What a mess!

Premier League West Ham United
by lions71 (U12927916) 13 September 2008
comment on the article

On top of the the embarrasing farce that has been played out at Upton Park this week, we now have to face been outplayed and beaten by one of the favourites for relegation. If its not bad enough having to face up to being managed by Chelsea it looks like we will have to suffer another season of underachievement and in the knowledge that we forced out the best manager since Harry.

Think I will find something else to do on a saturday afternoon.

the problem with most supporters, from which ever domain they reign, is one of belief and support through thick and thin, be a fan or don't, swim together sink together, boo Ashley, boo Wise, love your people, love those that love your club, Ashley, for all his hard work and determination, and for his love and years of stealth, support, Newcastle, with all your heart, with all your stealth, support who you love, suppor t people like Ash ley , love th ose that love you y

and there was me thinkin that West Ham was all about exciting football? If 3-2 doesn't do it for you then what will? ok we threw away a lead it ain't the end of the world and after the last few weeks of everything being turned upside down its not really surprising that the concentration is lacking a bit
We have scored 11 goals and conceded 4 in the last 3 games, never happy some people

The only thing that worries me slightly is our inability to win away from home at the moment...We havnt won an away game since Fulham away last season..and i think that was February sometime???? Correct me if im wrong

Stonewall penalty? What match were you watching? Green got his hand to the ball and the striker fell over his arm. West Ham had more than enough chances to win.

It was a penalty mate and, if we're going to get picky, there were 2 fouls in the build up to your second... We deserved the points yesterday just about, it was probably the worst we've played so far this season though... we gave the ball away cheaply at times which is something we hadn't done up until yesterday. It was a decent open game though

Moaning on about penalty decisions doesn't wash with me because the established teams get more then their fair share of decisions! Green made a mistake, he fumbled the ball and grabbed Barnetts legs

I think both teams played some good attacking football. West brom were more honest and wanted tyhe game than West Ham. Quality football from a quality manager. Defensively weak at times but have quality to come back in. Happy Days!!

Typical West Ham.

We win the first game and everyone is positive, lose the second and everyone wants Curbs sacked. Then we win a game and Curbs is the best thing since sliced bread and we're going for Europe. Then we lose a game and everyone's despondent about the future.

Let's just keep schtum for a few more games and give Zola the chance to imprint his style and personality on the players and see where we are after 10 games before we get any more whinging.

BTW - hope Keen stays as Reserves coach as he has an excellent record - look at last year's results and league standing - and has been doing a great job with bringing the youngsters thorugh from the youths to the first team. He MUST be retained.

As already said let's not push the panic buttons yet. It was one defeat at the start of the season, Zola starts today and hopefully Clarke will be joining him. As for the Chelsea link get over it. they are joining West Ham get behind them. As for the penalty on Saturday Green played the ball first and the forward fell over his arm..a bit of a dodgy one to give.

we need to get the defence sorted out when steve clarke comes in asap,its all over the place in the wigan game & blackburn it was the same, the right back & left back area is a big problem any team with some pace on the wings is going to give us a real problem,i really hope Zola works on this before the newcastle game because they have pace on both sides to hurt us. was pleased with de michel he could have and should have scored 2/3 another couple of games and i think he should fit in well.
