Well in the post-Christmas haze, we gear up for a game that is absolutely massive.

The first of a run of 6 matches that will determine if we're in the fight to stay up, or prepping for the Championship, West Ham host Fulham in what really is a must win.

Whilst the visitors have had a poor start to the season, they're an established side that know what they're doing, have a manager who has firmly embedded his way of playing on the Club with an enviable attacking outlook, and they played us off the park in recent times.

West Ham no longer have Fullkrug for a selection option with his deal to Milan sewn up. Diouf and Wan Bissaka remains away at AFCON, but other than that there are no lingering injuries or selection issues, although Scarles was withdrawn in precaution in the last game.

Predicted LineUp.Subs:Hermansen, Myers, Kilman, Potts, Rodriguez, Irving, Soucek, Earthy, Marshall

Predicted Result:

West Ham 2 - 1 Fulham
(Bowen, Paqueta pen)

A win feels a long time ago, and I don't expect this to be a pretty performance but more in hope than expectation think we'll scrape this over the line....more because of how desperately we need it. 

COYI.

another home game without a striker, the bloke is a cսnt

What a fucking cսnt.
He deserves to get beat.

To be fair against a much better team in Villa we started off set up the same and created enough and scored twice... So hopefully we can put in a similar performance but take the points this time.

But if your French is as naff as mine, can't you just tune in on your mobile to any network back here? 

    

Unbelievable, no striker at home, against Fulham, unbelievable

You know the manager has given up when he keep in relying on Kilman and Paqueta 

West Ham United: Areola, Walker-Peters, Kilman, Todibo, Scarles, Potts, Magassa, Fernandes, Paquetá, Summerville, Bowen © Subs: Hermansen (GK), Mavropanos, Golambeckis, Mayers, Rodríguez, Kanté, Souček, Earthy, Wilson:
 Referee: Chris Kavanagh

Things that are guaranteed -

1) Fulham fans sing “ sold your souls for this shit hole “

2 ) Win, lose or draw Nuno will still get hammered.

1-1

I'm more concerned that Kilman starts again.

Not got much optimism left for us.   Think we are nailed on going down.

If we lose after picking that team the cսnt should be sacked

If we start this game with no striker then we deserve to get beat.
Must win game and we set up like that?

I hope that line up is wrong, if not Nuno can fuck right off.

Twist or stick with the manager?. If we dont see any wins in the next few then no choice but twist on the basis that you’d always say “what if” but its all desperate stuff. The root problem is the cummulative effect of disasterous, incompetent, aimless recruitment where we have limped along with a slow aging squad for too long only left it too late to wake up and start recruiting younger players. Tye complete absence of any long term plan in the last 15 years, other than trying to increase the share value for the owners, means its literally been an unconnected, “Frankenstein’s monster” of a squad where 5-10 people have identified and picked players. Like puttng a car together from different manufactures parts and wondering why its last in the race.

If true then Wilson 100% got caught rumping his bird inbetween the Stairmaster machine and yoga mats in the Portkabin gym that's sponsored by Sports Direct.

No striker at home against Fulham. If true, he should be sacked immediately. No doubt Nuno still thinks a draw is a good result. It fucking well isn't. We need 9 wins from 19 games to stand a chance and there's fuck all chance of that happening as we will throw the games v Spurs, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Arsenal and probably Sunderland which means we need to win every other game. As I said no chance, unfortunately.

Unchanged? So no striker on the pitch in a home game against a bearable opposition.

That would sum up the Portuguese bus parker negative Nuno to a tee.

Read that we're going to be unchanged, I don't have a problem with that If we play how we did in the second half spell against City before they scored their third, if we start off as we did it's fucking shit.

Yep, thanks to Crackhead our goal difference has worsened to around double it was before he arrived. It effectively means it's another point on the board we have to overcome, as he isn't going to claw that back easily especially with his overly defensive tactics - that still concede 3 goals a game in the previous 2 anyway.
