I used to run a joke that Turds had refused to buy a sprig of heather off a gypsy when he arrived at Upton Park to take over, and that's why the wheels came off big time. I mean, only West Ham could be taken over by an Icelandic bank on the eve of a world banking crisis - the first since the Wall Street Crash in the 1920s - centred on bloody Iceland! We went into melt down because idiot bankers were offering sub prime mortgages on igloos in the spring! Now you don't get much unluckier than that!
If you want to support the cursed theory, surely you have it there in a nutshell! But look what else has happened! Ashton gets called up for England and his career is ended! Dyer breaks his leg against Bristol Rovers. Hitz is named Germany captain and is promptly ruled out for two thirds of the season before he has kicked a ball in anger for the club. Parker goes on England duty - something West Ham fans have called for over the last 3 seasons - and picks up an injury that has restricted him and kept him out of yesterday's game. Then there was Boa's horror injury at the start of last season and Faubert's horror injury the season before and not forgetting Ljungberg's cheese allergy of course. And now O'Neil's career may be over after a horror tackle from, of all people, Reo-Choker, a tackle for which our former captain wasn't even booked! That isn't just a catalogue of bad luck, that feels like a curse to me.
Who else has had a legitimate winning goal, scored with the very last kick of the game, wrongly disallowed? Who else has had a player sent off for celebrating a goal? The bloody gypsy bitch!
Who else could sign one of the best players in the world and find themselves facing a £6million fine and a compo claim of £25m from a no mark club heading now for the old Third Division? That's more than bad luck surely!
It feels like a bloody curse to me. But then I watch us play and think, no, we are just crap!

The biggest curse was being bought by these morons and it's on-going.
What the hell was Grant doing when Torres was about to come on? We're 1-0 down and can get back into the game and he's laughing and joking with the Chelsea striker before he is about to be sent on. What did he say, "You can break your duck against us Fernando"?
Unbelievable.
I think it boils down to crap management at all levels. Buying injury vulnerable players, also players with no interest in the success of the club or actually earning the excessively high payment they get each year. I am not including the D's and Brady at this stage, probably they will eventually get it right
Bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy? We are crap because we're cursed. Best not to be ambitious as each time we display this quality we get spanked for it. Place your bets for the disaster that besets our move to the OS. Plague of locusts? Poisonous grass? Retractable seats that the bongo boys buy off eBay retract killing thousands? The return of benni mcarthy?
LOL 1739!
He had a bet on him Stani and was smoothing the waters for next season when he is Director of Football and Circumcism at Chelsea!
We are crap. The table does'nt lie nor does our goal difference.'IF' we survive we will only go on and kid ourselves for another season and bump along the bottom of the league. A massive reality check is needed and I hope the inevitable drop to the chumpionship sends a bolt right up the arses of SuGo and co.
...nothing wrong with being circumcised HF....try it.
