Where is the light at the end of the tunnel??
I don't see it :-(
West Ham 0 - 1 Man City
I honestly think we are done for. We just can't bloody get our act together. Pardew got a win for Charlton against villa and there is less distance between them and us now as there is between us and 17th. I'm sorry but this season has relelgation written all over it. Oh yeah and Sheffield Utd beat Arsenal!
And for those thinking don't worry Deano will save us:
1. We'll be lucky if we see any form out of Deano this year.
2. I don't think Deano will be at the club next season because of the catastrophy of this season. Can you see him staying even if we do stay up? It's rotten because we have not seen him play a full season at West Ham and I was really excited about that prospect this year.
We've had some devastating luck this season and the confidence and free flowing football of last season is a distant memory.
Why was it Dailly who came into the side to replace Konchesky? I assume McCartney must be injured? Shame cos I think a few people wanted to see what he'd do in Konchesky's absence.

After not being able to source a live a stream of the game on the net, I decided to fork out the 2 quid to watch a 2 hour delayed full replay on fltv.
Bowyer replaced NRC in midfield.Dailly came in for Konch.Dailly played RB with Spector playing LB.Teddy came in for Zamora.No palce for Mascherano on the bench with Cole and Mears finding there way onto the subs bench.
We had bulk of the possession but never looked like threatening.City put numbers behind the ball and Marlon and Teddy never had any clean chances.City allowed us to play with the ball in midfield, they made CD look quite good and gave him plenty of space to come forward with some good runs that came to nothing.Yossi and Bowyer tried but there was nothing working up front.
City did make probably 2 breaks that came to nothing and our centre backs looked comfortable.
Half time came and the weather conditions worsened.What looked like torrential rain and a howling gale looked to have set in.Using One of Pardew's favourite saying's City set up their stall and looked content to take a point.Tevez on for Etherington on the hour.Cole on for Teddy on the 70 minutes.Lots of possession but we never looked like scoring.
Then like at Everton and in so many other games this season came the knockout blow.I cant recall exactly how the ball came to the City but it was a 2 on 2 type situation.The ball carrier ran at gabbidon and Ferdinand,Gabbidon then peels off to his right anticipating a pass to unmarked City player.The City player kept his head and didn't pass but continued forward through the now huge gap and hit an unstoppable shot past Green.Game Over.
Green never looked thretened except once.
CD Did nothing wrong.
Gabbs and Anton probably could have handled their goal better.
Spector did OK on the left.
Yossi good first half anonymous in the second.
Bowyer played in patches without ever dominating.
Mullins will look good in a Charlton shirt.I think he is a Pardew boy.
Ethers better than he previous effort.
Teddy was frustating in my opinion.
He doesn't seem to be playing as a goal scoring forward.He tried too many times to lay off passes to Yossi,Bowyer or Marlon when they were in worse positions.
Marlon I am afraid it was probably his last chance.
Tevez probably the worst I have seen from him but by that stage Yossi had gone out of the game.
Cole one touch one offside and 2 fouls
Mears got wet running out onto the pitch at the 85 minute mark.
I can appreciate it is not easy for a manager to takeover a team midseason.Furthermore, add in the uncertainity of the Argentian situation as well as the comings and goings in the transfer window.However, I cannot see the logic in not playing the two most talented footballers at the club. One can only infer that Mascherano is definately on the way out and is not being played to prevent an injury.Tevez has said he wants to stay yet there are rumours about Darren Bent and Mark Viduka coming to West ham.
I think in hindsight the momentum was lost at Fulham.Curbishley may long regret not bringing on Tevez in that game.I still remain optimistic but as beex said who'd wanna play for us now?
Anyway that is my last rant for 2006.A Happy New Year to you all.

Mcartney is injured. Although why did Dailly come in a RB. We have both Paintsil and Mears.
"The fans? Well they’re calling for Tevez but he’s not scored a goal."
NOR HAS ANY1 ELSE

With the big increase in TV revenue next season, survival is a must. Our new owners better front up with some cash in the transfer window.
Being in the releagtion zone, maybe the best we can hope for is one or two cracking loan deals; as long as the manager buys them and they're not from Argentina, of course.
said...
And the guy who does the live updates has summed it up extremely well.
"Hammers owner Eggert Magnusson yawns. What's he thinking? Why did I stay up so late? Why did I buy this club? Is it time to get a new manager? How much do I have to spend in January to turn this rabble into a football team?"

Wigan are losing, Boro are drawing.
We need Boro to lose and Arsenal to beat Charton tomorrow.
Then we need a miracle.

Well im sure ive spammed this topic up a shoitload. But heres my last. 6-0. Bowyer and benayoun forced off injured. Zamora hit the bar in the 90th minute.
Borugh won and so did blackburn.
On this performance i say we fucking deserve to be relegated
said...
We'll never find out how it got so bad until pardew writes a book.
Maybe too many players become big time charlies.
if we go down, the same cunts can get us back up. that includes NRC.
said...
The worse thing is that if indeed we do get relegated. I cant imagine a player in the first team that will stay.
