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.
ray.baxterct1951177d ago
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.
come on chillout.
chillout179d ago
Today is the day relegation will be officially confirmed

jamesshearman23179d ago
No faith in Chelsea then?
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?
mitchfarrow57179d ago
Plus 4 mill kin payoff!!
jonathan.gorrie180d ago
That Potter appointment really did throw us off course didn't it?
chillout179d ago

How do YOU feel about Jarrod Bowen as a West Ham United captain....
Clearly a legend but a few dissenting voices 👀

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.
jonathan.gorrie177d ago
Soucek seems a popular choice as skipper! Can't say I disagree!
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 👍
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.

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
chillout180d ago

jonathan.gorrie180d ago
The players should read statements like these. It's the fans left to pick up the pieces as per
chillout180d ago

Bowen's form
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.
chillout180d ago

chillout180d ago
He is not a leader, though
jamesshearman23181d ago
You’re probably not wrong about Taty but I thought he was great today. Scored a screamer and looked lively.
Pablo - terrible
jamesshearman23181d ago
that touch from the throw-in was hideous
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
pranav.shahaney181d ago
Who should the board hire to replace him?
reubengane5181d ago
Either of current Managers of Millwall or Leeds these guys know all about playing and promotion from the Championship 🏆
We lost our place in the premier league before today. We lost it over the past few seasons by poor management B&S who ought to be ashamed of themselves. The reins need to be taken away from Sullivan before he ruins the club completely
westhamunited_uk180d ago
too late for that
jamesshearman23181d ago
You're not wrong there!
Todibo for me i also felt wilson wasnt really at the races today
ray.baxterct1951180d ago
Todibo looked as though he'd been shot with a tranquiliser dart and why wasn't Walker Peters involved?
jonathan.gorrie180d ago
Seems so strange to have dropped KWP after his recent good form.
pranav.shahaney181d ago
Absolutely. Was the right call to take him off in the first half. Reckon he starts against Leeds?
stevenrcollins1180d ago
Hope not mate i honestly think the fellas not right in the head
Hams is hopeless can't wait for him to leave in the summer
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.
stevenrcollins1180d ago
Agree mate
jonathan.gorrie181d ago
Sorry, misread! Yes, Hermansen did not cover himself in glory there. Should he have played Alphonse?
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? 😡

markpainter54176d ago
The results only improved on January 15th when PACO JEMEZ became his No 2 he cannot cope without a No2 its common knowledge ffs
john.gelston530179d ago
Keep him you don't become a bad manager he will right the wrongs anyway west ham cannot afford to let him go
gritzray179d ago
We have already had for the past few years a championship side eg Ward Prowse,Kilman.,Walker Peters.,Traore,.Flyn Downes
Which West Ham player was the most infuriating against Newcastle United?
The Hammers were shambolic at St. James' Park...

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
roywag42179d ago
Mads Hermansen he's not good enough
ray.baxterct1951179d ago
It's a pity Eric Steele couldn't spend an hour or two with him.
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 ⚒️
That couldn't have gone much worse! Can you explain what went wrong? 😞

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.
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.
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... 💭

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
chillout181d ago
He doesn’t know how to
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
chillout181d ago
Some of us have seen this movie before

ray.baxterct1951180d ago
It's been like a B movie with a lousy script, only there's no happy ending.
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.
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 😂
The optimist in me says WHU 2-0, The realist says a draw. The negative head says we have blown it 😢
chillout182d ago
We could win - but we have blown it
chillout181d ago

ray.baxterct1951181d ago
I feel a Red card coming on.
dean-murphy182d ago
I agree. The Wolves, Forest and Brentford games were must wins. Too much too late
chillout181d ago

jonathan.gorrie182d ago
Even the mention of that Wolves game gives me the shivers!
freddie182d ago
You never know what Newcastle will show up this season tho, so always a chance!
chillout181d ago

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

jamesshearman23181d ago
7/10. Chelsea ALWAYS beat Spurs at home so it would be infuriating if they don’t this year 🤞
john.qlink181d ago
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..
ray.baxterct1951181d ago
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!
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.
chillout181d ago

jonathan.gorrie181d ago
Love it, John! I'm nervous, but I have faith. You got a prediction?
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.
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?
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 🫡

tomlynsmith182d ago
Wilson. More experienced than Pablo. Better equipped to get an early breakthrough than Pablo.
jonathan.gorrie182d ago
You're not wrong, but the fact NUFC concede late all the time is something to consider...
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!
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?
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!
chillout182d ago
Yes, he has to play Wilson from the start.
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? 🤔

ray.baxterct1951183d ago
His mindset.
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
reubengane5183d ago
We must start with Wilson even more now that Traore's unfit.
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 ⚒️
jamesshearman23183d ago
I completely agree. Wilson is the best finisher at the club so give him 60+ mins to take a chance
Let us know your prediction for West Ham's trip to Newcastle! 🤞
Our away record has been woeful this season! 😬

garyjessop200182d ago
2-1 West Ham
freddie181d ago
I like the positivity! COYI
dean-murphy182d ago
I’ve said it a few times now and I stick by it. We’ve dropped too many stupid points and not only will we lose today but will go down. But COYI 🤞⚒️❤️
jonathan.gorrie182d ago
Hard to disagree logically but I still believe!
john.gelston530183d ago

Let's hope! Who are you backing to score?
