West Ham are complete failures! Let's all laugh at 'em!

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Amazing scenes.

They won't have to go far to find Curbs at least.

Those clappers are brilliant.

How do they make the booing noise?

Whilst its great to laugh, I fear this might give renewed impetus and hope to Burnley and Hull.

Even in defeat those bastards can't get anything right.

Looks like Zola is going to have a tough time hanging on to his job.

Whats more surprising that West Ham fans think Hughes would want that job, is that West Ham fans would want Hughes full stop. I thought they only wanted the beautiful game. Not exactly Hughes's history.

Hughes would go because he is holding out for a big club. West Ham are even bigger than City!! :|

England will be screwed if either Green or Upson play. Every time I've seen them they've been atrocious.

No argument here. Green seems to give us 2 goals every time we play, and while people claim Cahill is not ready as yet, every time I see Upson play I always wonder when was he ever ready.

... if he has a clause which pays him less if he walks you are correct coz with this he could walk & claim that they'd made it impossible not to.

Either way, he's toast come summer. Megson's route back I reckon.

God bless Eddie Davies - our support was having a civil war over the ex-manager, playing woeful football and we were in the bottom three - he kept a dignified silence and we ended up with Owen Coyle.

Sullivan can't keep his mouth shut (one minute he's saying they'll sign a £100k a week player, the next he's saying his players earn too much?), puts pressure on the manager/squad/staff, and worst of all, he dresses like some tramp on a car boot sale.

I feel for Zola - WHU are another poisoned chalice
Troll and proud of it.

Today, Zola has barred Sullivan from attending training or sitting in on the team discussion.

It's clear Zola knows he's gone ... so nothing to behave for now.

The players will leave e-masse`in the summer. He will get replacements, of course, but it could take some time for it all to settle.

This remains a big club, so their level of failure will be relative, but whenever non-footballing owners try to direct the playing side of things it ends in tears. Chester City got this with an idiot who dictated purchases, formations, tactics and eventually took over as manager & even played off the bench a few times.

As I said, it's all relative, but it's a sticky path you tread on when the Chairman starts interfering in day to day matters in an obvious & intrusive way..

Indeed, I'd be tempted to walk-out and sue for constructive - as someone else has mentioned previously...

We all have our favourite players, our heroes. Older fans can remember players like Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters – the cornerstone of England's 1966 World Cup win. I know rival teams mock us West Ham fans for saying that, but one was the captain, another scored a hat-trick, the other scored the fourth. That sounds like a claret and blue contribution to me.

News just in - Sky Sports News has been re-named West Ham News - or at least is was last night.

When you consider that Sunderland are a bigger club (both in honours and fan-base), it makes you realise how much time the media devote to these Essex wannabe-cockneys.
