Just watched the Irons play Swansea...
Without a doubt one of the most appalling games I have ever seen as a Hammers supporter.
The entire match I was hollering abuse to 11 half arsed players who were second to every ball, created little to nothing apart from a few set pieces and were torn apart by a club that had the spirit and determination I wish the Irons had !
Fat arse Sam slouched down in his chair throughout the game ...GET OFF YOUR ARSE SAM AND GET YOUR PLAYERS FIRED UP !!!
Matt Jarvis had a decent 10 minutes and then disappeared out of the game. Diarra came on and "walked" all over the pitch. A great advert as to the type of effort we can expect from him this season.
Jussi looked uncomfortable and nervous throught the game as did the entire West Hma back line. Who were we playing ? Real Madrid ?!
Even as a Hammers supporter of over 35 years...I find it hard to be able to show any pride in the tema we had on the pitch. No possession, no heart, no backbone and no idea !!
Sam - either get your players fired up or take your fat arse down to the Blue Square conference !!
Mark Noble and Vaz Te were the only ones who showed a little bit of fight.
The players Sam took off ( Cole and Diame ) we the only ones actually trying when they were on. Diarra was complete rubbishe !! No wonder they let him go so cheap !!

A totally hacked off and fire breathing Hammer here. The players may have well have used their shirts as toilet paper. They showed so little respect for the shirt, their fans and the club by putting in that performance that for all I care, the club could sell all the players, sack Sam and start from scratch and I would be happier !



At the end of the day it is only one game and I agree with some of your comments it was a strange game to watch. You cannot give any team a two goal lead.We will finish higher than swansea this year Iam convinced of this.



Mon gets aj for 9m we pay 10.7m for jarvis eh?



This is what you get when you pick the wrong team from the start (tomkins is still learning his job at the back ,don't play him i the midfield). Nolan is way off the pace, Noble has never been that fast, Diame has the engine but didn't get any help.Demel proberly had he's best game but that ain't saying much.Cole got no service ,but he now looks for the free kick instead of having a go at the keeper when he doe's get the ball.Linda is a weak link...not a premiership defender.Add to that the 2 howlers and it was a nightmare to watch(both Jussi & ginge won't make a habit of doing that....i hope).The thing that got me the most was at about the 25-30 minute mark your thinking ....."ok we're 2-0 down, Sam change it up........NOTHING"!!.This lack of thinking is what i think is gonna cost us this season......that and the fact that BFS has come out and said we won't be doing any more deals.( i think we need LB.CB. PLUS A CREATIVE MID AND A OUT AND OUT GOALSCORER.......not a happy hammer.

I'm currently watching Swansea v West Ham and Carlton Cole is dire. Hammers have got to get rid of him because he's not permiership quality striker and sooner the better. Rumour is West Ham are gonna pay Reading £5m to get rid of him {Ed039's Note - I live in Scotland, but I am a Hammers fan before anyone asks, but I have always said Cole is an over rated dud, even when he was younger and played elsewhere)



I watched part of the game found my self getting really angry then had to turn the game over there was not enough effort from the team full stop watching swansea pop the ball about and west ham chasing shadows couple of half chances really dont want to go on neg one but they must improve or get sam a taxi and bring arry in ..
we can suffer l/b football but only if you win



So what wrong with cole?? We didnt come close to scoring with out him and the only time we did was when he was on. On top of that how can u score with very limited supply from the midfield. best striker on our team. and cole got us. not vaz te. goal and assist vaz te just finished off coles die hard effort!! with out him we are as good as relegated. {Ed039's Note - Its my opinion and that is yours, I am not gonna dispute he works his socks off, but as a centre forward I always thought he lacked something)

HA HA...Outclassed....we're goin back down



2 silly errors and several missed chances

game could have gone either way

jarvis and diame looked very impressive

vaz te and modiga both look better than cole

hammers look in pretty good shape



Pretty good shape for what



To stay in the prem

it is easy to rant when we lose and praise when we win

football games are often won by the smallest of margins

sams buys look good value except i agree diarra who did look awful
i hope he is just rusty
