Given all the money spent, the team has an amazingly ordinary look about it. A forward line of Vassells and Nugent isn't going to strike fear into the opposition, even though they have amassed 23 England caps and 7 international goals between them. Both only have a 50% strike rate when aiming at a barn door from 5 yards, whilst Beckford is a moody bastard who is unlikely to respond positively to the Swede's failure to start him.
Former Hammer Konchesky was never great at his best and is another whose two caps say more about the paucity of English born talent than his ability. How out of place did he look in a Liverpool shirt last season? Paintsil is another familiar to Hammers fans and we never saw much to suggest that he was anything other than ordinary. King is decent but nothing more and the same goes for Danns and Fernandes. How has so much been spent to assemble such an ordinary looking team?
Much more mid table mediocrity and Sven will surely be sent flat packing just like another former England manager who was shown the door early up the road in Nottingham. Is it any wonder the England team have won nothing since 66 with clowns like this in charge?

You worry about your own team and don't waste time airing your views on one performance of a team you are obviously worried about come the end of the season.
One performance? How many games have you won?
HF ive taken lots of stick from all my mates who support championship clubs as I said that something was wrong with the odds if they were favourites to finish second. There squad looks mid table championship quality to me. Kasper schmeichel in goal then there two full backs are west ham rejects and then the rst of there team is made up of rejects from other team
If by Westham rejects you mean went on to better teams.

Aside from King, Danns and Fernandes being good players, Konchesky being a solid Championship player, and Pantsil being kept out of the team, the players you mention collectively only cost us around £1.5m.
I'm not going to get too worked up about one defeat (away at Birmingham, yeah that's always easy) seeing as though we were unbeaten in 7 before that. We'll have 6 points from the next 2 games, and we'll be in the top 6 as a result.
Top 6 eh? You aiming high aren't you?
Mate, we're 2 points behind you in the table! Please...
