He said he won't leave his job in China as they have some very interest project going on.
The enigma that is West Ham United
- Thread starter FootballHQ
- Start date
My dream this season would be to have West Ham and Burnley relegated
Nothing enigmatic about them. They are a relegation team thus they appointend a manager of that level
With mostly the same squad last season they finished 10th and 18 points clear of bottom 3. Finished level on points with Leicester and two behind Everton.
Now they sit 17th don't they?

They really shouldn't be a relegation team, though.
There's a clear big six in England in terms of money: United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs.
West Ham follows that group. They have more moolah than Leicester, to state the most obvious example. In fact, they're comfortably among the top 20 richest football clubs in the world.
And have been the worst team in the league by some margin at that
Most of the time Pellegrini set them up to be super open in an effort to create wide-open games, and then rely on WHU's superior quality of players to carry the day. Problem was, the single biggest factor in the success of that strategy last season was Fabianski
And such a strategy is simply not reliable unless your players are truly exceptional. Which west ham's are not
Also, they still play Noble in CM. Noble is basically useless at this point.

Problem is mainly they have too many players that are great on their day don't have too many of them.
2,3,4 maybe at a push 5 times a season it will all come together for 90 minutes, a huge chunk of them will have "their day" at the same time which will lead to people thinking they have top six potential when it reality it's not on.

Nothing enigmatic about them at all.
Despise their fans, especially since 92 & 95 when stopping us meant more to them than anything else.
Hope they drop out of sight.

And their last game at Upton Park, when they stopped us getting CL the next season.
Well they were nowhere near it last season with largely the same squad and manager, that was my point.
They are massively underachieving and have structural issues in their team so could go down but will be one of the best squads in recent teams to get relegated if that happens. Will see how Moyes gets on. He needs a good start given some of their fixtures in late January and February.
Uh, no. They overachieved last season actually
If Fabianski doesn't bail them out, they're a bad team, simple as that. And there's fewer bad teams in PL this season, too.
Now they have the three Ds. Davids. Dildo Dithering David.
Moyes and West Ham suits very well together. Not going to reach high, but stay in the league around 14-15 place.

fecking hell
Were they holding him gunpoint when he was reading that?
14-15 looks good now. My GOD it looks like Moyes is taking them down.
To drop a lead like they did yesterday is just a pure disaster. City next and they could potentially be destroyed by 4 goals or more.

Imagine pressuring journalists to report that you've actually burned over 200mil to potentially get relegated. 
City, Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal are their next 4 out of 5 fixtures and they all away. Moyes usually had a terrible record against these sides.
They might be able to beat Spurs and Arsenal though.
Although not sure they can deal with the pressure once the gap to safety increases.
Watford will probably deal with the situation better even though they have dropped recently in terms of getting results.
I think Bournemouth play the worst football near the bottom, but they seem to be able to grind out some wins at the moment against rivals. Not sure how since whenever I watch them they defend like crap.
Moyes and West Ham are a match made in hell. It would be delicious if they got relegated, actually. Couldn’t happen to a nicer shower of bastards.
SAF got it right in his autobiography when he asks " can somebody please tell me what the west ham way is!"

So c'mon feel the Moyes
Reading this it's like us with less money. The West Ham way. The angst against owners. The ability to turn it on and beat top teams then think they are going to go on a run and get top 4. Players that look class but lack consistently. Spent a sht ton of money (relatively) but wasted it. Go through manager after manager and can't find the right one. Nothing works whatever they try
I'd love it if they got relegated so we can all bombard their fans on social media with that 'We Dem Moyez Boyz' video.

I'm just wondering what the gestures could be. Maybe like Fowler doing the bumming thing to Le Saux? I can't think of another homophobic gesture other than the hand flutter that Larry Grayson did.

Actually think Antonio could do a job for a top 6 team, hard working, good on the ball and versatile.
Seriously? Do you think she has got the jobs she has because she's shite at them? Do you think she's a token woman? Absolute state of a post.

Nothing to do with her being female, but not hard to think it might have had something to do with Sullivan and her dad being long standing business associates though...
