So here we are in the Europa League quarter finals, though possibly for not much longer. A two-goal deficit against the new German champions seems too much to overcome.
There’s been a lot of idle conjecture about the health of the Academy of Football whenever Divin Mubama (19 years old, eight Premier League appearances, zero goals) has been overlooked in favour of Danny Ings (31 years old, 220 appearances, 71 goals).
(Please note this piece was written prior to Sunday’s game. Any optimism was at the discretion of the author and fuelled by blind loyalty and claret and blue vision.)
End of the line, end of the road, we've reached a crossroads - or any other transport cliché you can think of. It’s how it looks for West Ham and David Moyes.
According to one report, the day was saved by 'the West Ham fans' refusal to let disappointment turn to sullen resentment'.
I have to ask, what makes you happy about West Ham?
Points in the Premier League are never easy to come by – every top manager bar non will tell you that!
It's getting silly now, isn’t it? David Moyes has seemingly become our managerial ‘Millwall’... everybody hates him, but he doesn’t care.
It sounded good, didn’t it? On the surface, if you pick at his skills and look at his recent career, there’s a lot there to love. But if you scratch at it a little, does it start to unravel quite easily?
Our beloved club do have the insatiable ability to tick off their fans at every given opportunity and then try to make us feel guilty for daring to moan.
