2/18 points, no striker .....All Season, only had one anyway and Sam builds his WHOLE game plan around an injury prone single striker with no cover at the same time he spends A lot of money on Downing, when we already had that place covered. I was pragmatic enough for a while to accept BFS and his dogs shit football as a way of assuring our financial safety, he Isn,t even delivering that. His plan b, striker less football, was Sussed out after Tottenham. We have not beaten west Brom, palace, Norwich, Stoke, hull, Aston villa. I am joining the romantics I,d rather we went down with our traditions than this vastly overpaid (15th best in the world) fat sack excuse making dogsh1t of a man...I don,t think he,ll keep us up anyway.

Stay clear of other peoples business might be a good motto at the moment.

The ????s are not happy hammers.

Remember too he was lucky to get us up via the play offs from the championship- he had the biggest budget and best squad by MILEs. Talks a good game does the walrus, should have stayed with a smaller team.....namely Bolton, been found out since then

I have no issues whatsoever with West Ham, which makes this difficult because I love seeing BFS lose.

Hope they sack him ASAP.

[maxxi]

BFS's excuses Saturday - not enough strike power.. not enough central defenders... Christmas fixture congestion tiring players out... bad luck... lack of concentration... complacency... NOT MY FAULT.

Latest wheeze is the shedding of Mladen Petric (brought in on a free as a striker while Carroll was unavailable)

In October, Petric said: "I'm a striker. I want to play and I'm sure I'll get my time on the pitch."

Three substitute appearances and no goals later he's gone. No great loss so what the fuck was he doing there in the first place??

Sadly I fear our chairpeople lack the courage to act decisively and sack him, they'd rather cringe behind their wallets and hope for the best.

Oh Sami Nasri, as if if we didn't know already, what a bell end you are. Posing in your designer gear doing the quenelle 'against the system'...right on brother

[Jah Lush]

Just goes to show that in general footballers are still idiots.

[red devil]

I think Anelka is actually quite intelligent and articulate, which makes his use of the quenelle more disturbing...

[Jah Lush]

Charlie Adam has got away with another horror tackle on one of our players. Paulinho out for at least four weeks after he racked his studs down his ankle ligaments. Dirty bastard.

['bout now]

What ????'s said x 100

Fuck him, hello championship.

[red devil]

Careful what you wish for Hammers fans... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25559504

Yup, you and maxxi were right on this all along, I was wrong

[El Pibe]

Great 70s style muddy footie at the temple of evil that is Kenilworth Road on BT.

[maxxi]

Kenilworth Rd... mud... Steve Foster in a headband... shudder...

[Alan Medic]

Last and only time I was there they had a plastic pitch and stopped Man U starting their season with a record number of consecutive wins by drawing. Mid-eighties?

[maxxi]

Nolan has been out of sorts and looking narked and niggled for a while now - looks like frustration finally boiled over.

[maxxi]

This must be the end. Never mind 8 mill for Lambert - use the money to pay off BigUselessSam and let's start again.

Agreed, add Eto'o and Ramires to the list of dirty bastards who seem to get away with it week in week out. The odious BFS must go surely.

Has he gone yet? Most fans lost faith a few weeks back, I think he's lost the players too.....only the board to convince

[Parkdrive]

David Moist succeeding in keeping Everton above Yanited. Well done.

And after today he can take Nolan with him - he's been getting worse by the week as a player and a Captain and today was the last straw, banned for 3 weeks now the petulant git.

[Jah Lush]

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to see Tottenham win away.

[malumbu]

I've been to three matches over the festive season, and seen a few more over the last few weeks on telly. Some real crackers but the two stinkers were the Arse/Chel (on telly) and today Arse/Cardiff, as well as getting wet as the roof is rubbish.

Is the quality of the Arse overated? or was that just an anomoly, perhaps in part due to the weather which was awful on both days

A second Arse question is as there are always thousands of empty (paid for tickets), a waiting list for season tickets, and they can in theory attract more than the ?60k capacity, why don't those not attending because they can't be arsed to leave their mansion in Herts to see a less attractive match on a rainy day, pass on their ticket to someone who does want to make the effort. I am not talking full price on Seatwave I hasten to add -better is used than wasted.

Oh and a fun anacdote now I will no longer be suprised by the ManU score as I was trying to watch it 'live' on MOTD, at WHL the only cheer on Boxing Day from the Spuds was when it was announced that WHU had gone one-nil up. Funnily enough they didn't announce 1-1, 1-2, 1-3. All credit to the Bluebird fans today for the noise they made BTW.

[Mick Mac]

Agreed. Arsenal should do something about this. In a season with the potential to win the title, wealthy disinterested supporters denying fans the right to see their team is just wrong.
