You're not going to get through to many on this thread. We've had a turgid last few seasons trying to play smooth passing football, and all bar a few games, failed miserably. For that reason, most fans on here will take hoofball if it gets results. In fact it's pretty much their preferred style of play. I'm finding it amazing that they're getting at another team's fans for wanting a bit more.all this West Ham way stuff is that we like to see our sides play entertaining attacking football
it's not some set formation or style and the press have made more out of it than anyone else
unfortunately if the "West ham way" is as I said attractive attacking football, then we were right Allardyce does not provide it
the change in both style and results was moving Downing from the centre and breaking up the successful Sakho Valencia partnership
all done to accomodate Nolan and Carroll. Who strangely share an agent with him
Oh do give it a break. If the cap fits.Well its official, people on this board can turn ANY thread into a dig at our fans![]()
To be fair, the board is about opinions, varied as they are. Purrfect South and I have had disagreements, but that doesn't make either of our viewpoints less valid. They are just that, points of view.Well its official, people on this board can turn ANY thread into a dig at our fans![]()
A meaningless phrase that has resonated down the years and plagued many a Hammers manager since Wist 'Am won the World Cup in 1966.The West Ham way![]()
Well said, agree completely.Again, there is a lot of vitriol around about Sam and his apparent lack of achievements. If his achievements as a football manager are being done down, then what does that make the achievements of our last 4 managers?
The truth is IF Sam can recreate the stability he has at this previous clubs then we will be looking back in three years going thinking of just how lucky we got that Sam was ready and available. If it doesn't work out, then we've lost nothing - because right now, today (based on our form this season) we are in possession of a one way ticket to the Championship, and could very well end up like Leeds, Sheffied United, Coventry and the many others who have sank before us in debt.
We need to stay up, we need the TV money next season and we need a manager who has previous for doing just that. Fuck West Ham, fuck their West Ham way - the West Ham way looked pretty f***ing shit a fortnight ago.
The club, yes. They treated him poorly.
We have plenty of fans on here who slag managers off. Dick was getting quite a bit of stick recently, and all the others have had shed loads.
Social media allows fans a voice, and we're just as critical on here as any other fans. It's pathetic then for us to be outraged when other fans do the same.
We justify what we write about our managers because we're watching their every move. We know more about what's going on than other fans looking in from the outside do.
West Ham fans were the ones paying to watch his football week in, and week out, so surely it's their prerogative to criticise if they feel let down. Who are we to tell them they can't. I'd be pissed if other fans were slagging us off for being critical of any of our previous managers.
I'm likewise likely to be pissed off at any manager who has a pop at me for criticising him. I, after all am the paying customer. If I don't like what I see, then I'll bicker on a message board if I want to.
The fan in question was giving Sam no praise at all, only putting his spin on the negative aspects of his spell in charge.
Compare this situation. Bruce took over when we were relegation fodder, had one decent season then returned us back to where we were when he came in. IMO he was deservedly sacked but all he waffled on about was finishing 10th and being sacked for being a geordie. It was bullshit, he failed, the table doesn't lie.
Sam got West Ham promoted and established them as a mid table side when many other promoted sides get relegated or struggle year on year like ourselves.
To slag Sam off for those tagible achievements is having a very narrow minded view of things. We might not have a first hand view but the raw facts are there for all to judge. Again the table doesn't lie.
and BSA cupped his ears, thats a hanging offence for some of our fans.Their fans booed a home win. Cracking support
Big sam can do no wrong on this board atm. Give it 18 months.and BSA cupped his ears, thats a hanging offence for some of our fans.
It doesn't matter how you dress it up with their position in the table, the fans had started to get fed up with the style of play.The fan in question was giving Sam no praise at all, only putting his spin on the negative aspects of his spell in charge.

To be fair BSA done it for being booed after winning and Fletch done after not scoring for a year.and BSA cupped his ears, thats a hanging offence for some of our fans.

I don't like any manager to have a pop at the fans of a club he's worked at. It show's a lack of class to mouth off about those who pay loads of money to watch your team. Managers are there to deliver the goods, and should be able to take a bit of criticism if they're not pleasing their paying customers.
There's a few on here who have given pelters to previous managers, yet criticise your lot for doing the same.
Oh do give it a break. If the cap fits.
This it was f***ing unreal that mind, i use to think they were canny fans but they are the mags of the south theyve had too many media blowing smoke up their arses due to many of them in the press being hammers themselves. Booing after winning man f***ing hell.Their fans booed a home win. Cracking support
Sam was booed because he set his team to defend in depth against a woefully out of form Hull City side who were down to 10 men after 20 minutes when their goalie was wrongly sent off. Hull completely dominated, even with 10 men and West Ham were hugely fortunate to win through a dodgy penalty and a huge deflection, which came in spite of Sam's tactics, not because. Instead of going for the jugular against a terrible side lacking confidence, he gave all the impetus to Hull. The West Ham fans had had years of these performances and this one was the straw that broke the camels back. It will happen here too, given time.
