Anyone hoping for a battering tomorrow night so that the board finally sack BFS?
I must be mad if i'm thinki9ng that!

anyway COYI'SSS



Regardless of the score tomorrow they will not get rid of Sam. I for one would love to see Malkey at West Ham instead of Sam bit it is too late now we will go down



I was at the Cardiff game and was amazed by the City fans who said Malky had to go! poor transfer business and even worse negative football

Why do people keep posting nonsense, lescott could probably have his pick of half the premier league and walk straight into the side! Why is he going to come to the irons, a struggling team that plays negative football! This coming from a west ham season ticket holder. Get malky in and play positive and we might just be alright with players we have. COYI



It's the wages mate. Other top teams have a first class defence. Only those struggling near the bottom of the league need defenders and can guarantee him weekly football. He will always insist on a get out clause should we be relegated.

I think I speak for the majority of hammers fans when I say that Allardyce has had his last throw of the dice as far as we are concerned. He has to go

Is it time for Sam Allardyce to go?

Game after game it appears the Hammers are getting worse and by doing so are dropping lower into the relegation zone. As things don't seem to be getting any better for them it seems that the only place they will be heading is down to the Championship if things are not changed and their season does not start picking up.

Allardyce BELIEVES he has the backing of the board and also the fans but this supposed backing from the fans is hard to believe as no fan wants to see their team -who were always consistent and capable of making the top 10 in the Premier League year after year- drop in to the relegation zone and constantly lose games that they should be winning.

West Ham as a club are disappearing immensely and their season became even more embarrassing which each passing week. They were thrashed 5-0 by Championship side Nottingham Forest and knocked out of the FA Cup and then they were hammered 6-0 by Manchester City, along with many other losses during the season.

Within three days they conceded 11 goals and didn't manage to score one goal, despite beating a very poor Cardiff City 2-0 on January 11, seven days later they were back to losing ways, losing 3-1 at home to Newcastle.

Allardyce claims that a long list of key players' injuries have not helped in their cause to remain above the relegation zone, however every team in the league has injury problems but they learn to work as a team with the players they have available as and when they can play (and let's not forget it was he who recruited this current squad).

After the win against Cardiff, Allardyce stated that he had the support of owners David Gold and David Sullivan, but it remains to be seen how far their support will go. It appears that the fans have had enough and it will not be long before attendances start to drop heavily. It seems however that the board refuse to listen and act NOW.

If the club fail to turn their fortunes around then not only does it look like they are resigned to the Championship for next season and a local DERBY match at the Olympic stadium with Orient, but Big Sam could quite easily be out of a job as well.



Are you kidding me mate?!
You said west ham have been consistent and capable on top 10.
Did you miss all of our relegation battles and actual relegation over the years or are you only 6 years old?
What a stupid unfounded comment.
You are a typical armchair manager who knows little to nothing about football. I have supported West Ham for 40 years and they have NEVER been consistent.

Sorry to admit that I think we need to start off loading our s**** old over paid non performers for life in the championship the next few years. Club needs an entire over haul starting with the chuckle brothers.

We need owners that have the balls to make big decisions and get rid of managers when they are quite clearly not performing.


Yeah sure, so we got a few injuries but SAM assembled this squad and squandered all his budget on an injured Carroll when he could easily have bought 2 or 3 players with the same budget.

No excuses, he has failed from the Summer transfer market onwards and now we can only get strikers who want a big pay day to play second fiddle to JESUS

Why have West Ham turned down Lacina Traore due to "fitness issues and a potential Hamstring Injury" and yet Everton almost clinched a deal to sign him?

Absolutely ridiculous. Gold and Sullivan need to stop chasing players and then pulling out of the deal when it looks likely to happen.
