The last word on the Newcastle bore-defeat should go to the fans: Newcastle away fans who travelled down on a Monday night 500 mile round trip just six days before their trophy-starved team heads back to London for a carabao Cup final with Liverpool, selected West Ham United faithful and the odd neutral.
From independent Magpies supporters web site The Mag comes some frank opinion on the Hammers’ performance on Monday night, collated from the BBC Sport website – a mix of home, away and neutral comments which make ‘interesting’ reading for West Ham – who hardly laid a glove on an admittedly mediocre Newcastle United side.
“Hammers fans must be seething after watching their side hardly laying a glove in the opposition with a poor display of errors, non aggression and showboating by several players. Luckily there are 3 worse sides or they would be nailed on to go down on tonights gutless display.” Yes, indeed. Seething? Probably not any more, as we have had to endure this for so long, the seething subsides and far worse, apathy starts to set in.
“Worst West Ham performance I’ve seen in years, no shape, no intensity,sat back inviting Newcastle pressure …..they were playing at home for gods sake.”
‘Kilman ”I felt a hard push” before flying through the air like an eagle. Isak simply put his hand on his back, he felt it and acted like an Olympic diver.’
“Feel for the fans because this is not the football they deserve , Potter totally the wrong choice of manager ….get rid asap.’ Steady on, who do you think we are, Manchester United?
And my personal favourite: ‘West Ham could put a glass eye to sleep. Boring negative outfit.’ Tell us something we don’t know – we have had to watch this style of alleged ‘entertainment’ for nearly two years now.
Onward and upward. What price a 3-0 West Ham win at Goodison Park on Saturday?
C&H always pushed back on those (like me) who said “be careful what you wish for” re getting rid of Moyes. Let’s see what happens on Saturday. Hopefully as you say 3-0. But if it’s 3-0 to Everton instead I hope that C&H and all those who supported the (insane IMHO) to get rid of Moyes will accept it graciously as the price of wishing to get rid of him.
0-3 on Saturday? Absolutely no chance, maybe 3-0. The only way this one becomes unpredictable is if Potter finally decides to play Guilherme and Orford, otherwise just more o9f the same.
Apathy and realisation that this is a poor side. 85 minutes on the clock and the bowl of misery starts to empty, fans couldn’t be bothered to even see what added time might result, six minutes. They say its the “Hope” that kills you but all those leaving knew that team could have played for another 24 hours and wouldn’t get a shot away.
Earlier introduction of Ferguson and more thought for late substitutions not Ings but somebody with pace.
Who knows?
General opinion is Potter knows best (maybe).
Apathy is a great word when talking about west ham.
I’ve seen some bad teams over the 40 years of having a season ticket but most of them had a bit of a go.
Turning up every week on the hope of maybe seeing a shot and if we are lucky one in each half is brain numbing and for the first time in that time of attending I’m thinking of giving this dross up
Spot on Dave.
Concern is that more real Irons fan will go the same way and the club hope they can replace you all with tourists who really don’t give a toss.
