Will they stay there? I don't think they have a cat's chance in Zouma's Kitchen.One of the many, many texts i've received this morning
West Ham are back in the top 4

I’m not on Twitter but Chris Packham has contacted the RSPCA’s legal department. In addition, written some very beautiful words condemning both Zouma & West Ham. If anyone is able to pin it, it is a worthy read
Yeah even if they club/Moyes were purely cynical about it and had no intention of properly punishing him, dropping him for a home game against Watford is about as soft a fixture as they could've got away with.They’ve really opened up a can of worms by starting him last night. It was already front page news, but now it’s everywhere, tv, radio, twitter. And instead of just pillorying Zouma, the public and press are going after the club too, as in picking him they’ve in a sense taken on some of the responsibility.
Really bad move.

As far away from football as possible.“to go”? Where?

They could've just "punished" him with a one game ban (which is nowhere near enough) and it would've at least shown a small amount of integrity and quietened down the story.
By starting him it makes the club look pathetic and keeps the story in the headlines for longer.
I hope they lose some sponsors over this - probably the one way that would actually hurt them (other than everyone thinking they're a clown show).

After the Suarez/Evra incident Liverpool's name was dragged through the mud. But the partisanship of football meant Liverpool fans rallied around their player and outside a suspension there was no punishment to the club. No loss of sponsorship or anything.
I see the same happening here. Outside of prosecution for the player there is no real repercussion to the club. A large proportion of their fans already seem to be supporting him and opposing fans would rather sing "funny songs" than give him a hard time.
That would have been glorious if it was at the West Ham game.Did anyone see also that a cat invaded the pitch at Sheffield wednesday in protest?
How random that a cat got onto the pitch and it happened around this zouma incident!
Someone must have taken it to ground and done it deliberately surely?
I'm not going to give the bloke credit for apologising. I have no time for people that abuse animals.
Looks like some sponsors are looking at their relationship with the club already
West Ham sponsors question Moyes' decision to start Zouma as police make enquiry
Kurt Zouma was selected to start for West Ham against Watford leading to a sponsor evaluating their relationship with the clubwww.google.co.uk
