Unfortunately that probably makes them safe for another year :(

I never bother looking down at them up is the only way for us.
They have spent my lifetime chasing us trying to be at least similar or better and they fail miserably a total and utter irelavance.

West Ham captain Mark Noble has called the win over Swansea their "biggest in a few years", as his team moved eight points clear of the relegation places.

It's almost like they are desperate to be involved in something at the end of the season! Accept where you are. Nothing like good enough to mix it with the big boys for honours etc and not even shite enough to be involved in an exciting relegation battle!

Seems like they are finally where they have always wanted to be...they are finally Tottenham Hotspur

Problem for them is, they are the Tottenham Hotspur of the late 90's early 00's, except in a shitter stadium! Mid table mediocrity beckons for the next few years until they go back down for a season or two.

And people were genuinely scared about them moving in to the Olympic bowl!?

To be fair, this season they've somehow managed to replace one of the most creative players in world football, who took the league by storm last season, with a past it, average 33 yr old centre half and Robert Snodgrass. That takes some doing!

Remember the bad old days when the team was so poor that all we could do was look at the youth coming through, attribute outrageous footballing ability to them and absolutely demand that they be played because 'they couldn't do any worse than the current lot'. Of course you do. Hey, we're currently second and we've still got one or two posters like that now... :sneaky:

Anyway, I digress. You can imagine, therefore, how West Ham feel. They're watching a team wholly devoid of spark, talent and, when they go 1 down, commitment. Their faith, nay blind hope, in their young contingent is therefore high, no more so than in young Reece Oxford, a centre back currently on loan at Reading.

Now Reece hasn't actually played that much this season and West Ham fans have become ever more vociferous in their demands that young Reece get a start and, on Saturday, it finally happened. He got his start - and duly conceded 6 goals in the first half as Reading fell to a 7-1 defeat by Norwich.

Now, I'm not digging out young Oxford. He is, indeed, highly thought of by some, and there were mitigating circumstances. One West Ham fan who had seen the game reported it thus:

"Reading were (obviously) a shambles as a whole and the centre backs were offered no protection by full backs or the midfield."


leading to the payoff line...

"It was at that moment I realised Reading were the perfect club to get him ready for life at West Ham"

Well according to Sky sources, West Ham have already chosen who they will go after if they sack Bilic...the guy from Fulham.

I find it hard to believe that two successful businessmen would ignore what went down at Coventry and it shows that gold and Sullivan are either stupid or arrogant or both.
The Coventry saga has proved that if you don't own your own ground then you have very little in the way of finance in relation to clubs that own there own stadiums.
I can see this getting worse for the spammers with them going down a division or two ;I am so sorry not He He
