Disappointed David Gold was not ready to blame the Hammers for a poor display against Crystal Palace.
The co chairman will have to run the gauntlet of Palace-supporting supporters at the workplace today where there are as many Eagles fans as Hammers.
But clearly he doesn’t believe he should be in that position after the Irons emerged as 2-1 losers against the south Londoners.
It put an end not only to our unbeaten run in the Premier League but also to the record against the visitors which had stretched back over the previous eight games and four years.
However, Gold was philosophical about a defeat which relegated us to eighth in the league as he summed up his feeling on Twitter.
Rather than blame the Hammers for a defeat which to be honest was probably unexpected he chose to play it low key in his response and ake the loss on the chin.
He tweeted: West Ham1 Palace 2 Disappointing result. Most of the time you get what you deserve sometimes you don’t. dg
Again, no apology forthcoming from West Ham people in charge. Nope and dont think it should come from Mr Gold. He is not in charge of the footballing side of the club. But Pelligrini and his staff. The skipper also has a fair share of responsibility, with the big portion of blame to be shared amongst the over-paid and under-achieving players in the 1st team. Proper analysis, with appropriate adjustments need to be made asap.
Apology !!!
Completely agree with his assessment which mirrors MP’s sometimes you play better but in a couple of moments luck runs with your opponents, if you continue to play that way across the season you win more than you lose and sometimes it will be us that plays worse and gets the result. Palace scored one more goal than us, that was the only stat that mattered.
We missed him but the team were awful
