"Will the last player out of Upton Park,please turn off the light."

So now Joe Cole has been sold aswell,following Sinclair,Di Canio,Johnson and Kanoute.
Some 6.6 million to join the Chelsea revolution,what chance do we have of regaining our Premiership status,I think the odds have been stretched after this latest departure.
I will still give the club my support in the first division,but as a realist I doubt if an instant return is possible,I hope I'm wrong.

Three hours until we kick off,even with all the negative vibes,the start of season tingling has begun.
It's looking like David Connolly will start up front with Defoe,I just hope he keeps up the strike rate he had at Wimbledon.

He'll stay one more season, which is why the Hammers desperately need to bounce straight back up.

To be honest I'm surprised we (Liverpool) have let go of Mellor, it leaves us with only 3 strikers assuming Diouf is playing on the right.

I just hope for my Dad's sake that West Ham utilise Mellor well this year...up the Hammers. {:)

but defoe won't be there much longer.

Mellor and Defoe up front doesn't sound too bad...

Absolutely,Breen was a waste of space and only seemed bothered when he played for Eire.
Pearce was given a run as a centre forward.
And Repka was a liability whenever he stepped onto the pitch.

Damn right. We didn't win a home game until January, by that time we were already doomed. Roeder failed to spot the obvious: the season before last we had the worst defensive away record in the prem yet we had the best defenisve home record. Last season our defence was just the worst. Therefore one would presume that defenders were needed or a change in personnel taken. What does Roeder do? Buys Lee Bowyer.

Brevett was a good signing and Johnson did well but the damage was already done. Having no decent centre backs didn't help either.

*Points* *Laughs* Go Wycombe!

A defining moment for West Ham last season (for me anyway) was when they were playing arsenal off upton park and kanoute missed the penalty to put them 3-0 up....

Sorry about the last post,I'm still gutted about the Cole transfer.

We got back from a shopping trip this afternoon,where we bought some pampers and and new bib for our daughter.
The white bib had a nice claret and blue trim with the slogan " I dribble for West Ham " on it.
We gave her a bath and wer'e about to give her a bottle,only to find out Chelsea had bought the bib for 50p.
