Di Canio must have taught them the song

Two diabolical defensive displays by both sides today. As a West Ham fan all I can say is come back Reid and Collins all is forgiven and get rid of Arnautovich and keep Hernandez.

Awful news in the Guardian this afternoon. If we sell him it will show just how much ambition the club really has.


Declan Rice available at a price says West Ham’s Manuel Pellegrini

‘If it is a good deal for the club and the player then we can do it’
• England midfielder under contract at West Ham until 2024.



Manuel Pellegrini has warned the Premier League’s big clubs they will need to pay a huge fee if they want to prise Declan Rice away from West Ham.

The midfielder is already being linked with Manchester United following his successful first England appearances against the Czech Republic and Montenegro. Other major clubs at home and abroad are also reported to be monitoring the 20-year-old on the back of a hugely impressive breakthrough season for West Ham.

Rice is under contract at the London Stadium until 2024 but the club’s hierarchy will be bracing themselves for some firm interest this summer. However, Pellegrini said: “In that case, as always, it is just a matter of price.

“There are big teams who decide to pay an important amount of money. Sure, if it is a good deal for the club and the player and improves his career, then we can do it. But I know nothing about that yet.”

Rice attracted many plaudits for his performance in front of the back four on his full England debut in the 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifier win in Montenegro. His composure on the international stage came as no shock to his club manager. “Was I surprised? No,” added Pellegrini. “I know Declan Rice, I have said before that he is a young player, just 20 years old, but his mind is that of an adult player.

“He never feels pressure playing here or with the national squad. I was absolutely sure his level of performance would be exactly the same. In terms of his development he must continue doing exactly what he is doing now, to work in the same way, to have the same mentality.


“He knows he must improve, that is why he is always listening and learning so, as a player, the way he plays more games and better games he will continue improving.”

The midfielder Samir Nasri is a doubt for Saturday’s visit of Everton with a calf problem.

Big clear out needed in summer.  Is Pellegrini the man to do it?  Having doubts tbh.

He also did good work at Villareal and Malaga but I get your point.  But I'm not sure if he still has the appetite for a big rebuilding job.

West Ham United - Doncha just love 'em

That contract was a very strange decision ffaith but surely Gold and Sullivan had some involvement and possibly to ensure a higher fee if sold. For me I never wanted to see Moyes leave but the board take too much notice of the fans these days.

Those so called West Ham fans are a bloody disgrace to our club and could do with a little education about the history of the East End. As for yesterday it was at least heartening for the Man Utd manager to admit they were lucky but I reckon that ground must be worth at least 10 points for them each season.

Yes on penalties I noticed.

We need some good news to deflect from what the idiotic element bring us.

A disappointing season coming to an end when you consider that last season we finished 13th under Moyes who took over when the team was in the relegation places. Since Pellegrini has taken over £100 million has been spent and the defence at least now looks far less competent which makes me question whether the manager is the right man for the job.
As for yesterday Obiang again looks like a player who should be starting matches and Antonio performing really well but these are 2 players who have given the club good service and without them yesterday we would not have got a point from this game.
Finally, I can't remember a time when our team have been on the wrong end of so many bad decisions and so roll on VAR.

Last season at The Boleyn under Bilic , cost us a possible Champions League place

Westham cup final next sat

Arnautovic starts.  He owes us a performance.
Masuaku keeps his place at LB.  His last minute laziness cost us 3 points against Leicester.  Let's keep the concentration up for 90 minutes this time

3 London teams in continental finals FFS.  Let's hope we show some ambition this summer otherwise we will fall even further behind.
We finished 14 points off top 6.  Liverpool made up 18 points on Man City from last season and Ajax (with a wage bill lower than ours) were a second away from an UCL final. 
We can dream/hope

Reynard is his own man.  Maybe you guys over there take yourselves too seriously

37 posts by Reynard on the Spurs Files in the last month not all of them derogatory,some were,
some were conciliatory, some  complimentary. I'd say that was obsessional and jealous wouldn't you?

Don't waste your time on the lilywhite mob, reynard
