Do any players know the rules? You cannot be offside from a throw in, so why didn't they think about it when they were so close to the half way line? Instead it was thrown to Pablo into our own half 2 metres away.

Bar a few players ray most are rich but braindead . Now like farage and tommy ten names its just about the money they can get which is obcene nowadays.

From what I've seen lately Razor, I sadly agree, when my lad played in the local under 9s 25 years ago he knew the rules and played with the knowledge every Sunday.

Thought for the day - if Leeds beat us on the final day - they finish 14 points above us.

Dont blame Bowen , he is one of 4 or 5 players who gave their everything. Our season started badly with Potter and we never recovered. End of. Interesting that Potter ran away to Manage Sweden....was this offered to him before signing for the greater good at West Ham?

How do YOU feel about Jarrod Bowen as a West Ham United captain....

Clearly a legend but a few dissenting voices 👀

A

alisonehills177d ago

He's gone down hill over the last 4/5 months. He's just not showing up. He should never have been made captain it should have been Soucek. However he's not the worse ayer in the squad by far.

J

jonathan.gorrie177d ago

Soucek seems a popular choice as skipper! Can't say I disagree!

R

razorwestham178d ago

Been poor lately if he moves fine chelsea good shout and they helped beating spurs. Stays in london why go up north dani loves it in london. Good luck to him. Hate northern clubs bar newcastle and city.

mark.hedges178d ago

he has been off the pace of late but you can't carry a team on your own for 6 years. The rest need to step up

Personally as a neutral viewer ( forest fan) west ham unlucky to get Newcastle away from home . Newcastle generally pressure quickly as displayed and west hams dreadful defending just wasn't ready for it. Been Newcastle at west ham I think would have been a bit different altogether as they have been crap away from home. I think west ham will beat Leeds 👍

C

chillout180d ago

I have a soft spot for Forest - they got a new manager in and he went for it; that was one of the key difference between them and us. Forest deserved to stay up.

J

jonathan.gorrie180d ago

I think the fact we were so poor at Palace and Brentford did for us really. Well, that and the board...

Too little too late yet again. 1 moment of brilliance from Taty, 2 moments of disaster from a defence who looked more like spectators than players yet again. Worst season I've seen in over 60 years, players should be ashamed. See you in the Championship

Bowen's form

P

philbrown55181d ago

In my view, Bowen's from is nowhere near as bad as some posters are saying. He has run his blood to water all season, and it is impossible to do that for a whole season. He's still our main goal threat. Look at his stats, even over the last 2 months. The lack of a goalscoring striker has been key. For all his hard work, and commitment, Taty isn't that guy.

C

chillout180d ago

C

chillout180d ago

He is not a leader, though

J

jamesshearman23181d ago

You’re probably not wrong about Taty but I thought he was great today. Scored a screamer and looked lively.

Pablo - terrible

J

jamesshearman23181d ago

that touch from the throw-in was hideous

R

reubengane5181d ago

Maybe he find his feet in the championship he's probably one of the only players who would want to stay, he's only a youngster and the Premier League is above his ability.

Nuno is not the manager to take us forward which ever division we are in. He was yet again too defensive minded we needed to be on the front foot from start should have started with back 4 not 3

P

pranav.shahaney181d ago

Who should the board hire to replace him?

R

reubengane5181d ago

Either of current Managers of Millwall or Leeds these guys know all about playing and promotion from the Championship 🏆

Todibo for me i also felt wilson wasnt really at the races today

R

ray.baxterct1951180d ago

Todibo looked as though he'd been shot with a tranquiliser dart and why wasn't Walker Peters involved?

J

jonathan.gorrie180d ago

Seems so strange to have dropped KWP after his recent good form.

P

pranav.shahaney181d ago

Absolutely. Was the right call to take him off in the first half. Reckon he starts against Leeds?

Hams is hopeless can't wait for him to leave in the summer

R

ray.baxterct1951180d ago

Areola would have been the right choice for this game,Hams has worried me for some time. I could write an essay giving my reasons.

S

stevenrcollins1180d ago

Agree mate

J

jonathan.gorrie181d ago

Sorry, misread! Yes, Hermansen did not cover himself in glory there. Should he have played Alphonse?

R

reubengane5181d ago

Good point but we are all wise after the event.

We are all but relegated — how would you feel about keeping Nuno in the Championship? 🧑‍💼

Or was that performance the last straw? 😡

The results only improved on January 15th when PACO JEMEZ became his No 2 he cannot cope without a No2 its common knowledge ffs

Which West Ham player was the most infuriating against Newcastle United?

The Hammers were shambolic at St. James' Park...

R

richardmills19300179d ago

Take your pick they all were awful the defence non existent the midfield just watched Newcastle go through them and the less said about the forwards the better im 68 years old lifetime hammer and was embarrassed

R

roywag42179d ago

Mads Hermansen he's not good enough

R

ray.baxterct1951179d ago

It's a pity Eric Steele couldn't spend an hour or two with him.

I

igrimshaw01180d ago

It was a poor performance all round. Bowen was awful from I was. He frustrates me when he tries to take on defenders when it would be more effective to play others in ⚒️

Open full discussion →

That couldn't have gone much worse! Can you explain what went wrong? 😞

R

ray.baxterct1951179d ago

I've watched some highlights of the NU game, although the camera panned onto Nuno at the crucial throw in.Why we lost 3 goals was down to Mads for 2 and Diouf and Pablo for the 3rd.1st Mads' stupid suicidal pass instead of booting it upfield 2nd Mads was nutmegged after slack defending,3rd throw in to Pablo when 4 opponents are surrounding him.

R

ray.baxterct1951180d ago

Todibo kept going missing and left Mavropanos stranded.It made him look like he was chasing shadows, I think Mavro did a fair job considering we were playing with ten men.Wilson is a 2nd half player, Taty should have started and Pablo should have gone down the pub and watched it on the telly.

R

reubengane5180d ago

Our lights went out on the first day of the league at The Stadium of Light, it was all downhill from then on.

How do you feel about Nuno's team selection vs Newcastle? 🤔

Wilson starts, but five defenders... 💭

I

igrimshaw01181d ago

I really thought he would go for it today. It's fair to say that this pre-dated Nuno. But if we go down, we'll all look back at those frustrating team selections for games we should have won. Not good enough while fighting to avoid relegation

C

chillout181d ago

He doesn’t know how to

J

jonathan.gorrie181d ago

100% agreed. It's not all his fault but I've rarely seen a manager get it so wrong when he's previously been hailed at this kind of thing

C

chillout181d ago

Some of us have seen this movie before

R

ray.baxterct1951180d ago

It's been like a B movie with a lousy script, only there's no happy ending.

J

jakewhu181d ago

Don’t mind. Will be interesting to see if Wilson can perform from the start, especially against his former side. Five at the back will either pay off or be a terrible decision.

J

jonathan.gorrie181d ago

Really not sure about five at the back but that's probably a good thing given my pre-match prediction Wilson wouldn't start 😂

Between 1-10, how would you rate West Ham's survival chances if they beat Newcastle? 😬

7/10. Chelsea ALWAYS beat Spurs at home so it would be infuriating if they don’t this year 🤞

It's not over until the fat lady sings at the moment she's clearing her throat. Keep the faith being a Hammer It's what you do..

I hear Gemma Collins can't make it, she's too stressed from the hardship of not filling her face on "Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here".She can't sing anyway, poor thing!

R

ray.baxterct1951181d ago

If the P G M O L have given her the gig the Ref will shave minutes off added time, if we are in danger of scoring late on.

jonathan.gorrie181d ago

Love it, John! I'm nervous, but I have faith. You got a prediction?

T

tomlynsmith182d ago

7 - however we need Chelsea to take all three points against the Spuds. We need an edge to take us into our final game at home v Leeds. Even a slim advantage is crucial at this stage. It could be a nervy, edgy game for ourselves and north London’s delusionals.

J

jonathan.gorrie182d ago

Feels weird to be supporting Chelsea but yes on Tuesday I'm sure we'll all be Blues 😂 do their recent performances worry you?

C

chillout182d ago

Chelsea has imploded. They won’t turn up against Spurs - Chelsea will make Villa’s performance look good

I'm going for Pablo to start - let me know YOUR thoughts 👇

Off the bench to score late again please 🫡

T

tomlynsmith182d ago

Wilson. More experienced than Pablo. Better equipped to get an early breakthrough than Pablo.

J

jonathan.gorrie182d ago

You're not wrong, but the fact NUFC concede late all the time is something to consider...

C

cumberworth57182d ago

Pablo, in spite of his work rate, I simply not good enough to play in the PL. I don’t agree with starting Wilson, he is only good for 30/35 mins off the bench. I feel we need another body in the middle perhaps Kante for his energy or almost anyone else. Pablo will not be good enough in the Championship!

J

jonathan.gorrie182d ago

Yeah that's another decent shout, I just feel like we should probably play two strikers in a game we have to win! But I do like it, would you push Soucek further up?

R

reubengane5182d ago

You don't keep the best till last you must START Wilson from the start, bring him off if we're leading 3-0 but don't bother when we're 3-0 down, he's the only real goalscorer we've got!

C

chillout182d ago

Yes, he has to play Wilson from the start.

F

freddie182d ago

Wilson doesn't have the legs for that! He's only good against tiring legs in 20 min spells, start Pablo, then bring Wilson on to clinch it

Imagine you're Nuno - what changes are you making ahead of Newcastle? 💭

Back four? Start Wilson? What would you do? 🤔

R

ray.baxterct1951183d ago

His mindset.

J

jonathan.gorrie183d ago

Need to go on the front foot, don't we? Really don't want to see a five at the back formation

R

reubengane5183d ago

We must start with Wilson even more now that Traore's unfit.

I

igrimshaw01183d ago

Pablo on the bench and start Wilson...he's always a danger up front and when Nuno brings him off, bring Traore on out on the right and move Bowen in behind Taty COYI ⚒️

J

jamesshearman23183d ago

I completely agree. Wilson is the best finisher at the club so give him 60+ mins to take a chance
