After our fives loses on the bounce its time for the players and management to dig deep and get a result at home to Swansea on Saturday. Tottenham did us a big favour beating the Swans last night.

There are loads of opinions about the poor season the Hammers have had and I am not having the change of stadium as any excuse. Bad recruitment YES!! When a player leaves to sign for another club they play at a different stadium, train at a different training ground and may live in a different area of the country. I cant recall a player saying he could not perform because of the change of stadium. The facts are a pitch is a pitch bar a few different dimensions. Whether you are in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales or the Moon it’s a game of football. Put it this way my brother works in a gang of builders they could be on a job for a year to 6 months. When they move to another site or city they cant make an excuse of the changes. It is their livelihood and their job.

GET ON WITH IT !!!!!!
