Upton Park’s legendary hard man Julian Dicks has waded into the Hammers of 2014 with a no holds-barred atack.

‘The terminator ‘ speaking on BBC Sport last night made it clear he simply wouldn’t have what West ham fans are getting at the moment.

He roared: “Man City are a great side but the least you expect from your players as a supporter is to work hard and give 100%.

“It costs supporters a fortune to go to Manchester City and it was a case of players not giving a flying monkeys how they performed. The work rate over the last half a dozen games has been disgraceful

“We all have bad games and make mistakes but what you expect every single game is to give 100%. To watch some of them play is embarrassing.

“I cannot see a way how Sam Allardyce can continue, they got beat 5-0 by Forest and 6-0 at City and I can understand how the fans feel. The football is not good.”

And former Manchester City defender Danny Mills added: “All credit to the West Ham fans they have been brilliant tonight.

The players have gone over and the fans would be within their right to not clap them but they have been bigger than that and I applaud them.

“Some of those players put more effort in going over to the fans at the end of the game than they put in during the game and that’s what bothers me.”
