Just to cheer everyone up I checked up on our results since we beat the scousers at the LS back in November last year. To say that our league record is unimpressive is an understatement. It reads P34 W10 D 7 L17 which gives a points tally of 37. Not relegation certainties but pretty close to the mark.
But now consider a scary fact. Because of the way the fixtures panned out those results include two wins each against Norwich and Watford --12 points. Take out those results because there's probably only one Norwich/Watford level of crap this season, and we've already lost to them, and we've managed 25 points from 30 games. That averages out at 0.83 points a game, or 32 points from 38. I know that's bending the figures but nonetheless----------

Post that to the board, might make them really think seeing it broken down like that. Mind you I would be surprised if at least one of them wasn't aware of how dire the situation is.

I'm sure there are an army of analysts (well, maybe one part timer with a laptop) employed by the mega professional conglomerate that is West Hamm who have this information to hand. But I wonder if they may be fearful of bringing up the stats at meetings. I'm sure we've all been in meetings where we've sensed somebody wanted to say something but was shit scared to open their mouth in case they upset the MD.

Reckon most of us had an idea that was where we were , and as you say " scary if nothing else " . Though the away supporters among us will feel differently and this shouldn't even pose a problem .

I'm not getting this away supporter reference that keeps cropping up. Newmarket mentioned it on a post the other day but being the bastard he is didn't explain.
Probably because, apart from a few Europa games last season I heven't been to an away match , or a home one for that matter, for bloody ages.

The spend figure is well and truly going to worry the fuck out of the Hammers United lot. What are they going to protest about now the board have released some cash ?
