West Ham banter 2

17 Jan 2026 17:21:39
Wow where did that come from. Proper team effort against a struggling spuds side but a win is a win. 8 more needed i reckon

17 Jan 2026 17:12:51
CAN WE, never saw this coming!

17 Jan 2026 17:31:42
Was never in doubt. Need some signings in, players looked knackered in the second half game could have got away from us.

17 Jan 2026 17:32:05
Great result. Listening on the radio sounded it 1.1 we were clinging on for grim death but hey a wins so important. Let’s hope they follow it up next week.

17 Jan 2026 17:39:08
Need it settled by 5th Round FA Cup
Sunderland W
Chelsea D
Burnley W
Man Utd D

Forest and spurs LLLL

17 Jan 2026 17:48:06
Just seen glasners post match interview and I think palace could end up being dragged into the battle for the drop even though they do have many more points than us

18 Jan 2026 08:22:57
Yep, he’s a very unhappy bunny.

17 Jan 2026 17:07:42
Wow where did that come from. Proper team effort against a struggling spuds side but a win is a win. 8 more needed i reckon

17 Jan 2026 17:33:03
Great result. I think they need to start paying Wilson a proper wage and get him to stay

17 Jan 2026 14:40:23
Cannot go with a midfield 2 and have soucek as 1 of those. Poor fernandes will need to run for the both of them. Glad Kilman misses out but Mavropanos is a mistake likely to happen too. can't believe our 3 centre back options cost over 80mil between them.

Going 3-1 spurs. Hate to say it

17 Jan 2026 17:34:42
Well Chris thought Tod and Mav were excellent ttoday as was Fernendez

17 Jan 2026 14:13:41
I've been watching the Manchester derby. United are a different team under Carrick. Now that's the sort of coach we've been crying out for.

17 Jan 2026 15:09:32
Its funny how the media always focussed on Amorim's formation but it was the same formation today, they just closed down quicker and moved it quicker.

17 Jan 2026 15:13:21
It’s one game as Man Utd Gaffa! Middlebro improved when he left ?

17 Jan 2026 15:57:18
One result is hardly definitive. I’m still not convinced Carrick is any good. But I’m also shocked we are leading and listening on 5 live sound good value

17 Jan 2026 16:35:55
I agree. I’m not suggesting we should hire Carrick based on one result, and ‘rolling eyes’ from someone who supported Potter and recently wanted the invisible man (JWP) back in the side is simply laughable.

I’m saying we need a coach who can get our current players playing like they would spill blood for the club — just like Carrick has for Man Utd.
And Spurs have just equalised!

17 Jan 2026 10:33:37
Morning all, what's your thoughts on today's game, I was hoping we would've had a new defender in for this game, Spurs need a pick me up and a result so I just hope we're not going to roll over like we normally do when a team needs a win just like we did against Wolves, we need to play on the front foot and stop all this bloody sideways passing across the back, that just gives the opposition time to reset, so frustrating.

17 Jan 2026 13:18:03
Perfect opponents to kick start spuds. 3-0 i reckon.

17 Jan 2026 13:44:27
I'm going to say that spuds will score their first within 6 minutes. Final score? We'll probably lose by at least 4. Even at our absolute worst in the past, I've never thought that we've got no hope at all in a game. Until now.

17 Jan 2026 14:19:10
Sadly agree Billy. I think we will lose but obviously hope I’m wrong

17 Jan 2026 14:50:21
Can't see any other result than a spurs win like you Billy for the first time as a west ham supporter there is no hope at all, no more money will be spent this window we are all but relegated anyway, the FA Cup is not a bright spot as this gutless team have no hope of getting a result against a big club if we get through and finally meet a big club that is

17 Jan 2026 15:13:38
Fancy a draw

17 Jan 2026 17:08:05
I love it when I'm completely, utterly and totally wrong! ?

17 Jan 2026 17:22:34
Me too haha

17 Jan 2026 17:48:55
Ditto ?

17 Jan 2026 09:51:25
Good morning all.

Seems its not only the footballing world that's realised what a calamity we are, but the Daily mail published an article about footballs most dysfunctional club (West Ham), here is the headline "Inside the chaos at 'rudderless ship' West Ham: A silent co-owner and gripes about Karren Brady, transfer market gambles, key roles vacant at 'circus' club, doubts over Jarrod Bowen's leadership and why staff are furious about the Christmas party"

16 Jan 2026 17:09:30
Ed's as matter of interest is it possible to reinstate a poster that was previously excluded?

{Ed033's Note - Maybe, who?

16 Jan 2026 18:16:24
Simply to whoever poster/s might have rejected to see others posts for whatever reasons by re entering their names to now include them? ⚒⚒⚒

16 Jan 2026 14:29:22
Could be a managerial merry go round at the end of the season, could Glasner go to united? Where would that leave Carrick, could Alonso go to Liverpool, and where would that leave Slot, and what do we do with Nuno, do we make a change regardless if we stay up or not? What's your thoughts guys.

16 Jan 2026 17:19:37
We are not staying up.
I don’t see Nuno leaving either.
Not many lead coaches will touch us

16 Jan 2026 17:46:56
Personally Stevie I think he has to go. I didn’t say that originally and feel he has inherited a worse situation than others but I see no improvement and a team that look zero on confidence and I don’t like his ideas and nor do I. I thought he could at least keep us up but he’s failed dismally
Ultimately the board are to blame for this whole mess.

Let’s hope they go some time soon but I get the feeling we may have to start from ground zero as we are in a lot of financial trouble our only good thing is the youth academy. I can’t see a top manager wanting to come to us as all we have is big attendances and few portacabins at rush green.

17 Jan 2026 05:44:01
With Glasner now confirming that he’ll be leaving Palace in the summer, it sounds to me that he’s Old Trafford bound on a permanent deal. That would leave Carrick available and I hope in the frame for us. Nuno is bound for the door, either now or in May.

16 Jan 2026 07:53:31
Just watched a post on Claret and Booze that suggested if we lose to spurs tomorrow the board will sack Nuno and bring in Harry Rednapp until the end of the season on no wages but a bonus if he keeps us up. I don't want to lose to Tottenham but would really like to see this change. I know it could be a waste of time and you should never go back to a previous manager and to one who has been out the game for so long. But I would relish it as he would at least get the players playing with a smile on their face with the emphasis on forward play and keep the ball away from our defence.

And it could just be the inspiration needed. As there are many things to be critical about regarding Nunos tenure but for me his whole demoralising demeanour is the worst. If we are going down let's see some enthusiasm and entertainment on route. I'm probably in a minority here but hey!

16 Jan 2026 08:31:34
I think what Nick on C&B was saying is that if we lose against Spurs, Sullivan will agree to putting the Redknapp option to the board for consideration. It’s not a done deal. However, if we lose, it may already be too late and Harry may no longer want the job. The bottom line is that Nuno should have been sacked ages ago.

He’s obviously only interested in lining his own and Mendes’ pockets by turning down players who are not Mendes clients and only bringing in those players that are. Everyone’s using the club as a cash register. We are cattle trucked.

16 Jan 2026 09:12:19
Hammer D love the optimism you have regarding Rednapp. I personally don't see that working out either mainly for the following reasons- (by working out i mean staying up)
Firstly he has been out of the game far too long, football has moved on a lot since then.
Secondly and more important is that he will still have the same group of players. Unfortunately past recruitment has screwed us massively. I was 1 who thought Moyes time was over when he left but look at the players he signed - soucek, coufal, even JWP.

All professionals who work hard. Yes the talent isn't necessarily there but the character of these players is what you need at a club. We have too many players right now with the wrong character, we lack a proper captain, we have an awful board whos sole purpose of moving stadium was to make money. As Tin legs says we are a cash register for them. Until the board go you can bring in any manager you like but we are doomed. Start putting the championship stadiums into your sat navs ladies and gents!

16 Jan 2026 09:21:20
No that’s true but it should be an immediate decision even by this board standards. It might be a complete and utter disaster and lose every game but the writing is on the wall already may as well go out with a flourish. Most other names banded about haven’t inspired me at all and whilst this is a total Wilde Card and unpopular with many of our fans.

I just want to see if he could have us play in a more cavalier style. As you say either way we are knackered

16 Jan 2026 10:35:08
I think also its a short sighted option. We need to plan for next year. We need a young, progressive manager brought in who doesn't have staying up expectations placed on him. We are done and down, don't see a way out so let's build for a promotion push now.

16 Jan 2026 12:42:13
I can’t disagree with any of your points Chris. But it would simply be until the end of season. But One thing the last 4 managers have apart from playing ultra defensive football is there seems no enthusiasm whatsoever and we need to see some, it’s amazing what a bit of that can do. Obviously I want this board gone asap but there is no likelihood of that happening any time soon.

Someone like McKenna would be my long term choice if Ipswich fail to get promotion. I personally think united are making a mistake with Carrick. Okay he will have better players at united as opposed to borro but I don’t see what is going to all of a sudden turn him into a good manager. So I wouldn’t want him either
