Ferguson started this last season with his 'you no what you're going to get when you come here' statement after the match when Carroll flattened DeGea.

Hasn't exactly bought them a lot of good results though so far has it.
Far from it, in fact a scrappy 1-0 against a poor WHU side is more than likely going to be what keeps them up.

Winced all the way through the interview because it was a stark assessment of our style.
Or lack thereof.

He was stating the obvious. Not sure anyone should have an issue with it really.

West Ham attempted just three shots on target v WBA. No side have attempted as few in the Premier League this season (114)
What it didn't say was that we've had the highest amount of attempts off target with 12,841 but Diame has put 12,609 of them into the street.

We walked past him afterwards as well .

It's says a lot about him that one of our greatest ever players still takes the trouble to go to away matches .

As a fan under Allardyce, the worst thing is... when we are trailing by one goal I never ever feel like we are going to equalise. It's like if we're still 1-0 or 2-1 down in the 60th minute I just feel like going home. There's no intensity, it's just the slow sideways passing and aimless crosses that get us nowhere. It's SO unbelievably frustrating as a fan.

Can you think of many times under Allardyce where we've been trailing by the odd goal to get a draw or even a win? I can't think of many at all

Why is this acceptable? Why does everyone stick up for him every time I mention his name?

Vaz Te contributed more in 1 half vs Tottenham then this hack has in 30 yet he starts week in week out and was chosen over the signing of a 2nd choice striker.

If a new manager comes in id like to think his first order of business will be to sell Downing

I agree mate he is a powderpuff lightweight with no end product and he is on 70k pw week!!and he is about to turn 30! and yet people on here think he is decent and Jarvis gets slagged off far more even though he has had a better season :eh:

Our priority this summer should be to show him the door along with (Nolan MCartney Taylor J.Cole) all old and useless and eating up far too big a chuck of our wage bill, they need to be replaced buy young upcoming players between the ages of 19-26.

This season we've gained four points from games in which we've gone behind.

Which is strange because last season, we seemed to play a lot better when going a goal down, what has changed? Likewise, we used to try and get to half time 0-0 and then change our game in the second half to win it. We don't seem to do any of that anymore.

That's a horrendous record. I bet we've lost a lot more after we've gone in front :D

We've lost or drawn seven games when we've gone ahead.
