cambridgeshire canary 7,799 Posted May 8, 2022 Look, look West Ham are a good side. Top 6 team, very good international players etc etc. Yet at the same time they have not won in 5 matches straight and have just come a few days ago from getting beaten black and blue by a team 13th in the Budnsliga and half their team are clearly walking injured and tired yet they come to Carrow Road, pass it around, have a laugh and just tap it into the net a few times and now they arent even botherring celebrating when they score as to them this is all clearly just a training match to get them ready for next season and are prrobably rubbing their hands together at half time thinking about how many more they are going to get to score with such ease in the second half. And it's awful to watch, it's embarrassing.There is nothing to this club right now. No passion, no identity no decent passing or shooting.. Just nothing at all. It's like watching a pre season friendly of some pub side playing against Liverpool or something. Not a single one of our players seems to care either, just heads down saying nothing not talking to each other just no doubt thinking about what team they are soon to be sold to. Embarrassing. But the question is- Does anyone at the club care? I'm still waiitng for a 'club statment' of some kind. Come on Delia, come on Webber. Just say something, anything. Le'ts be aving you and all that. Stop being cowards and come out and say something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 4,272 Posted May 8, 2022 Listen to the crowd, look at some of the posts on here, no people don't care, it's why we're seen as a wet, passion less club by others 🤷♂️ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,573 Posted May 8, 2022 I didn't care enough to stay for the second half. 94 I got my season ticket and until this season I've only left early a handful of times and when I've had to get somewhere. This season has broken me tho. I think I've finally had enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This club aren’t cut out for the top level and accept it. Smith is here for a cushty job, probably get top half next season and keep his job on the proviso of “consolidating”. Before the club fade away to championship mediocrity. Its all pretty pointless investing any emotion into supporting the club really. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's football generally which is rubbish. Money has created such an uneven playing field. Thru out the pyramid. So many teams either don't compete or load on the debt for a shot at promotion. Rotherham for example are just like us a league down. A bit too good for league one but not good good enough to compete in the championship. Other teams probably hate us in the championship as we're basically bullies. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic achievement aside, a cup competition where you mostly play vs farmers in the early rounds and then get to go back to dicking on amateurs on a weekend is different from facing billionaire dream teams every other week. It’s easier to raise your game for a couple of 1 off ties vs good sides in the later rounds. Celtic, Fulham and Boro have also gone far in that competition recently. Rangers in their current form would be easily relegated from the prem. Edited May 8, 2022 by Tetteys Jig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,736 Posted May 8, 2022 It’s just so inevitable… I predicted we’d lose 3-1 and I thought that was being optimistic, sucks being right. Sooner this seasons over the better but can’t say I’m looking forward to the summer rebuild other than a change is needed, just nothing indicates it will go well.

Especially Gilmour and Williams who’ll be off back home in a fortnight anyway. I’d imagine some of them have lost all confidence in their ability as a professional player. Placheta for example looks like he wouldn’t even get in my old school team based on what I’ve seen this season from him. Btec Yanic Wildschut. The worst of it all for me is that 3 man midfield. Whatever combo is chosen is absolutely miles off what is required to compete at prem level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 2,199 Posted May 8, 2022 Delia's head is in the sand, Webber doesn't speak to plebs, Dean Smith comes out with banal platitudes and shows not a hint of overall vision or anything beyond the kind of mediocrity which would keep a team like Preston in the middle of the Championship (no offence, Preston - I could have chosen any number of average but decent Championship clubs).

beanbag 22 Posted May 8, 2022 I doubt anyone will see Delia, she only is seen when they are winning. If they were up at the top of the Premiership this year you could not keep her out of the media, plastered all over the front page of the EDP and several inside pages too and doing an interview on Look East, waving her yellow and green scarf. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
