According to the old adage, records are meant to be broken. However our latest feat this week was one that I wish was never going to happen.
When the wheels come off at West Ham, they really do, you can hear them clanking down Green Street. Well you could, but let’s not go there, it’s part of the issue.
The last two years have been a whirlwind for Jarrod Bowen. The English right winger and forward made his England debut in 2022 to continue success as a West Ham goal scorer; Bowen is now a long-term priority for West Ham United.
David Moyes is a manager not known for idle talk or gossip – and certainly not prone to freely giving away any plans he might have regarding teams selection.
West Ham remain without a win in 2024, having faced Sheffield United, Brighton, Bournemouth and Championship side Bristol City (twice) - who eventually ended United's FA Cup hopes for another season.
Let’s get a few things straight. I’ve never been “Moyes out”.
It’s going to be the year of the polls, we are all braced for it. It’s going to be nasty, bitter, abusive and divisive. And that’s only the West Ham ones.
After the highs of December, the ensuing weeks have eradicated any sense of joy lingering from the festive season. Injuries and absences. Stagnant performances and the now annual January transfer window disappointment.
It was never meant to end like that, with the football world watching as Pablo Fornals concluded his West Ham career.
We’ve all seen turning points, some of us more than others, so you try not to get over excited when another one moves into focus.
