    Oh no they are in poor form that's for sure. But they are only there for the taking if your own club isn't a shambles from top to bottom!

    Well thank **** for that , they are there for the taking for us then.<ok>
    Just like you's were there for the taking, 2nd half, before our mad Malian unfortunately got himself sent off! We have a good side and are playing well, the results will come, and I still think we'll finish above Wet Spam.

    :biggrin: Wet Spam! I bet your one of those blokes that call Man U "manure" or Tottenham "tottscum" aren't you!

    You were our easiest win of the season. We should have been out of sight by the time you got your red card. Southampton put up much more fight that you last week and were unlucky to lose by 3 in the end.

    Do you think you are being well run at the moment then? Your chairman only made do with you because he lost his first choice to Gold and Sullivan. You have a massive squad full of old men on massive wages. I would call that pretty shambolic.

    But hey at least you seem happy!

    West ham what an amazing club. Talk about short term ism. Supposed to be a place of beautiful football sacrificed at the alter of sam allardyces offerings of route one rubbish. Enjoy.

    I think that this one may throw up a strange result.
    Arsenal playing very poor recently QPR could role them over, Result Arsenal 0 QPR 3
    Or arsenal have been given a right rocket up there A..e, and excel themselves. result Arsenal 4 QPR 2
    Whatever it wont be the odd goal or a draw.

    Isn't it funny? All that route one rubbish, and yet we still managed to match you for possession. Play just 17 passes less than you. Make more crosses than you. Beat you on territory. Have more total shots than you.

    And most importantly. Have a better pass success rate than you. Not bad considering all we do is hoof it!

    Eeerrrrm. Hold on I didn't at any point say we were any good and against you we were awful. I'm just sting loudly and fairly clearly I don't believe that sam allardyce and his ways fit the tradition of football at West Ham. Is short term gain worthy of sacrificing a legacy? Your choice your problem not mine.

    To be fair, they don't just hoof it. They hoof it, win the second ball and then get a cross in.

    How are we sacrificing a legacy exactly? A few seasons of physical football to consolidate our position in the premiership certainly isn't going to undo 100 years of history.

    And the football under Allardyce is the best I've seen since the Pardew years.

    It's very easy to label us long ball because of who our manager is. But if you actually watch us, there are plenty of nice passing moves mixed in.

    I have been watching tippy tappy, sideways football for years. It's refreshing to have seen us toughen up, add another dimension and stop rolling over for teams.

    No doubt Allardyce will move in in a few years, having built some very solid team foundations for a younger, more attacking manager to take over.

    The football now is decent. We are organised and physical. And we have a good, well managed squad of professionals who play for each other and their manager.

    I'm loving every minute of it!

    As opposed to QPR who are a long established premier league side!

    Maybe shambles is a bit strong. You are certainly a bit of a mess though. Reminds me of us during the Icelandic years. Desperately signing any old player no matter what the wages.

    We are doing a bit better than ok to be fair. There is a very real possibility that we will be 14 points clear of you this time tomorrow.

    At least Tony the Hammer will be pleased (secretly of course)

    Hold your horses sunshine, I seem to remember us being in the same situation as you find yourselves at this moment last season.
    Being a smart arse never works and I'll take great pleasure in reminding you of your comments in May.
