Whatever this club has achieved in the last 16 years it is despite the apprentice not becaus of her.
The fans, players and managers should be applauded not the leeches who have sucked the club dry.

So things have started moving with Brady and Nathan Thompson gone today, with Andy Mollett stepping down at the end of the season. It also appears that Kretinsky has bought enough of the Gold shares to become Joint Chairman.

I just hope Sullivan Jnr doesn't get a more prominent position at the club!
I'm really undecided about DK. He is less odious than the Baroness and less meddling than Sullivan, but he has shown no interest in West Ham as a project, and is only interested in a return on his investment.

Since his involvement in Sparta Prague, they have gone from the main Czech club to second to their rivals, Slavia Prague.

Kretinsky is nothing more than a professional investor. He has no love for the club. Nothing further than his investment and what profit is in it for him.

Regardless, cutting her wages of the bill has to be seen as a positive.

Well Brady’s has gone, she won’t be missed, been on the cards for a long time.

If we stay up, points to a DOF coming in? She has no shareholdings as such, so no changes there.

Her interference and insistence appointing the useless Potter got us into this position today.



She alone changed the course and path of WH, much for the worse.

Sullivan was a weekend away from appointing Max Allegri, enough said, I’ve explained all that before.

Goodbye and good riddance to Brady.

Joyfull.

Can we organise a leaving do? But just don't invite her to the party.

The timing is quite weird. You would think it would be a case of leaving at the end of the season, not with only 5 games to go. Unless she is worried that if we get relegated, she can distance herself from it. And, as you say, some of her choices are the reason we are in such a dire situation.

In true West Ham fashion, a glorious chance missed. Bowen was tragic. Why wasn't he off at half time? Early on an easy ball through to taty would have put him away but he messed up time and time again.

Entire performance was flat and chance to win against what was an average Palace team squandered which may come back to haunt us.

Totally agree, Mac. Bowen was dreadful. But, in fairness, all the front 4 didn't gel with their passing. Tatty was the best of a bad bunch. We have got so few options on the bench. One player who has played well of late who wasn't used was Adama, and I think Bowen should have been hooked for him.

I think taking him off might actually reenergise him, as he would have a point to prove in the next game.

Spot on, Mac. A chance missed against a below par and disorganised Palace. Got to be considered a lucky point, but for our domination in the first half. Maybe if Wilson had started, we could have finished our chances, but Nuno is convinced he can only be used after we've pulled up the drawbridge.

I fear for our survival with this manager who has no ambition, guts or tactical skill. Mind you, he waffles well.

No real quality on show in the final third. We battled, but feels like another opportunity missed, with Spurs dropping points. Wolves relegated now, so Spurs will definitely fancy that now.

0


20 Apr 2026 21:59:12
That’s how it’s going to be, we played well enough but lack of firepower up front.

Let’s move on.

We can't rely on Pablo for goals. He'll never score as long as he has a hole in his bum. To be honest, as I've said before, I think he's a waste of a shirt.

0


21 Apr 2026 09:02:25
Agree with that, but for now, we have what we have. Is it enough?

They are all difficult games coming up, no question we look well sorted, play some decent football. Summerville and Bowen, just not quite there.

Firepower is where we are lacking, Joyfull.

0


21 Apr 2026 18:00:38
It's pointless talking about what we have or don't have. The important thing is How Nuno uses what we do have. I don't have faith in him as a coach.

20 Apr 2026 21:57:18
Difficult game tonight. Draw a fair result. Point gained. Everton and Brentford next.

0


20 Apr 2026 20:29:49
Very slow start by the boys. Johnson was so close, irony if he should score.

0


20 Apr 2026 20:42:31
I think we've been okay. Final ball has been poor, with numerous players giving the ball away too easily.

0


20 Apr 2026 21:02:05
Again, I just can't see what Pablo contributes when we've got a perfectly good striker on the bench.

0


20 Apr 2026 21:12:09
Bowen's not having a great game.

0


20 Apr 2026 21:26:41
Bowen has been our worst player by a country mile. Not to say he won't do something though.

0


20 Apr 2026 21:44:22
Here we go. He's bottled it again. Taty off? You must be joking.

0


20 Apr 2026 22:10:18
Disappointing. I thought we were far better than them in the first half, and should have taken advantage of it. Bowen and Diouf were especially losing possession, with poor touch and final ball. Pablo didn't have a great game, but the enigma is that after he went off, we went downhill.

0


20 Apr 2026 22:13:55
Point gained against a well organised side. Time to go home now.

0


20 Apr 2026 22:46:06
"Pablo didn't have a great game, but the enigma is that after he went off, we went downhill." That's down to Nuno going defensive again. Pablo was useless and should not have started.

0


21 Apr 2026 09:43:04
And I should add that Bowen was also useless and should have been replaced at half-time.

All the Bowen knockers give me the right hump. He's been great for us since coming here, he's not a bloody robot! Do these knockers think he deliberately plays badly? He's always running & chasing, plus the opponents are always wary of him, & he's an excellent example to the youngsters, & always capable of scoring.

👍 We'd be sick if he was pissed off with too much responsibility on his shoulders & wants to go at season's end regardless of what happens. 🙊🙊⚒⚒⚒

He wasn't poor against Palace. Their lb was excellent. He was the quickest we'd seen this season. Also, Bowen usually has 2 players close to him, therefore removing opposition players from their zones. Bloke gives 100% during every game. Those who go to away games never criticise the man. That tells a story.

The team do not need telling, there’s a cup final to be played every game

Cannot rely on others, getting no points; the weekend showed that

Equally, Forest and Spurs won’t win all their games either

After 21 games we had 14 points, now we have 32 and have a realistic chance of escape

Need to give it our best shot and hope for luck and providence to go our way, starting tonight.

Joyfull

Agreed, but the team selection and tactics Nuno decides on have a bearing on tonight's game. I hope we play a 4-4-2 and go for it, but Nuno's track record indicates he might play a 5 in defence, foregoing one of our forwards. We'll have to wait and see, but we're all agreed - this is one we can't lose. 🤞🏻

20 Apr 2026 18:15:06
I feel we have to win this one tonight. Sure, it's not the end of the world if we draw, but can't entertain a loss, or else the pendulum swings back in Spurs' favour even if we are ahead of them in the league.

I feel reasonably confident we will win, but we need to perform like we did in the 2nd half v Wolves, not the first half.

0


20 Apr 2026 18:47:28
De Zerbi is trying to apply pressure by saying Spurs will win all of their remaining games!! Considering they have to go to Wolves, Villa and Chelsea, with Leeds and Everton at home, it's a very bold claim. Even if they were playing well, that would still be a tough run in.

So Forest did what they needed to do and now it's up to us, with Everton at home next week, we've got a real opportunity now to put some distance between us and Spurs.

If there is a god, please let this happen lol. 😆 🙏 😂

Mac, unfortunately, do you think Moyes might want to prove a point to the Board about his previous treatment by the club, but, as we know, he's not on the field of play!
All becoming very squeaky bum time. 🙊🙈 But first Palace tomorrow to put more space between us & Spurs. ⚒⚒⚒⚒ COYI.

Get out of jail card there! Up to us now. We must get something Monday night. Joyfull

18 Apr 2026 20:34:21
Yup it's up to us now. Spurs at Wolves next, and they will be fighting for Premier League survival.

0


18 Apr 2026 21:16:39
Mac, I think it best to say that one will be a Spurs win. So we need to win on Monday to make tonight's game really count!

Wolves win at home but lose away. They will want to put the boot into Spurs.

1


19 Apr 2026 16:02:26
We need to go for it. Leeds and Forest both winning looks like it's just us and Spurs now. Every point counts, it's not the time to be trying to go for a single point, we need wins. Spurs were much better yesterday, and will fancy beating Wolves. We need to extend that gap.

1


20 Apr 2026 06:43:19
36 points isn't going to keep Forest up. They're bang in it still.

18 Apr 2026 19:35:18
How big could Rutters 95th min equaliser for Brighton turn out to be, especially if we win Monday night.

1


19 Apr 2026 09:03:02
🤞 🤞 🤞 What a goal from Mitoma. That man is great, would love him at our place. A lot of Asian players, real grafters with skill. 👍 👍 COYI tomorrow, a lifeline has been given to us. A win would be amazing, could almost save us depending on other results. Leeds well safe now. 😡 ⚒ ⚒ ⚒

1


20 Apr 2026 03:16:01
Leeds being well safe could benefit us, as the last game of the season they won't have much to play for. It's looking likely a 2-team shootout between us and Spurs. If we can get the 3 points tonight, and then manage a win v Everton, I think we will nearly be there.
