I do wonder how they managed to spend so much converting the Taxpayers Arena. And it doesn't look much different to what it did before, plus when the athletics is on the public pay again to change it back. I would be really interested in a proper analysis of where the money was spent, particularly because complete stadiums seem to have been built for less! For example the entire Millennium Stadium cost £191 million!!!!

Send your complaints to Seb Coe, but thank him at the same time, as without it you wouldn't have been given a tonne of taxpayers money either.

I hope not, I want to see a team that has a chance, I don't think we're in that much danger of relegation now as our performances have improved massively since Moyes arrived, the players actually seem to give a **** now. Wouldn't mind a mix up of youth and first teamers, I'd like to see Haksabanovic and Martinez given game time, as for Hart, every West Ham fan has known who our best Goalie has been since August '13.

Moyes is talking about making a couple of changes, so he might be more interested than I expect him to be.
He could see it as a double opportunity, both in maintaining momentum and having a shot at silverware.
It would be uncharacteristic for someone that's usual very cautious, but perhaps his bad experiences over the past few seasons have had an influence?

Why do you think Moyes gets clearly more energy out of your team than Bilic could. I'm sure Bilic would not have said, slow everything, make sure you walk back to position etc, but it's like a different team. I'm not buying Moyes is a tactical mastermind, so I need something else to understand it.

Bilic was too soft on the players and let them get away with far too much, people turning up late for training and not putting in a shift, but still getting picked. That pisses people off who are putting in the shift and they soon follow suit, and I think that caused players to lose respect and faith in him. Moyes is a task-master, I said at the time of his appointment that he was exactly the type of manager we needed, someone to kick the pricks up the arse and make them run and put in effort, rather than the apathetic displays of the last year or so. The effect was almost immediately noticeable, we started running, rather than ambling back, we seem more co-ordinated and the renewed effort on the pitch has changed the atmosphere in the ground,m which was becoming quite toxic. He's also got more nous than Bilic, who was a lovely guy, but a bad club manager. We have a far better squad than our last couple of seasons results have shown.

Reece Oxford, the jewel in the crown of West Ham's famed Academy [despite being one of ours], has been flogged to Red Bull Leipzig for an up-front £8m.

That should keep Andy Carroll in beer, tabs and pain killers for a few weeks.
