I note Crystal Palace have got 5 points from last 3 games.....still bottom, but keeping themselves in touch. Not over till it's over.

Spoke to a Hammers fan last night. He reckoned they're doomed. I had to tell him to chin up.
Hammers fan said it was all the fault of the stadium.
Orient supporter came on bemoaning his lot and the Hammers fan said, 'have the stadium.'

They need to get over the staduim hate, after all, 98 years left on the contract. Were I them, I would be focusing on the owners & how they go about their business.
There is only one excuse you can make about that stadium, from a football perspective. Because the sight lines are different to Upton Park it normally takes a bit of adjustment for some players. But that's it. They should now be playing as if they've always played there. Don't know what the fans are moaning about. Great looking venue. Wish we had a stadium like it [not bemoaning St Mary's]
Thing is, WHU have always had a great capacity to end up in the lower part of the table. They're just going through one of those times.
No thanks. Don't really like St Marys but at least it's a purpose built football stadium.
Not really but thanks for trying
I assume you live closer to Swansea ?
Welcome back
Wasn't really trying. Was on a wind up.Not really but thanks for trying
Just saw an interesting video pointing out that any club hiring Allardyce suffers badly after he goes....i.e. the curse of Allardyce. The author suggested that it was down to Sam's preference for long ball, meaning that a subsequent manager struggles to get the team to play in a different style. If so, you can't blame Sam as he is hired to rescue a team from a slide.
I think the fact that you are in such a parlous state that you need Big Sam points to problems already at the club....which is why none of us saw Sam as the answer to our problems. Not desperate enough.

Glad to be back though time is still pretty limited. I missed this place!!
A wind up on a football forum?!Wasn't really trying. Was on a wind up.
Lawro has us beating Cherries 2-0 tomorrow. He also has us at 7th place in his 'expected positions' league table. He thinks we've underperformed but are getting it back. It all sounds terribly reasonable. You'd think he's actually been watching.
