Hammer Michail Antonio can’s wait until today’s game against Spurs and yesterday posted a mocked-up VAR photo saying ‘Checking Michail Antonio’ with a VAR Decision of ‘The beast is back’ on Thursday Manuel Pellegrini confirmed the player will be involved in the game.
The player himself told Tony Cottee that he played for 60 minutes in an Under 23’s behind closed doors game last week in which he scored two goals.
Antonio has been out of action since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Carabao Cup victory over Newport County in September but has made quicker than anticipated recovery.
His pace and goal-scoring ability will be a welcome return for many supporters desperate to do one over on Spurs and their new manager Mourinho.
Antonio, of course, was West Ham’s match-winner last time they faced Tottenham, netting a historic goal as the Irons became the first visitors to win at Spurs’ new stadium in April.
Every team breaks thier duck against West Ham . Time for it to change . We are definitely relegation material . It was only Antonio that made any difference and fight . The rest of the team should be ashamed of themselves . A manager cannot rely on ONE player to change things . If Antonio was to leave us , then quite honestly I don’t know where we would be .
Relegation looming : Cure ; Pelligrini out . If that is too hard for some then sorry , it was the same for me when other managers were hounded out . But in this case it’s different . It is no longer a question of style ,, it is now a question of survival and Pelligrini doesn’t understand that . He is not a West Ham person . , for him it’s just a job , for us it’s pride and status & History ..Hopefully it’s goodbye Pelligrini . The Board must decide promptly and respectfully but it should really be the end .
Did Antonio just save Pelligrini’s job . ? . For crying out loud .
Now already 2 down . Should be and needs to be Goodbye Pelligrini . No real options . I never thought we would win this game anyway . I’m full of hope naturally . But I could never see us winning this game . Hoping that West Ham make an announcement soon .
We have a goalkeeper on the bench that couldn’t possibly do any worse than Roberto .
It’s decision time for the Board . Probably cheaper in the long run to pay Pelligrini his compensation and find somebody else instead of looking to the January window . I believe we have the players but the direction is totally wrong . Benitez is available and Pochettino is available ,,,, don’t know who it should be but it definitely needs somebody . We look like a second division team . If it wasn’t for Rice & Noble we would be down 4 nil at half time .
This has nothing to do with Mourinho being the new manager . It’s all about ours being out of touch .
As a West Ham supporter for almost 60 years I want us to get beaten well today. Maybe 0-4 WHY?
Because for us TRULY to be a great club we need to get rid of MP ASAP and have the anger turn against the 2 muppet directors…
We need a rich investor like Leicester etc found so we become a top 6 contender every season
This has nothing to do with the above article :
I would like to offer my sincere apologies to Sean & Gonzo for anyThing I said in a recent post that was over the top . I did get a bit more than just a little carried away . SORRY .
But the truth is we need something radical to happen . It’s all getting very upsetting at West Ham and it effected my thinking and correctness .
