No no Ronnie, he needs more time......stability, stability stability.....

 

I'm sure he'll get a six month extension if he gets another couple of draws under his belt.

"You can't park there it's a disabled space" shouted the parking attendant.

"Sorry but there are eleven empty spaces, it's not as if eleven disabled people are going to turn up at once", I replied.

.

At which point the west ham team bus turned up to disprove my theory

Not much of a fan of Moyes Ronnie, but from what I've seen of Noble lately that was an overdue move. Maybe Moyes got that one right.

Bilic had left him out too earlier this season. I'd like to see Chicarito or Ayew playing alongside Carroll.

It's no surprise or a problem to the fans. They know his best days are gone.

Fellaini will be along shortly.

Is that why he's stalling contract terms

They can certainly afford it.

 

I wonder how much the dildo twins and Brady bunch have taken out of that club during this 'transition' to their new athletics track.

They should buy their fans binoculars from Del Boy for Xmas....with lens caps superglued on.

They should have hung onto Big Sam.

No no no ..

I know we were better under him, but his departure was a relief for all.

So how's Zaba doing? I read a half season report which said something like his legs might have gone (which is why he moved on) but his spirit still inspires. Hit or miss so far?

Hit. Our best player early on. Has given some free kicks and at least 1 penalty away, but I guess that part of being a defender.

 

Hart on the other hand..

Pretty well summed up I would say. Teams have targeted his lack of pace and playing balls in behind him when he likes to get forward. Left us exposed in quite a few games. Personally I think he still deserves his place. His experience and leadership are still inspirational. The fans can suffer the negatives when you have the right attitude and desire. 

[Kadilo]

Great result with a weakened team. Set up for a draw and got it. Well organised and great commitment. Just what the fans want to see, 100%.

What an astonishingly boring negative side West Ham are.  If the Moyes blend of football was all that was on offer i'd give up on football and watch the egg chasers.

[Bredbury Blue]

While I empathise with Spurs (majority of City games recently encounter park the bus football), other teams must play to their best advantage, which these days means increasingly attack vs defence in the defending team's half - David vs Goliath with the majority of neutrals understandably rooting for David.

West Ham don't have the class to beat Spurs going toe to toe. It was clear from the side he picked and even in the warm up what the tactics would be. There will be easier battles ahead in the next few games where they will be set up totally different and can go toe to toe with the likes of Huddersfield etc. 

It was a bonus point. It's understandable Spurs fans will be bitter. They couldn't break down a defence with an old man and an 18 year old keeping the Premierships top striker in their pocket. That's where they and City differ and why City are so far ahead.

You could have just left it at "West Ham don't have class".  

 

Never seen a caravan parked up like that!!

Clearly you haven t been watching any games recently. It happens regularly against City but they have the class to still win. 

Our defenders were a class act last night, the goal we scored was a class goal. Our fans were class. Unfortunately Spurs so called class players didn't perform well enough on the night to break down the "classless team"

I agree entirely.

 

All ten of your defenders did an excellent job.

And all of your 10 attackers couldnt break them down. It happens. That's the difference in Spurs and Man City which Spurs have to address if they want to get anywhere near the title. Not everyone is going to come and play open football and roll over.

You may be interested to know that West Ham's Andy Carroll is being linked to a move to Chelsea.(BBC Gossip column).

really champs?  sure would be a better number two striker then bat kitkat .have him instead of the pest vardy .carroll has had many injuries which have stymied his progress..on whats available he would fit wombats requirement a big bustling num.ber nine .with fortitude

[Rc2702]

Few people have to eat their hat on moyes or is it just the jan transfer window that's giving them the shop window effect these past couple of months. Decent job but I suspect the wh players are thinking exit strategy.

[tw25rw]

I've stopped going, but I like Moyes so far and hope we keep him. We could have a decent era under him.

[Bredbury Blue]

Up to 10th. But all teams 9th downwards are not out of the relegation battle.

See Zaba was rolling back the years in midfield last night. He and Noble; they don't come anymore competitive.
