David Gold has claimed there was no shame in the defeat by Manchester City last night.
The co chairman was as bitterly disappointed as anyone else but takes the view that we met a world class team at the peak of their powers as we collapsed to a 0-4 defeat.
There has been much criticism on social media but also a lot of tolerance with many claiming that the Hammers should not be too heavily blamed although the errors that led to three goals are hard to forget.
Gold tweeted: “We were beaten last night by one of the best teams in the world that cost hundreds of millions and they were at their very best. No shame dg.”
The Hammers now move on to Southampton and a return to St Mary’s for £8 million signing Jose Fonte with Gold telling ClaretandHugh: “We need to get over that and see a serious reaction. I am sure we will.”

Lmao essexclaret.Its been brutal today on blogs & twitter.Anyone woukd think we have fans without a life away from moaning about West Ham..Oh wait a minute maybe they dont.
Hmmm maybe would not woukd works better..
don’t worry we are all illiterate on here anyway.
Sais hoo?
I think there should be individual comment limits set on blogs.If you had a set limit of 20 a day it might make people think more about what their going to say instead of aimlessly having a b1tch about everything that enters their vacuous bonce 😛
some sites would lose 95% of their comments if that was the case
Golds comment sums us up. That’s why we will never be more than an average team who flits around mid table.
Can accept getting beat by a better team all day long but to surrender like we do is inexcusable. It’s happened too many times this season. Apart from Reid, Antonio and carroll again will excuse Obiang because he has been superb this season but last night was not at the races, the rest should hang there heads in shame . I took half a day off work and did not get in my bed till gone 3am. To be up at 7 for a full days work.
Let’s be right apart from 20 mins in 2nd half against palace and 20 mins against watford it’s been dire in the league all season at home.
They look slow and unfit.!!
Haven’t we always been an average team apart from small rays of sunshine rarely.I can understand some fans wanting us to be the new Chelsea or City but it really isnt for me.Who wants to be known as glory seeking fans =-O
Not wanting us to be the next city or Chelsea. Been a fan long enough as I’m sure you have coolio to know we have 1 good season in 10.
Just saying there is no excuse for lack of fight and desire to win . It’s happened too many times this season. Weak mentality. If we as the working man put in performances like last night then I’m sure I wouldn’t have a job for long.
Yeah i think thats what has bugged fans most,the percieved lack of fight.Maybe a rocket up the arse from Bonzo would do the trick 😁
What’s this? No more out of contract and available? Ambassador for KFC I suspect? I wish Bilic would have more faith in the young ones rather than loaning them out every season like BFS. It’s obvious Noble and others get stage fright against teams like Man City.
I too can cope with losing to a better team on the day, BUT we had clearly learned nothing from the 5-0 cup drubbing. That is profoundly worrying. For us not even to compete, when we knew exactly how they would play (the same as in the cup) smacks of lack of preparation.
Everton beat City 4-0 a couple of weeks ago. Are they really 8 or 9 goals better than us per match?
