We have to hope they don’t pull the trigger on Pellegrini before Saturday

Might be too late. This is from Sky Sports news...

 

"09:22

WEST LOSING FAITH IN PELLEGRINI

 

West Ham owners are losing faith in manager Manuel Pellegrini, Sky Sports News understands, and discussions are ongoing about whether he is the right man for the job.

 

Last night’s performance against Arsenal is regarded as nowhere near good enough, and while hey desperately do not want to have to change managers mid-season, there are now real concerns about performances."

Think he'll be ok until after our game. Maybe we can complete our hat-trick of sacked managers.

Just listened to a Hammers fan on TalkSport and he was sounding just like us. Sounds like they have a number of similar problems and confidence is low. Good time to be playing them.

Come on Salzburg

 

Liverpool still being the champs league is good, the more games the better, its the only real hope of them dropping points and bottling the league (even though its very unlikely) lots of games, picking up injuries and fatigue to have a poor 2nd half of the season.

Austin in some decent form for West Brom, just scored a cracker.
Scored 6 in 5 i think, only been on the pitch for 10 minutes in this one and has turned the game around.

Austin will be in the premier league next season.....we probably won’t be.

He’s scored another two today thus far.

Looks like he will have the last laugh on us.

West Brom will be in the Premier League next season, I doubt Austin will play much football for them, even if he is still there.

Anyone know the Saints fan celebrating the Liverpool goal in this video? Weird bunch of plastics...

 

 

Cardiff and Chelsea shirts in there too. South Beach Florida, says it all. Do a google search for “Florida man” with your birthday and you’ll see that’s all you need to know. Works for any date.

Handbags at Leicester. Norwich expected Leicester to give give the ball back to Krug, Iheanacho took off with the ball, was fouled, made a huge meal of it, scrum insued.

I watched the Chelsea v Bournemouth game. They deserved the win, despite having so many players out

 

top 8 form guide (excluding today’s games) and over just 5 games is always the measure for rating teams

 

league table is irrelevant

Everton 1-0 @ Old Trafford.

 

Could be clear daylight between 16th(19pts) and 17th/18th(15pts) if they cling on for all 3.

 

I've been optimistic all season but the table looks concerning now, especially with Villa's next four games including us next week..

The other teams aren’t doing us any favours. It is going to be a tough second half of the season if we can’t rely on the teams above us to roll over.

 

Doesn’t really matter because our team only show up when they fancy it and nothing makes them happier than playing really well against a top six side but losing valiantly in the dying seconds.

That seems a good reflection on how we seem to be performing these days.

Brighton look excellent. Light years ahead of us. Good manager, team ethic, excellent defence and midfield. Very depressing.

Biggest difference is that every player is comfortable on the ball, especially in central defence and midfield. That makes a massive difference.

Kiss of death perhaps but Potter was always an interesting prospect.

Ancelotti to the dugout pioneers.

 

Not yet appara. Arteta to the Arsenal also possible. Weird move

Manager has to take some credit for that -whether in terms of coaching, recruitment or simple confidence- because they were one of the ugliest teams to watch under Hughton.

They are exactly the type of side we struggle with. Solid at the back, happy not to have the ball and fast strong players in attack.

We struggle against any side other than one from L1

Only for the first 70 minutes - Palace have switched on - do that against us like they have for the last 10 or so minutes and we will be on our backs having our tummy’s tickled.

Same with Sheff. Utd. Incredible what their manager has achieved with their squad.

Ultimately it is because we have the worst if not 2nd worst centreback pairing in the PL.

 

Others have no nonsense centrebacks, we have sh*te.

 

I wish we had like a Dunk/Cahill figure near Bednarek. Heck, I’d even take Scott Dann over either.

 

Hopefully this is something we will address going forward- signings should not always be in the U24 mould- even Jonny Evans be good now and that is a signing we wouldn’t have made in a million years
