Well I have to say , that West Ham performance yesterday was abysmal .
They strolled around as if they didn't GIVE a fck.
Now I've been watching West Ham for 45 years and I think I know the koo over there .
Most West Ham fans are easily pleased ( look at CM's love affair with Allardyce lol ) .
All we've ever really demanded is a decent standard of football , a bit of entertainment .
Results , although preferable , have never been the be all and end all over there . Same with league position .
Most Hammers fans settle for the occasional relegation if it means 4-3 defeats and a good game to watch .
Entertainment has always been priority along with one other thing . Effort .
We've had some really poor teams in the past .
I can remember standing at Oldham in the freezing cold with it peeing down with rain losing 6-0 .
I can remember standing on Arsenal's North bank watching us lose 6-1 in the 70's .
I can remember standing on the Anfield road watching us lose 5-1 and getting relegated ( lyall was sacked afterwards , but as embarrassing and hard to take as those results were , one thing stood out .
The players played their hearts out for the shirt and for the fans .
We've had players such as George Parris , Christian Dailly and , to a lesser extent , Kevin Norun() .
Most Hammers agree that their footballing skills were questionable . Poor even . But the one single thing that the South Bank would agree on is that they tried their best , sweating blood and tears for us .
The performances at West Brom in the cup and yesterday ?
Pathetic and I can't even blame BFS who looked and sounded like a broken man in the post match interview.
I am very very sad today
