true or not true is the fact that this was put out to the media by the club 2-3 hours before kick off what might turn out to be  the key game of our season (i.e a win take the pressure off and phycologically takes us out of the relegation zone and the loss makes us odds on favorites for relegation). The board chose at a key moment in our history to try and make the sitting protecting fans look like the villain's at this club and the board et al look like victims is the final straw for me.
That game was close and settled by a free kick - Those goings on could only have served to have a negative effect on the crowd at the game and the players and coaching staff final preparation leading to kick off. Unforgivable. 
 

Ugh

If he could stay fit yes, bit of an Andy Gray signing, problem is he won’t and we really don’t need that.

Doubt it, not many West Ham fans like him after the way he moved to Chelsea, then again they aren’t the sharpest pencils in the box. 😂

We never really had a chance with this one as the owner is just shipping him between 2 of his clubs.

I don’t mind him. Always a handful. Rather him than Maupay. 

Yeah, let's play him and wait 10 minutes until he gets injured and we need to waste a sub and then have to disrupt the defence as well.
Clever, very clever.
I disagree on your last point as well, as you know. He's crap because he's crap.

Creativity is definitely a massive issue. Iwobi was our only real spark and he is struggling to make an impact. Our wide players are massively inconsistent and our centre forward barely touches the ball. 
Richarlison wasnt exactly creative but he bundled his way through things, won the ball in good areas and made a habit of getting on the end of things. 
As Southampton showed at the weekend though, you dont need to be creative. Hit your big man, get runners off him, be positive and hope something gets finished. We have an attacker with one of the best leaps in the league and yet we barely stand a cross up for him to attack.
From DoF down, we are desperate for some clear direction yet all I see is a lot of confused thinking.

Be nice if people would stop including Mina. People need to stop pinning their hopes on someone so unreliable, and so do managers. He will always, always let you down.

This. I think Godfrey is on something like £100k a week and he hasnt improved since leaving Norwich. He isnt get paid that anywhere else. 
Iwobi is on around £120k now, more if he signs a new deal and again, that is a top earner wage outside the top 6 financial clubs. Maybe Howe would take a chance on him at Newcastle but its doubtful. 
The other thing is, if these players are good enough to be at Premier League clubs then they should be doing better than they are now.

He has to go but I'm resigned to us going down now. The club is terribly run

I think it's time to get in touch with Dyche. I really want Frank to succeed but he's not the right manager for the situation. We're in a dogfight and it's back to the mid 90s when we needed grit and determination. Dyche would inspire that or the fear of God into them, something to get something out of a squad that's better than it portrays itself as.

Gordon is fucking brain dead, they will have said all week no free kicks arond the box, that soft twat gives the softest of kicks away, its all well and good blaming frank, but this bunch are brain dead, and  clueless.

Ward-Prowse usually scores against us.

let’s go lads. Must win

Who are not genuine supporters.

Me, son and wife are all going today, will be there the greet the team and will stay after the game to protest, for as long as we can, BUT I don’t want to get into any confrontation with the stewards, and hope everyone else is of the same thought, they are just there doing their job, and should not be put into jeopardy in any way

The board do need to go, but the one person who needs to go more than anyone is Moshiri. Let's remember Moshiri isn't the puppet of the board, the board are Moshiri's puppets who are paid highly to carry out his orders and wishes. To all of you that stay and peacefully protest after today's game thank you 🙏, you are the last real chance of making a change by your actions, nothing else bar relegation and even possibly bankruptcy will get these idiots out of our club, so it's now the supporters time to take control before the inevitable happens. It's not unthinkable that we could go the way of Sunderland if Moshiri and his cronies remain in power. 

If he had the sense to run the club he wouldn’t have kenwright and his cronies in. The fact is he is lost now, he used to throw money at the problem…. Can’t happen anymore and the self serving board didn’t stop it. 

I would definitely like to see him overlap a lot more and get further forward - he can deliver a ball and does have a nice strike on him if he gets a chance on goal. He just needs to get in these forward positions a bit more. 
I definitely think we could get more out of him if the team was not quite so fragile and being a team attempting to transition from counter attacking to maybe more possession based. 
I do think this is now very much a team in development and include Mykolenko in this.  I am expecting individuals and the team as a collective to improve. Otherwise we really are fucked.
I never saw Mykolenko as an immediate Digne replacement who could instantly take over from him. All in all its been a very unsettling year for him.

I’m just watching the Newcastle games, SW first goal is offside, not by much, but more than Gray was last night, no VAR at this game, it’s a totally uneven way to run a completion, it’s either at all or none.

We were literally a millimetre from making it 2-2 & at that point I really believe we could have gone on from there. The third is simply us chasing the game at the death, I’ve no issues with it being 3-1 at that point chasing it.
As mentioned above, Myko had a huge chance that came a bit too quick to him & the defender blocked it + gray hit the post. We also played 60 odd minutes with Maupay who cannot work in that system unless he has a presence with him.
I will concede baileys point that they had a lot of time on the ball.  However the 2 times they scored before the penalty came from individual defending errors by letting their man get around them on the outside.
United have been seriously good lately & we made them work for that.

3 weeks out according to official site. A lot less worse than it looked/could have been.

He was more like the Doucoure we first bought, and worth keeping if he keeps that up.
