Gents,
Gooner here in peace.
I may be an Arsenal supporter but i'm born and raised in West ham/Upton park so still have a soft-spot for you boys, but jeez, what an absolute shambles.
Have always thought fat sam was a decent manager but he hasn't got a clue and you boys are in serious trouble.
I truly wish you all the best for the rest of the season, chin up, keep blowing your bubbles and I sincerely hope you stay in the prem, where you belong.
Good luck.
Cheers mate.
Nice to see someone local on here I'm from romford
Pleasure mate, yep i'm just down the road from you lol

With every West Ham fan in the land weeping in humiliation, joint chairmen and owners David Gold and David Sullivan have offered free seats at Upton Park to everybody wearing a Claret and Blue scarf until the end of the season.
Speaking after the 6-0 reverse at Manchester City, a source close to Mr Gold explained: "We really can't ask the fans to pay to watch this crap any longer. "
"It's bad enough that they have been spending hard earned money watching a team without a forward line, but we felt that £50 per ticket represented reasonable value for as long as we had a defence and six players in midfield; and for as long as those players were playing for the shirt. "
"However, following the debacle at Nottingham Forest and the humiliation at Manchester City, we accept that there is no longer a team to speak of. In fact, eleven concrete bollards would have provided more meaningful opposition for the Forest and City boys than the dejected, gutless rabble that Allardyce sent on to the field. "
"Quite how we were foolish enough to spend £11m on Jarvis, £6m on Maiga, £5m on Downing and £15m on a crocked Carroll is anybody's guess. We trusted the judgement of our manager and that has proved to be very foolish. But we are stuck with him because we can't afford to sack him and no other manager in his right mind would agree to take on the squad that Sam has built. "
"But let's look on the bright side, Princess Brady has been awarded a CBE in the Honours list which tells you something - probably that Cameron supports Spurs!"
"So come along to Upton Park for free and cheer on Princess Brady if nothing else. I'm sure she will do a twirl at half time and may even give the fans a flash of her thigh. And despite the cellulite, even that promises be more exciting than anything our players are likely to do out on the pitch!"

Dear Sam Allardyce,
If you are reading this please be a gentleman and do the decent thing, like a boxer who just can't take any more poundings, just throw the towel in.
Come on Ian Holloway did it for Crystal Palace and they may save themselves. Please Sam for the love of West Ham and all us fans.
Couldn't agree with you more!

After tonight I feel sick, 11 goal past us in two games. Their can only be one way to go Sam OUT. The players look lost under Sam. I know some people have been saying we must stick with him but now anyone can see he has lost the dressing room. Sam said this was one of the biggest games this season well if that is the case what now. We will be down by the end of the month why would any new players want to come and play for us. Harry we need you.
But he rested the players for the match tonight! I was looking forward to the interview with him on Sky.
Q. You rested your players during Sundays 5-0 thrashing and used it as an excuse, so what do you think of tonight performance?

How long do we have to suffer it's beyond a joke and the board need to act rather than sit and hope for the best because BFS has run his course and had to go. The worst thing about this season is that so many of us posted before it had even started that we would end up in a relegation fight and that we needed to add players, did the board and big Sam think it was a case of do the bare minimum and hope for the best because I would love to know what they were thinking it's no way to run our club we've had to put up with so much carp over the years but this hurts more because there seems to be no fight or urgency left in the players.
Gold Sullivan time to act and try to and save our PL status. Chris COYI

Tonight is the first time I would like to see the back of Sam.
Not once did he look bothered that we are getting stuffed.
No pushing the team on.
No show of emotion.
Only a grin in the first half! Must be thinking of his severance cheque.
Bfs knows he will not get sacked
so he don't give a sh##

What is happening to my great club! Players look clueless in the first half. Big SAMs body language absolutely stinks cross armed slouched in his seat. get off your arse and drive the team on. I will support the team through think and thin but this 11at city tonight are poor. We are in big trouble. Time for a new man and direction at our club. This will end up 6 nil.
It's sad to watch.
For all the injuries and low confidence that was the most spineless shameful performance I have ever seen in my life. I feel sorry for you West Ham fans shelling out all that money to watch that. BFS must go NOW, no excuses just pay the fat lump off and hopefully get some decent players in and you may stay up (hopefully). All the best lads!
Paul (Everton fan).

Resign now Sam before the second half starts and let a supporter manage for 45 minutes. Bet we show some kind of spirit. Embarrassed by that team.
