Can't we just stick 10 players on the goal line and leave one up top. It's going to be Armageddon otherwise. We could concede 50 goals by Christmas!

It's going to be a long, slow and painful road to the end of the season! We are still one point off the lowest points tally ever of 11 by Derby. Hopefully we can beat this before the season ends!!!

i honestly think we can nick this.

had we scored our penalty last night i think we would have gone on to win.

this is just a very "west ham way" kinda game. get tonked for a couple of weeks, roll up to the best team in the country by some distance, everyone expects a 5/6/7-0 thrashing and we end up turning them over.

CHARGE!! :scarfer:

If Adrian plays a blinder and say, keeps it down to below 4 goals conceded, surely he's got to be given the nod ahead of Hart in the next match.

I'm currently clearing out the mess behind the sofa as that's where I'll end up on Sunday afternoon!!

If Adrian plays a blinder and pulls out an incredible MOTM performance to keep them out and give us a point, Hart will still get the nod next game. That is sadly the way of things and it stinks.
I hope our brave travelling fans sing Adrians name loud. and proud.

Looks realistic to me. What are the odds on that scoreline though?

I’d play a 7-1-2 formation. Honestly think Antonio could cause them problems.

Actually forget it :lol:

Adrian playing is the only positive I can think of.

Thinking of getting thrashed at Man City, is Relegation Roger available?

Actually surprised City are 1.12 on betfair 12% return for 90 mins ain’t bad. Honestly thought they’d be about 1.07 .

Huddersfield took the lead against us and Southampton nearly snatched a draw last night. 2-1 wins against average Premier League sides isn’t the mark of a free scoring side. Moyes’ Everton would frustrate season after season.

If the players share some of the pessimism on here then you’ve no hope.

Jesus Christ ! I'll have some of what you're on ! I don't think I've ever been so sure that we're going to lose, and lose badly, in all the 53 years that I have been a Hammer.

For a game that is the first of a spell of 9 games in 30 days.

I think some of our promising youngsters are going to get a run out and Moyes might want to have a word with Zaba to try and cut out the bookings.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a red card on Sunday then another against Chelsea, another against Arsenal. I just don't think many of the Players want to play for the club.

I'm going 7-0






At half time !!

28/1 for the win, 11/1 for the draw.

Amazing odds for a 2 horse race.

Apparently, there have been longer odds before in 2011 when Blackburn played at Man U and Blackburn won!

Stick £25k on it and you could retire at 57.2 years' old according to the pension advice banner that flashed up on my screen >>>

What are the odds on "Premier League Record Defeat" and "Biggest Ever Defeat in British Professional Football History"? I'd lump on either of them ....... and I suspect the odds for either are shorter than 28/1.

Win 1-0. Adrian plays a blinder. two banks of four, solid and rigid and looking like a well drilled unit. Sahko to score a sneaky winner around 65th minute.

They give us a false security, we start talking about finishing mid table only for it to come tumbling down in the next game. It's the west ham way, Fergie, BFS.

Hold on, the alarm clock is going off........

9:0 (Man U v Ipswich) 1995 biggest PL win.

10:0 to Man City is 500/1.

According to the same annoying banner ad a winning bet of £1,453 allows retirement at 54.4 years so I'm off to Paddy Power...
