Fifty Shades of Grays Spells Disaster After Oxford!

What the sweet FA is going on? As if a 1-1 draw at Borehamwood wasn't worrying enough, the first team squad have now lost 1-0 at Oxford whilst the development squad have been thumped 4-1 at Grays. After the Borehamwood debacle I posted that it was too early to worry but this is now getting serious. We should be strutting through a whole series of marzipan friendlies, but instead we are floundering.

Allardyce has tried to excuse inadequate performances by claiming that we are getting fitter, but we should be able to hammer the likes of Oxford after drinking 10 pints of Stella and eating a five course Indian! Something is wrong, very wrong!

The signing of Maiga has got West Ham fans excited but we know sweet FA about the guy and he has dodgy knees apparently. He may be another Ba, but he could just as easily be a complete dud. The clever money, unfortunately, would be on the latter.

We still need a defence and somebody to offer width when going forward, and we need to sort out Vaz Te whilst we are about it. The rumours of a £40k per week wage cap do not bode well, and the refusal to up RVT's wages from the £14,000 he accepted when we were in the Championship points to absurd levels of penny pinching.

We should be excited about the new season at the moment but the early indicators suggest that there is Trouble with a capital T ahead.

  1. Let me be the first to congratulate your great team on it's wonderful pre-season achievements thus far.

    I'm sure it'll all work out in the end.

  2. As a fellow West Ham fan your blogs are embarrassing. All you do is moan, whine and criticise. It was a friendly ffs. What's more, it was a friendly consisting of young players with the average age of about 18-19 (apart from Piquonne who won't be with much longer anyway).

    Friendlies are just a way to build fitness levels up, no more.

    Try and post something constructive for once.

  3. Stop being so negative - what's the point until we actually start the real games come mid August. We indeed could go out and hammer these teams but that still doesn't mean come villa we are going to do any better against them. Let's just wait and see

  4. We were undefeated in preseason under Grant, I recall.
