Blimey Keys give it a rest

|

richard-keys-sexist-t-shirt-2-929-pRichard Keys has treated the West Ham fans to another dose of Sam creeping on his personal blog.

The shamed former Sky Sports presenter – kicked out with his buddy Andy Gray for sexism – just can’t bear what’s happening at West Ham without time and again dragging his mate into the equation.

Earlier in the season he used his blog to continually remind us that we were in no better a position than when his Dudley-born mate was around.

And even earlier he claimed that we would blow out earlier than other teams because we had started earlier – hasn’t happened mate! Quite the opposite.

Now – with the Irons two points in advance of the Allardyce total for last season  and with 27 still to play for – Keys is giving a history lesson on how all of us including Slav presumably, should be grateful to his mate.

He wrote: ““On the subject of West Ham. Let’s keep this simple. I say again, I hope Bilic wins the FA Cup. I like his attitude towards the competition AND he’s master-minded a terrific season so far.

But – I do wish that a small minded minority of West Ham fans would understand that Bilic wouldn’t have the club he’s got to manage right now had it not been for Sam Allardyce.

You were dead in the water when Allardyce picked the club up. He got you up – kept you up – twice – and left a fantastic platform for Bilic to work from.”

All been said a million times before of course and I believe Slaven, David Sullivan and David Gold were among those who said it. For how long are we supposed to be grateful to a man who led us to 12th place with that fantastic platform!

Presumably, until Keys has finished getting his nose as brown as possible.

    Keys + Allardyce = Yesterday’s news

  • Upton o good says:

    He may have made a couple of legitimate points, but coming from the mouth of that creep it just seems he revels in reminding us what sorry state we were in after Avram had finished with us. to say i despise keys aka Sasquatch, would be the under statement of the year.

    I should know better than get involved in this but that absolute no mark pr##k really gets up my hooter. How many of the last batch of signings were down to his boy friend Sam. Sullivan had already relieved him of his recruitment duties because we didn`t want any more hoofers or ex Sam players looking for a last payday. we wanted players that could actually play and not just lump it upfield. FFS Keys you didn`t think we would beat Sam`s points total and now we have you`re trying to say it was all down to Sam. Wou;d he have slung on two attackers away from home at 2-0 down and look to win the game. He`d have tried to keep it at two to protect the goal difference. Ihalf admire your loyalty but you`re supposed to be an expert on the game and give an unbiased opinion.Something that you are apparently incapeable of. Enough said you absolute c##t. I refuse to let you fu#k my night up any more. Why am i even responding to a biased c##t like you?

  • essexclarets says:

    Maybe i’m being thick here but didn’t he along with every other “expert” in the world of football say as the holy one has gone we were 99.99% certain to get relegated with no points, no goals, no crowd… blah blah blah be careful what you wish for blah blah??
    Oh wait a minute, we 100% wont get relegated, we have a club record amount of points after 28 games since the PL started, we have scored plenty of goals & we are sold out every week. Now this tool has said that we are only doing so well because of sam. Make your mind up Keys you can’t have it both ways.

    Samuel charm strikes again, he’s a really latin lover…

  • jonnyd says:

    Reid was signed by Avram.
    Noble and Tomkins were established in the squad before that.
    So yes Cresswell and Kouyate and Sakho and Adrian were signed by Sam but otherwise this is a team very much of Slavens signings. All have an enhanced value so there is no sign of having to pay up contracts for expensive flops (Diara, Miaga and Henderson) or sell on for a fraction of the purchase price (Jarvis). There is energy and enthusiasm, and a complete turn around of form. Right up to Christmas Keyes said we had the same number of points as under Sam. Well now we have the same number of points with 9 games left as Sam had at the end of the season. I am not going to slag off Sam but Slaven is of a different caliibre and has taken WH to a new level.

    • Dainon says:

      ‘Cresswell and Kouyate and Sakho and Adrian were signed by Sam’ – NOT TRUE

      Sam desperately tried NOT to sign Sakho .. he refused to sign Sakho as he was determined to pay £8m for Conner Wickham until DS refused and went back to revive the Sakho deal

      Im not sure who was responsible for Cress, Kouyate & Adrian because it was a mixture of Sam & DS at the time but Sams record was poor in general

  • mooro66uk says:

    If i got payed as much as him for talking boll##ks i`d be contraversial too but not absolutely fuc##ng idiotic. Iwas about to say he has his journalistic credibility to think of but thats gone out the window long ago when he decided he wouldn`t be focused on the facts but would fight Sam`s propaganda war for him. Hope he gives you crabs you docile c##t.

  • Hammerdragon says:

    So why didn’t Moyes and LVG win the title at Manure. F**k me they had the best platform ever, after 26yrs of success. In your logic you can’t fail!! Yet they did. Sam did get us up, did consolidate us in mid table obscurity but didn’t have the nouse to get us any higher and when he did, he was so effing surprised and taken aback he reverted to his tried and tested method which resulted in us finishing in mid table obscurity AGAIN. He did a mediocre job and was paid well for it. He’s moved on, we’ve moved so far on he’s not even a dot in the distance so just leave it. If you want to talk about him so much mention Sunderland.

  • slaven a laugh says:

    He’s only repeating what has been said by others to be honest, including the owners and Slav and the majority of fans who have all recognised how far we have come from the dark days, post Avram. Somebody had to lay some strong foundations to stabilise and build on. We’ve all been on a journey and I don’t care for all this negative and bitter point scoring grudge crap. Who signed who. This player against that player. Who cares? The point is we’ve come a long way and still have far to go. Success breeds success. It’s been a gradual process year on year. You don’t attract top players like dmitri payet when you’re in the championship and the Olympic stadium is still a long way off. The players we had back then were what we needed at the time. Success breeds success. Next year we will be able to attract even better players and go to another level again.

  • Green man says:

    Shut up Keys you sad fool. You talk like Allardyce did it from the goodness of his heart and not because he was extremely well paid. We have in Slaven a manager that actually has an affinity with our club and not some ‘Have a one dimensional plan,will travel’ merchant. Same goes for our owners too. Move on,we have, you hairy buffoon. You think you appear loyal when in reality you appear a sad lapdog. Shoooooooo. Run along a try humping somebody else’s leg.

  • OaklandHammer says:

    is it April fools day already?

  • bubs says:

    Slaven it’s not us bringing up who did what,the problem is he has gone and has little to do with the season we are having,
    He is just carrying on in his normal way at Sunderland,again buying cheap second class players that can defend hoping grabbing a point every other week will keep them up,
    At the end of this season weather Sunderland stay up or not they will end up with a squad of players worth very little that no one wants,but he will demand £50 million or more if the owners want them to stay up ( ring any bells )
    Yes he did what the 2 Daves asked of him for the first 3 years but when asked to change he found he could not because he does not understand any other way,
    I like you want him to go away,but as soon as we fail he will told you so if not personally through his dumb friends,or if we win or get to Europe how he built the foundations,
    Hugh has to post these things because they involve our club,
    It would be great if the media owners took the chance for the like of keys away,but if it attracts readers and attention they will print it,
    Keys is making money out of being a ****ar like a lot of others in life,

  • Hammer Tone says:

    The geezer gets right up my bugle.Comparing the points tally all season.Then now we are pulling well clear of last seasons tally he stops doing it & totally ignores Irons fans tweets because he has been shown to be wrong.He really is a very smug b#stard on Twitter.Thinks he knows it all but let’s face it he is a no mark who asks questions,he is no authority on football!

  • GW says:

    So the Neanderthal has come out of his hippo shaped hole dragging his hairy knuckles to spout about his ego inflated under performing best mate in football. He saved us from the dark days? He had the most expensively assembled squad in the championship and was beaten to automatic promotion by those gurus of management Adkins and McDermott. He left a great foundation? What a team that had no confidence, drive or couldn’t buy a win because that fat oaf couldn’t be arsed anymore because his ego was bruised and the chairman knew if he’d stayed in charge we most likely would have been ****ed! Stick to Al Jazeera with your clueless sidekick you narrow minded *****..

  • hammersfan01 says:

    We’re all perfectly well aware of the state the club was in when Allardyce took over, and so yes, we do owe him some gratitude for getting us out of the Championship, and consolidating a Premier League place. But, we got out of the Championship by the skin of our teeth, as he allowed us to slip from an automatic promotion place to the play-offs in the space of about eight weeks. And, when we got into the Premier League, we didn’t push onwards, but merely trod water. Slaven has injected new life into the players that were at the club already, getting significantly more out of them than Allardyce ever did. Would we all have been screaming for Mark Noble to be included in the England squad last season? With the best will in the world, probably not. It’s Slaven that has done that. Would we have come back from two goals down to beat one of our bogey teams on their own ground last season? Me a*se would we have!! It’s Slaven that’s done that. Would Allardyce have been able to inspire his players to the brink of not just a European place, but a Champions League place AND a cup final? I think we know the answer.

    It’s Slaven that’s done that.

    It’s because of Slaven, and everything that he has brought to the club in the few months that he’s been in charge that we all feel the way we do, in such a buoyant mood, so confident about everything. Owners, staff, players and fans, all pulling in the same direction. It’s because of Slaven that I’ve adopted the mantra of former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling…

    “Why Not Us?”
