another great result for west ham on saturday. another step to the trap door where you belong. big club ha ha from the spudman
Hope you enjoy all your toys on Christmas morning mate.
Oh, and enjoy the OS next season when your playing Orient because you know as well as I do that you are going DOWN.
Oh yeah, finally. I hear West ham are in talks with Asamoah Gyan and Obafemi Martins (what a joke) and they going to save your season?? Think not. You club is a joke and so are the transfer dealings
SPUDMAN
Spudman. I think I speak for all Hammers fans when I say we wish you and your club a lifetime of poo filled bagels and an outbreak of horrendous piles and herpes
On the bright side we have spurs second to last game of the season so if we need 3 points to stay up it shouldn't be a problem LOL
If you're a naughty boy, Santa won't visit. You've been told.

Obafemi Martins did little to defuse speculation he is speaking to West Ham after arriving in London ahead of talks at the weekend. The Seattle Sounders striker is discussing his next move but Sam Allardyce's side are not the only club in town.
Martins was photographed with Koray Deniz, who helps recruit for Turkish club Rizespor, who was not shy in posting the fact on his Twitter account, complete with pictures of the two enjoying breakfast at the Savoy.
Martins has scored eight goals in the MLS so far this campaign and is looking for a loan deal during the off-season.
Caykur Rizespor are 13th in the Turkish League and are keen to sign the Nigerian, but they are not the only Turkish side interested, with Genclerbirligi also keen to speak to him.
He was due to hold talks with West Ham last night, although Allardyce is weighing up options.
He wants two strikers on loan (No Money all gone on Carroll and Downing) and Inter Milan's striker Ishak Belfodil is the latest name to be considered.
The 21-year-old Algerian is 6ft 3in tall and joined Inter from Parma last summer in a deal involving Antonio Cassano going the other way.
Newcastle and Fulham have also shown interest and Inter will allow him to leave on loan in January.
Allardyce remains keen on Everton's Nikica Jelavic also but, that hinges on Everton recruiting a replacement and they are looking at Icelandic striker Alfred Finbogsson (who West ham were once linked with)
Crystal Palace are also among clubs to have asked about Jelavic.
West Ham also want a centre-back on loan and they have agreed a deal with Peterborough for 18-year-old striker Jaanai Gordon-Hutton who has impressed on trial.
Typical West ham, More cheap loan options that don't really want to play for them. Didn't they learn that lesson when they aquired Robbie Keane and he gladly helped send them down. Taking the above into consideration, I think we can safely say that it illustrates the West Ham ambition this year and I think I can also safely say that they will be relegated at the end of the season
One good thing is that Allardyce will finally be sacked and majority of the squad will be sold. West ham will be back where they belong under this Manager

I hear on the grapevine that SAM ALLARDYCE is targetting one of the following to provide much needed firepower
Cavani
Falcao
Suarez
Lewandowski
Oooooops, maybe he will settle for Jelavic who scored loads NOT

Just when things couldnlt get any worse in the west ham season James Tomkins arrested and the premier league striker we were in talks with scored twice yesterday. Yep, Adebayor. The likelyhood of obtaining him on loan now is extremely remote.
Sam could get eith Obafemi Martins or Diego Forlan on loan but I'm sure in true West ham fashion we will get some donkey who is past it, probably from Bolton
Tomkins needs to go he's a disgrace. He is to slow for the premier league and at best a reasonable championship defender as is Collins. Keep Reid, go get Samba and Heitinga and that's some CB formation. Bring in young Potts, Spence and Rat and get rid of Nolan, Noble and the other deadwood. 3 midfielders in Morrison, DOwning and Jarvis and RHodes and Adebayor up front. That might not be the best formation but by god, its better than the crap we have now.
Its an absolute Sham and a Mickey take.
There is no money AGAIN. I can guarantee all Allardyce will have his eye on bargain basement loan signings
