Merse outburst on Pelle – keep taking the tablets mate
At a time when fellow Londoners Fulham have been relegated and there’s a bunch of teams in far worse conditions than us, the Sky pundit seems fixated on a Hammers team that until the Everton match was cruising along reasonably satisfactorily.
Ok, the Huddersfield game wasn’t too clever but despite the opposition hardly being the best the team we showed real spirit to gain a win. Meanwhile, poor they we were, The Toffees form appears to have picked up a fair bit given their victory over Arsenal this afternoon.
Yes, it been an up and down ride and the Hammers have squad have some questions to answer about, notably Marko Arnautovic, whose January dramatics did nothing to help team spirit or stability.

Merson told Soccer Saturday. “They look like they have got their flip flops on,” “Let’s remember, not even two weeks ago, they were 3-1 down against Huddersfield. No disrespect to Huddersfield, they can’t score three goals in so many games let alone in 60 odd minutes.
“You worry for the manager here. I’d be surprised if they keep on going the way they are going, there would be a change there and he’s done nothing wrong really.
Keep taking the tablets Merse!
