fair dues to you Matt, you were one of the doom mongers from very early on but you have been proved correct. We are atrocious and on this form are bound for the championship, which nobody can deny. If we don't change something we will go down.
I am so disappointed. I cannot believe we have allowed ourselves to be in this position yet again. In my opinion Zola has to go because so far this year he is incapable of winning enough games and I can't see how that is going to change!
Lol thanks mate! In all honesty though, it wasn't supposed to be all doom and glom from me! It was just a feeling! I have had the same feeling that I had in 2003 when we were relegated!
And then we had a very very good team! I just couldn't see us getting out of this back in sept!
Nobody hoped I would be wrong more than me mate! And I take NO pride whatsoever in me being correct on this occasion!
But thanks for the message mate
Matt
will we get a manager vote on zola…like the players have to suffer every week. Where will be the in zola in trust brigade after the chelsea game???
sorry im bloody furious this is not funny anymore…we need action and now before its too late…if its not already
strumar/ the chairmen must act to remove duxbury/nanni/zola/clarke NOW or we are going to be in the championship for sure…if not for gods sake please sell us to me for 10 euros…i cannot make a worse job than this lot…sullivan got birmingham for a quid so its a fair offer.
Chelsea at the weekend….cant wait!
Gifted them 3 goals again!
I dont want Zolas head, i dont even want to slate the players. It was nearly a different result. But once again sloppy defending cost us.
They will play better at the weekend because its Chelsea. We always lose to Bolton so this result is disappointing, but not surprising.
COYI!
This is getting embarrassing. We conceded three, once again. Three losts in a row. Zola is panicing. Something must happen, and soon!
When will Zola accept that we are not good enough.. I am tired of him defending our efforts after every game when its obvious we were 2nd best.
Listen lads – we are all gutted about the result but let's see this as it is.
1. Get rid of Zola? Why? He couldnt have really played anyone else today because of injuries and then Dyer gets injured as well. Maybe Nouble could have played but we just dont have any options right now
2. Freakish mistake by Green for them to go 2-1 up. Lets get behind him as he has saved us so many times. he is a great keeper and deserves our support. He along with the others must be low on confidence.
3. Terrible errors by defense again. Why? Because they are not used to playing with each other. This is what you get when you sell Collins get rid of Neill and have Upson injured. It takes time to form a water-tight unit and this will never happen with so many injuries and players coming in and out.
4. The board has dismantled one of the best defenses of last year and sold it off. To be fair that is not Zola's fault.
5. If we are going to focus any of our frustration and rightful anger, then please let's focus it on the board and not Zola and the players. It doesn't help us to succeed.
6. West Ham Players are terribly low on confidence but I thought they played with commitment tonight – they came up short because of terrible defensive errors. See above. We MUST get behind the team- IT IS NOT THE TEAM, AND IT IS NOT THE MANAGER TO BLAME FOR THIS SEASON. IT IS THE BOARD
We are different to all these other tin-pot clubs who shout for the manager's head. We should feel for zola with what is happening to the club is above his head. If he resigned now where would that leave us?
The chelsea's, arsenal's and tottenhams of this world get on the back of the players the second they lose a couple of games – Let see the bigger picture here. We dont have the luxury of their board's. Zola is managing with his hands tied.
Screw the board and get behind the management and the players. They are trying I feel.
After watching the game i must admit i am livid, we need help and we need it quickly. Zola cannot be blamed in my opinion, he wants us to play football, if you watch our goal that states everything, it was magical. Green undoubtibly will be kicking himself. Rember when we lost to the spuds a few years back 4-3 and we thaught we were dead and burried but that game lifted our spirits and we stayed up, don't give up the faith as hard as it is i know. I am absolutely gutted about tonight but we must sort our deffence out. a new backline is what we need as that will shape things out to be better, going forward we looked strong until the final third, we were missing cole big time as he holds the ball up very well, we need some more players of his stature to give us an end product, where will this money come from, god knows but i am going to pray that we can get out of this and that we can get every bit of help possible. Straumer are obs effecting the team and must go and quite frankly i don't care who buys us anymore, anyone who can make the club stable and give us funds to buy fresh faces sounds fine to me as we need a quick solution.
If you are true supporters you will get behind the team and we will pull through this. with two massive home games coming up after chelski as i don't see us winning that, pompey and wolves at home are must win games, 3 wins and we are mid table, it is very tight down the bottom so don't panic just yet, lets just hope for some good news soon as the off field problems seem to be effecting us like they did last time when we were in trouble.
I told you it’s the system. You can swap players around and you still get the same result. How frustrating this
is. 0
points against mediocre teams this past week. As long as this team keeps
selling it’s better players their won’t be any success
I have been sitting here in LA staring at the computer in disbelieve, All sorts of comments and thoughts and then I read Andy's comment and…he is so right!! This is what Zola have to deal with and I feel sorry for him. Our weakest link is our defense, with this poor self esteem, all the team need is a goal down and…full collapse. Us starting to scream for heads to roll is NOT improving anybody's situation. Let's pick up on or two decent defenders in Jan., get Cole back on his feet and a few wins and we are back in it!! It's friggin' December and a hell of a lot of games left to play…let's get behind them!! COYI!!
I’m calling Green Dracula…scared of crosses.what’s happened to him?If he wants away he’s not doing himself too much good in the shop window stakes is he? as for England’s number one….may be he needs a rest,and a chance to get back to where he was.
Have woken up this morning still feeling gutted after last night, all it was, was one stupid uncharacteristic error that cost us everything. Just watched steve clarkes interview and you can tell he was bitterly dissapointed and low on confidence, i think the whole team is on a big low, he mentioned that he didn't think that the takeover would even go through so he obviously knows something their. But i am not sure that could even help. It is very tight down at the bottom and a couple wins pulls us up the table the bad news is that we have chelsea next. I am really fustrated as if we had won we would have been 15th but the fact is we didn't, again. We really need a confidence boost, once we have got cole back, i think he will be able to help us big time. We are better passing the ball and scoring propper class goals like last night, hoofing the ball is useless. we must sort this out.
