Match of the Day Post-Match interview:

Potter:

"As much as I would like to take full responsibility for today's drubbing *wobbles head side to side-sucking teeth*, I am in fact going to have to point out that on the Team Bus up here Fullkrug read out to everyone a prediction on WHO from his phone by a Nurse Ratched. She claimed that we would win handsomely ourselves and that's why everyone got overconfident. And if you want me to swear, I can swear.." As Potter then abruptly chuck his headphones on the floor and walks off screen, on his back you can see someone had placed a Post-it note that read - COCK PISS OUT

Kelly Cates:

"I do apologise for anyone who might have taken offence with what they just witnessed, normally Coachs manage to keep it together."
 
 

Nurse Ratched is going to get it in the neck on Match of the Day later after this interview. Please don't threaten to swear this time, Partridge.. 😬

The league table has already adopted the traditional "Christmas is not far off" state.

As bad we may be, you probably need to recognise the fact that we're up against the team who will likely end up finishing bottom of the league. A team who lost ALL of their last 5 league matches and scraped to the playoffs with the lowest ever total goals scored by a promoted team, who then sold their best player and bought a bunch of mainly inexperienced youngsters.

If we can't go into this one at least a little bit hopeful then we might as well give up altogether.
 
 
I accept your apology in advance.

Hermansen proving he isn’t an upgrade on Areola, just as I said.

Kilman again looking like the worst CB in PL history.

First 6 pointer lost.

Sold our best player to not improve a single area. Might as well cash in on Paqueta and prepare for the championship.

He needs to be sacked before the end of the fucking DAY.

Get a midfielder in or get relegated.

That was shocking, unspeakably so.

This has gone even worse than I expected  im sad to say.

Midfield massive issues and CBs who cannot compete aerially is a bad combination.

A manager trying to implement a Pep system that Man City play but with a squad not fit to do it. Two problems with it, its an outdated system that has been found out by teams that pack defence and play on the counter.  

You need speed and we are slower than everyone all over the pitch.  

This season has relegation stamped all over it.  We look worse than we finished last season. 

Potter will do well to kast until xmas as we have 3 very hard games coming up.

Only crumb of comfort is that this early warning sign might scare the crap out of Sullivan enough to spend on 2 young pacy midfielders and a CB. But then again its Sullivan.

I am usually optimistic about West Ham's fortunes but have abandoned all hope for this season after todays evidence. We are well and truly up shit creek with no means of propulsion. Kilman could be the most disastrous signing in the last 25 years a fucking liability. Fuck it all, and fuck West Ham, I'm going to take up watching synchronised swimming.

I cant believe he's straight into the team, thought he'd be phased in - cups etc. what an absolute dickhead decision to throw away our preseason work.

 Still our problems are bigger than mad mads.

Cock piss out

This keeper you can see why he was a more important addition than some legs in midfield

Not seen the game (lucky!) but smashed by the overwhelming favourites to finish last
We will be challenging that placing. We are there now 
JWP & Rodriguez selection as a central midfield pair is a managerial suicide note
