We all like to believe we are right but this game makes mugs of us all and that has been perfectly demonstrated over the last three games.
It seemed barely credible – despite him having a very poor game and one that he owned up to – there were those either calling for or getting close to wanting David Moyes, out after the Brighton draw.
It was a different story after Saints away and following the win at Everton Moyes was again ‘Moysie’ and a hero, – that’s football for yer!
That he claimed his first Goodison Park win since leaving after leaving the club over a Carlo Ancelotti side speaks for itself – this is a man who has found the right club and is changing its psyche very quickly indeed.
West Ham will always have its fan issues – if it’s not one thing it’s something else and none of us have a monopoly on what’s right or wrong.
Currently, the big thing we are seeing underway at this club is a degree of stability we have needed for years and my New Year hope is that us fans can get sucked into that in a big way.
Unbridled passion and tribalism is all well and good but I’d far sooner settle for the calm and steady top 10 West Ham this season with fans – for once at Christmas – wearing a smile on their collective face.
