I had some serious back and forth with him over Lopetegui etc etc…….. although we disagree, 100% he clearly supports West Ham.
Thick cսnt should shange his name to Inspector Clouseau
You say that but he did point out that I must support another club when I showed that Potter is picking up less points per game than Lopetegui 
a lot of people make the common misconception that just anyone can show factual stats, but only those who can think outside the box, know the truth, that stats come from spurs fans

I don’t expect Potter to get backed at all
Sullivans already putting out there that we don’t have much to spend 
and even if he was backed I’m not convinced he’s the answer, I’m seeing the same errors being made that Lopetegui did, we’ve gone into freefall since he took over

No chance. Provided Potter is actually backed in the transfer market in summer.

Is Kudos worth his place in the starting line up ?
He just doesn't seem interested enough to me.

On another note my e-ticket wouldn't scan so had to queue at the ticket office where there was several with similar issues so missed the kick off

A shambles on and off the pitch




 
 
 
Kudus really has to look up and start playing for the team instead of himself when he’s on the ball. Keeps trying to take on too many players and run down blind alleys when a relatively simple pass is on.

That was as bad as anything under Moyes and Loppi.   First half was up there with some of the worst football I’ve seen.  Second half was better but still created little.
that wasn’t far from a full squad.   Sickening given what we have spent. We’ve actually got a worse team than this time last season. 
agree it’s good to have a striker but Ferguson is way off the pace.     Leggy after10 mins. 
Ward Prowse was the only positive to be honest.  Ten times better than the two lampposts and the lightweight Soler.

Maverick, it's what they love. Controlled chaos, just doing enough in the league to stay up and a split fan base. That's their operating model
Not to mention hiding behind his employees and setting them up as his fall guys time after time.

We look better when away as we set up to sit deeper and counter like Brentford did today and Palace a few weeks back. We dont have the squad to play on the front foot, press and play thru the thirds yet

All Moyes’ fault, of course.
I suppose this was an ironic post from you, but you were absolutely spot in.
Add Sullivan and you have today's heritage.
5 years of neglect and mismanagement. Money spent, but mostly on hot piss.

As Goose said, I'm fucking sick of it

Im beginning to think both Soucek and Moyes need replacing. Soler is mot makimg a strong enough to be retained. Fix that area and central defence and things will look a lot better. 
We had one very recently. Sold him for 100 million quid. We in no way replaced him adequately.

Brady was mouthing off in the press before Potter had taken even one game that he could be our manager for the next 10 years.
The one common denominator is those two charlatans. 
yes indeed 100%

First half was Fuckjng awful and we should probably have been out of it by then. Improved second half but by then it was all shithousery by Brentford to waste time get under our skin and make it an ugly game. 

Thank fuck we have a centre forward because that helped immensely. Agree on Kudus. He has become a greedy liability. Needs to look up and pass far more than he does. So many misplaced passes from everyone and slower to every contested or second ball. 

What I will say is annoyingly Brentford played a perfect away game. They pressed insanely aggressively and insanely well in the first half and we couldn’t get through it at all. We need to be so much better at that. They couldn’t keep it up all game and indeed they just sat back and played the cսnt until the last 5 mins when they pressed again. They also attacked very quickly and overloaded a bunch when there was an opportunity. Quite how noone has poached a couple of their players I don’t know. 
However, the officials were dreadful. Let them get away with murder and fouling our players all afternoon and have them a free kick e wry time they flopped to the ground. Absolutely shocking refereeing. They were also very lucky with the run of the green. So many times the ball just ricocheted or bounced perfectly for them. Maybe they earned that luck by being aggressive but it became very annoying. 

Very disappointing from us and a lot of work still to do but I have to reluctantly give Brentford a lot of credit. They played really well all game. Aggressive in the first half and shithousery in the second half. We were far too soft and got bullied by them
