I’d better vacate this thread, as I don’t want to be only criticising Kilman. Because we are 100% circus amateurish, we have signed many other expensive wastes of space: Todibo, Fullkrug, JWP, Guilherme, Rodriguez (wages alone), Hermansen. It’s a long, long list of utter drivel. And it stems from th...

Fucking hell. 

There’s so much to say about the Kilman deal that epitomises how badly run we are as a supposed professional football club. Of the hundreds of things you could pick…I’d genuinely like to know if we scouted him at all. Or whether we just relied on Lopetegui’s recommendation? Because if we did rely on...

I do feel that all of this is like moving deckchairs on the Titanic, though.

This just looks like a relegation squad right now.

Play your best players in their best positions and try to get some momentum/confidence.

Early days, and we’ll have to see how Mav’s injury goes. But I’d be half-tempted to have a look at Magassa as a CB for a couple of stiffs games. He’s played there before (so it’s not an OIlie Scarles situation), but I’ve no idea how well. He can definitely play CM and CB, but to what level? We are s...

Square pegs in round holes with no injures to use as an excuse for doing any of it. Scarles at Right Back when he had either Wan-Bissaka and Walker-Peters available. Walker-Peters at Left Back when he had either Diouf and Scarles available. Paqueta up front when he had either Wilson and Marshall av...

Dyche has a good chance of keeping Forest up. He’s not a great manager and I didn’t want him here. But he’s the sort of boss who will do well at certain clubs, and I think he’s got what is needed for that version of Forest. He’ll probably get a tune out of Wood. He won’t take any shit from that fat ...

First time in his entire career at any level that Scarles has played right back. Team selection and tactics were absolute aids and then the substitutions equally as pointless. Don't even watch games anymore, but the 500 angry WhatsApp messages told me all I needed to know 😂 I really felt for Scarle...

When he leaves West Ham, in around 2031, it should become a local bank holiday.

Like Independence Day.

He can’t run. He can’t tackle. He can’t head. He can’t jump. He can’t mark space. He can’t man mark. He’s painfully slow. He turns like an oil tanker. He has no awareness. He’s not strong for his size. He’s not brave. He has no leadership. He’s not a threat at set pieces. Except to our own team. He’...

Watching both West Ham and the Jets right now is like hammering giant nails into your own eyes - twice every weekend. 

There’s just no escape from relentless misery. This could be the longest season in all of sport.

The whisky stock must be high.

 

The only redeeming thing about our nailed on relegation is that Sullivan’s ludicrous valuation of the club will plummet massively.

Nobody’s paying £800m for us in the Premier League. I doubt they’ll even pay £500m for us in the championship.

Nice to see Carragher dribbling all over Sullivan.

  Nonsense - he may not have been here long, but he absolutely WAS at fault as much as the players tonight. He made five or six utterly batshit decisions. Every Premier League side was hampered by the international break. Including Brentford. And we made them look like Pep’s famous Barcelona side. ...

He’ll never admit it, because managers never do, but Nuno knows he fucked up royally with that tricksy, batshit starting line up. That's why he wasted three half-time substitutions unpicking his own mess. Off came Scarles, off came KWP, on came Mavrapanos (who, incredibly, is our best centre half be...

Among the 400 million things that were truly abysmal tonight, it also really showed that we are a physically weak team. Brentford are a big side. But they are also really well conditioned and looked as fit as fiddles. Contrast that with our physically weak mob like Walker-Peters (tossed around like ...

Avram Grant’s team was worse. Don’t blame Nuno, he has just arrived. Blame a series of bad transfer decisions. Blame the majority of a squad that don’t seem to care. Blame an absence of decent centre backs. You can’t ignore that most other teams supporters blame West Ham’s fans for getting rid of D...

I said we’d be relegated before the season started.

I think it’s nailed on now. Bowen aside, nothing about West Ham says Premier League right now.

Shambolic club.

So fucking glad I swerved that. Not that I watched a minute of it, but the posts on here tell me everything I need to know. What a fucking mess this club is.  Trust me, it was worse than you could imagine it was.  It was. Indescribably bad. Take all the worst comments from on here tonight, multiply...

someone upset a gypsy over in prague i reckon 

Kilman, Todibo, Walker-Peters (as a left back), Irving, Scarles, Marshall, Rodriguez…all Championship players, I’m afraid. The two youngsters have an excuse: they’re young and should improve. KWP was out of his best position (but he’s physically so weak). The others should hang their heads in shame,...
