I am so angry at the board and how they have run our club for years 🤬🤬🤬

jonathan.gorrie173d ago

It's infuriating, I feel your pain. Do you have any hope for next season?

swhitecrossuk8173d ago

luckily it wont cost us to rid of nuno bring on kevin nolan and nobes as back up, passion for the new era

Out of the squad who featured yesterday, who do you think stays for next season?

chillout173d ago

Only the players no other club wants !

reubengane5173d ago

Our new owners will slosh out the money 🤑🤑🤑💰

jonathan.gorrie173d ago

I think Bowen COULD stay but depends how much we need to raise. KWP, Mads, Kilman (I know), Kante, Potts, Scarles, Pablo too. You?

blackcatguard-shop172d ago

Before players jet off to their 5* all exclusive holiday resorts they ought to remember that we have paid for their life style and holidays before they jump ship, because even our championship is better than some other leagues and they owe us after their shameful season

chillout173d ago

jakewhu173d ago

Yeah all of them. I’d like to think Soucek and Wilson stay as well but I could also see them leave if someone in the Prem wanted them.

SULLIVAN MUST GO NOW!!!

chillout173d ago

kwaylen173d ago

Bowen has stated that he will honor his contract and wants to get west ham back in the premier league where they belong!

kwaylen173d ago

Bellamy would be my first choice he’s got a bit about him and loves west ham

gordon1davison173d ago

Along with his son, their awful recruitment both players and managers leave a lot to be desired

kwaylen173d ago

I would like us to rebuild with either Craig Bellamy or Scott Parker and have the club run by professional people who are accountable for their actions just like when you run any business! We need to copy Bournemouth Brighton brentford. And when we build a team don’t sell your captain or leaders in the team which made it what it was! We need to act now!!!

An awful day - but who stood out the most vs Leeds? 🫩

Let us know below

talan2011172d ago

How many of our squad have now been relegated 2 years running

swhitecrossuk8173d ago

Taty never stops running and throws himself at all crosses if he stays will score plenty in championship

dantowen81951173d ago

I really like him. I can see another Prem club coming in and offering us the chance to make our money back - got Forest written all over him I think

gingergonk1173d ago

For me Fernandez was years above his age. It does make me wonder how certain players have been playing for a transfer? Let’s be honest, the writing has been on the wall for months…

chillout173d ago

igosurfing173d ago

Those four all tried but Taty tried a lot harder. He really has been up for it lately. His passion for the badge shone through. Will be a shame to lose him.

dantowen81951173d ago

Yeah, one of those who actually grew his reputation here. It will be a real shame to say goodbye to Disasi

ray.baxterct1951173d ago

Sullivan, he left his seat early leaving his wife on her own. Was it a toilet break? or did he leg it before the s*** hit the fan? I was pleased we won, but I can't help thinking Leeds took their foot off the gas a little. Diouf booted balls too far again.Shame about Pablo. The pattern was set months ago, for now a reset is in order,with sensible decisions

chillout173d ago

Sullivan.

dantowen81951173d ago

I really hope Pablo stays and is given the chance to bounce back

dale.odonnell174d ago

Do West Ham fans think Mateus Fernandes has what it takes to play for a top club competing in the Champions League?

chillout173d ago

Bowen to United ?

philbrown55173d ago

Yes. He could play for anyone frankly. PSG and ManU already circling. Expect City and Real Madrid to join the queue. Would love him to stay but if sold at the right price we might be able to afford to keep some other potential departures. He was M.O.M. by a million miles yesterday.

jonathan.gorrie173d ago

Brilliant player but that performance at Newcastle is still winding me up

dantowen81951173d ago

I think he does. The best midfielder on the market for me outside of Anderson

jo.hadland174d ago

I thought David Moyes was loving the idea of helping us stay up, by giving it their all😕🤔

chillout173d ago

He was giving his all - it just ain’t much these days!

stephenplaistowe69174d ago

Moyes and Everton played down

jamesshearman23174d ago

Haha yes that's what he said but Everton players didn't turn up at all. I don't know if you saw the game but they were shocking!

kwaylen174d ago

This day has been on the horizon for the last 3 years or so! We almost escaped but had a few awful moments v brentford and Newcastle that let us down! And some things conspired against us ie man utd at home Arsenal at home and Chelsea away!

jamesshearman23174d ago

Everyone will remember the Newcastle game but failing to beat Palace and blowing a 2-0 lead to Chelsea were more frustrating

andydread67174d ago

Taty and Fernandes worked so hard all game. First half they didn't seem to have much help.

chillout173d ago

jamesshearman23174d ago

Fernandes is definitely gone but Taty should stay. He could score 20+ in the Championship

jakewhu174d ago

All 4 of the above were decent and have been for the majority of the season.

chillout174d ago

Maybe we will get more for Bowen now - so I guess that is a positive.

dantowen81951174d ago

Thought Taty was very good. Just a shame he looks certain to leave

jamesshearman23174d ago

I wouldn't sell him unless it was a £30m offer

Open full discussion →

Relegation confirmed - where do West Ham go from here?

john.qlink172d ago

I wish that "Giphy" would dissappear under some rock

reubengane5172d ago

Playing swashbuckling, fun, attacking football under our new Manager Slaven Bilic

dantowen81951172d ago

Sullivan wanted him when Potter left but think Brady was against it. Now she’s gone, there might be a possibility

reubengane5172d ago

Back to Upton Park - The Home of the Hammers.

alan.mayo51173d ago

Where do we go from here? League 1 if we are not careful. We will lose our best players and financial difficulties will prevent us signing anyone half decent.

philbrown55173d ago

I think you are being unduly pessimistic. I expect us to come back up before too long

jo.hadland173d ago

In the post-relegation club statement, it says that the club is not about winning or losing but about the proud values and traditions based in the East London roots. Well, they moved the ground away from East London. If they want loyalty, do you think they might try to move the club back to the East End, somehow, and beef up their community projects there?

igrimshaw01174d ago

Anyone read the cub statement? What a load of 💩 They should've acknowledging the fans months age Ultimately, Sullivan is to blame and he had to go. BUT as much as I love Nuno, his team selections against Leeds, Brentford and Newcastle have sent us down. Big change all round COYI ⚒️

dantowen81951173d ago

Too negative for me, Nuno. His caution ironically cost us in the end

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

To Scott Parker. I know there are issues with him in the PL but we don't have the luxury of worrying about that yet. Need to get up again instantly

jakewhu174d ago

Top of something at least.

jamesshearman23174d ago

A huge clear-out needed. Get rid of anyone who doesn't want to be here. Then bring in some hungry young players and some experienced vets who will fight for the badge.

dantowen81951173d ago

Good thing is, we do have a lot of young kids who could benefit - Ajala, Kante, Mayers, Orford

brogan174d ago

Lincoln away ole ole

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

When's the DVD out for finishing 17th mate?

chillout174d ago

Lincoln and Bolton, I guess.

dantowen81951174d ago

Too early for positives, but the Champ could be fun if things go to plan - Leeds obviously should be the example to follow now

Open full discussion →

Where was that all season? 🤦‍♂️ Tell us how you feel about West Ham's 3-0 win vs Leeds...

West Ham have been relegated despite the victory 😢

reubengane5173d ago

Great win pity Wilson and Taty weren't teamed up 12 games ago!

philbrown55173d ago

For 20 minutes we were worryingly poor. Misplaced passes, not defending properly etc. For the rest of the game we were better but still mucked up several golden attacking opportunities and even missed clear scoring chances: Taty and Pablo, twice each. Once ahead we calmed down and played well. In the end we could have won 5-0.

nedand173d ago

Declan Rice was the biggest loss.

dantowen81951173d ago

Yep, never replaced his drive or leadership

debham5850173d ago

Just keep in mind, Leeds had nothing to play for and were already on the beach/holidays. I think it would have been a different Leeds if they had been battling for survival. They weren't, and it showed.

dale.odonnell174d ago

Too late for survival.

amirmir174d ago

Nuno has been useless quite a lot of the times. Not brave enough tactically, but those running the ship are far worse. People like Brady can jump ship before everything sinks, and as always, it's the fans who will suffer and have to pay the price.

philipsheward843174d ago

Sullivan has to do the right thing and go his direction has been very poor over all should never have let Moyce go he was slowly building a good team with limited resources and now we’ve got to start all over again shocking

raycountry1174d ago

They're saying how bad it feels. We're going to have to watch players put in for transfers, we've had players say they want to stay & fight to get promoted straight away. That's going to be hard with half a team & owners that have put deep in debt. So the one's that do stay will have to do a hell of a lot better. Time will tell.

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

Yep, really hard to see a way back right now. Reckon we could do a Leicester?

acottonfisch174d ago

I had hope until that shambolic game against Newcastle last week. We didn't deserve the help from any other team. The Diouf/Summerville partnership needed more time to grow but we relied too much on it too soon. So many overhit crosses from the left. Taty isn't a clinical finisher but he's always there trying! Convince Wilson to stay another year!

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

That Diouf performance at times today was painful, wasn't it?

jakewhu174d ago

First half we were poor. Needed to get a goal before Spurs. Second half decent but too late.

dantowen81951174d ago

Realistically, we knew this was coming. What matters now is working out quickly who is staying and who is going - a huge summer awaits now

chillout174d ago

reubengane5174d ago

A great win, I'll never forgive Aston Villa and in particular their Manager who presented Spurs with three points putting out a no win team 😞

chillout174d ago

I still say you can’t blame Villa - one team won European silverware, the other got relagated. Emery was looking after his own.

jamesshearman23174d ago

Yes that was very frustrating!

jamesshearman23174d ago

That hurts more than going down without a whimper! Nuno will regret not playing 4-4-2 against Newcastle and other games 😕

chillout174d ago

reubengane5174d ago

Nuno should have partnered Wilson and Taty a long time ago!

Open full discussion →

The team news is in - give us your immediate reaction! ⚒️ 🆚 ⚪

Would you have made the same changes?

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

I don't think any team will really convince people right now but that's as good as we could hope for

chillout174d ago

Yes - it will mean nothing unless they deliver.

dantowen81951174d ago

Glad to see Taty back and a back-four! Two correct decisions from Nuno imo

chillout174d ago

Open full discussion →

Why not Fabianski ? No chance of it, but he's played on big occasions-if Areola can't make it. (just saying)

dantowen81951174d ago

I’ve backed Mads for ages but that pass for Newcastle’s first goal was pretty unforgivable

philbrown55173d ago

The pass wasn't that bad. The problem was actually that airhead Todibo not paying attention, then defending the situation like a rank amateur. The signings of him and Kilman have killed us.

Open full discussion →

Play Areola (please 🙏) and Tatty. Wilson off the bench

jonathan.gorrie173d ago

Wendy, please tell us the film was better than the football yesterday!

wendy.a.james173d ago

Entertaining fantasy …. Rather like expecting results to go our way yesterday.

reubengane5175d ago

Seems a good idea Wendy who would you start alongside Taty?

jonathan.gorrie175d ago

100% agreed, Wendy! By the way, please let us know how the film goes tomorrow - we might need cheering up 😂

chillout174d ago

We all should have gone.

Nuno wants to make YOU proud - so where do you think we finish in the table when all is said and done on Sunday?!

amirmir174d ago

'Make our fans proud...' Even if West Ham survive relegation, there is nothing to be 'proud' about.

igrimshaw01175d ago

I'm with you Jonathan, I've got more chance of growing a new a***hole than of us staying up but I'm clinging on to I might wake up with with a 2nd one on Monday morning ⚒️

chillout174d ago

Not sure if fertiliser will help.

chillout175d ago

jonathan.gorrie175d ago

This is me right now (partly because London is baking hot today and I am not built for that 😂)

westham-mike175d ago

Well don't park the bus then go all out for the win 442

reubengane5175d ago

Don't park that bus in Stratford Mike it'll get nicked 😂

jonathan.gorrie175d ago

Agreed, with Taty and Pablo up front and Wilson off the bench?

chillout175d ago

I don’t think Nuno can help himself.

Open full discussion →

Pretend you're Nuno - what changes are you making ahead of Leeds? 👀

If anyone says keep the back five, I'll be shocked 😂

ray.baxterct1951174d ago

Just a thought at the risk of being laughed at, if Areola isn't fit, why not Fabianski ? He'd be up for it.

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

I'd love that! But it seems like he's had a back issue that has ruled him out for most of the season

razorwestham175d ago

Drop the useless hermansen and todibo and soucek. And bring back areola . Wilson taty up front kante alongside fernandes his strong .

dantowen81951174d ago

I’d always start Soucek, I just feel like days like day are made for big Tom

michaelfmeyer72175d ago

4-4-2

jonathan.gorrie174d ago

Let's hope! What we're hearing about the team later might go down well with you!

chillout175d ago

Maybe wear a suit, so he is suitably attired after the game when he gets sacked!

dantowen81951174d ago

Haha now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen Nuno wear a suit since his Valencia days

ray.baxterct1951175d ago

4-2-3-1 is my choice with Wilson fermenting on the bench, getting worked up for a second half appearance,BUT NOT LEFT TOO LATE. Mads worries the crap out of me, Areola should be the best option if he's fit enough. Pablo needs a rocket up his backside to get him working. Diouf needs to measure his passes. I rest my case M'lord.

reubengane5174d ago

Not guilty Ray, hopefully we'll all cheering from the Dock around 6ish?

jamesshearman23175d ago

Yes!! Don’t bring Wilson on with 10 mins to go. Need to give him 30 mins if we’re chasing a goal

colinjones160962176d ago

4-4-1-1, we have enough going forward we just don't to concede a early goal, just sign off with a win.

jonathan.gorrie176d ago

Are you starting Wilson?

richardmills19300176d ago

Back four kwp on the right Pablo behind Katy 1st half Wilson behind 2nd half if needed and go for it

ray.baxterct1951175d ago

That's a good shout, I reckon Richard, but they all need to turn up.

jo.hadland177d ago

Go back to Disai, Diouf, Walker Peters and Mavrapanos. You have to be solid at the back. You have to defenders who know their link-up partners. Do what he was doing before Newcastle.

dantowen81951174d ago

Even when we did ok with a back five - the 1-1 with city and the 0-1 at arsenal - we didn’t create much. Have to go for it v Leeds and make our own luck!

jonathan.gorrie176d ago

Agreed, Jo! We CANNOT see five at the back again

raycountry1177d ago

It's got to be All or nothing. Every single one playings got to give everything on the pitch.

chillout175d ago
