Do think Rafa is overrated mind, says alot when Steve Bruce has more points than him at this stage

Now I know Joelinton hasn't set the world alight scoring but no one can deny that the purse strings haven't been loosened.

Carroll has 3 assists along with Atsu and Almiron.

Couldn't see him coming back unless he was going to manage Arsenal or another top club rather than West Ham tbh.

I've only watched them live a few times and he didn't play in either game. Saw his assist against Everton at the weekend but that's the only one I could remember.

They'll stay up either way i'd say. Have exceeded expectations and there are three worse teams than them in the league at the minute

There was an interesting article in the Daily Mail (normal caveat arising) about the progress made by WH under Gold, Sullivan and Brady, and how in real terms very little has changed over the decade. To me, any progress has always been back up with some sort of ham fisted attempt at development, on the cheap, or with minimal outlay. The general failings to capitalise on good positions is one of their legacies for the decade, and there is only so far the good will relates to taking the club on, when it was a financial basket case, will take you. pelligrini not making it a success is almost no surprise considering the decade.

I'd rather be fisted with a ham then have Moyes as the manager. That's if I supported West Ham obviously
