Never thought I'd see the day when I would see a club's fanbase think to themselves 'should have stuck with Moyes' and actually mean it.

Out of all the fan tv shite, they have the best one.
Yeah that Claret and Hugh one i find funny, he starts off his match vlogs so chirpy with so much optimism, and by the end he's just half cut and swearing in despair when they inevitably lose again.
Its great to watch.

The one where they go back to the pub and talk about the game is good.

It's been a bastard few days but gems like this make me feel slightly better ...

The Spammers have that unwanted record even though they've spent 4 seasons in the second tier of English footie during the PL's short history. On the other hand, Everton have spent only 4 seasons outside the top flight from the day they became one of the founder members of the [English] Football League in 1888.

Pellegrini gets 15m to be sacked. Goes on holiday when he has most of the squad he could get in training. Its like he doesnt want to be there so he’s baiting west ham to just sack him. Lovely. Oh dear, west ham

Why don't these managers just bloody quit. I know they get a multi million pound pay out when they're fired but they've already got more money than they can spend in a lifetime. Conte' played silly games for 6 months or more trying to get the sack. If he hated the club that much just leave with some dignity instead of putting the club & it's supporters through the wringer before finally getting dismissed ?
Stinks to me of greed.
If i get fired from my job for lack of performance I get my owed holiday pay and nothing else !
Not saying Pellegrini should quit after 4 games, just saying if he wants to go at any point, just resign.

I know what you mean, I've felt the same way before when certain managers wait to get sacked.
I think with conte it wouldn't surprise me if abramovich was being a dick to him for quite a while, so I wouldnt be surprised if he thought, fuck it, I'll wait for you to sack me.
I think Pellegrini knew what he was getting himself in for when singing for west ham, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he knew he was punching above his weight with trying to convert west ham into a top 8 club, with man city and Malaga they all had substantial money. I know west ham spent 100m but in comparison to his time in Manchester and Spain 100m gets you no where except paying over the odds for bang average players if you are certain clubs, and imo west ham is definitely one to them as the owners were desperate to show ambition to the fans after last season and they have spent far too much on the calibre of players they have brought in.

I doubt Pellegrini is worried. He has the comfort of a big pay off if he’s sacked but probably thinks he can turn it around.

At stake is his reputation but this is football, shit managers get hired and fired over and over again.

This article doesn’t pull any punches

Diafra Sakho leaving £200,000 Lamborghini at West Ham sums it up
Diafra Sakho's decision to leave £200,000 Lamborghini at West Ham sums up the club… the training ground isn't up to scratch and Europe laughs at scouting system and infrastructure

  • Diafra Sakho abandoned orange Lamborghini when he left for Rennes in January
  • The under-performing striker earned enough money to disregard a supercar
  • Money is being thrown at average players as Premier League TV income balloons
  • West Ham have lost four games from four despite spending £100m this summer
  • Meanwhile, their Rush Green training ground is in desperate need of investment

Pellegrini should resign and forego a cool, easy £15m plus the wages up until they sack him? Are you serious?

This made me chuckle a bit, from 23:50:


Could you imagine if you were sat next to one of those blokes? I don't fucking care about my mates' opinions during the game let alone some fucking stranger. Shut the fuck up, watch the game and cheer when you're fucking supposed to. My God, why does everyone think they're so fucking important - even if I think my opinion is important, I don't say it out loud to a pretend audience that isn't there. At least I put it on a forum where people can read or, more likely block and not read.

There's no fucking mute button on that **** is there?

Jheeez.
