I reckon that for all his inconsistencies, there were 5-6 games in each of the last three seasons where he turned draws into victories or defeats into draws, accumulating an extra 10 points or so which we have not managed to replace. That haul would see us sitting pretty handsomely in mid-table, even this season. Teams like us only need one star to make all the difference in the extremely congested second half of the table, and he was ours. He's been carrying West Ham for months who otherwise would be no better than us. Our predicament isn't that much down to the management or board in my view. Yes, they've made mistakes and would have done things differently with hindsight (eg. Berahino signing) but all clubs in the second half are having the same dim view of their own club's leaders. We could change them all several times but it would not progress us much in my view. Whilst the loss of arnie is massive and take aside our poor season shaq was always going to thrive as the main man Stay up. Extend shaqs contract and built the team around him

I'd be seriously questioning his mental state if he did want to stay, as good as it would be of course.

He left for the money....
But he and his brother were correct, it's since become very obvious to us all that there was and still is issues at every level
Lambert has steadied the ship somewhat but there are problems that a shiny new manager can't fix and they need to be sorted massively before next season if by some miracle we manage to stay up or even if we drop down
£50m.. on a poor attitude with drug problems that couldn't hit the net if he was attached to the goalpost, a metric ton of lard and a french child stuck in a mans body

Arnie pisses on Choupo-Moting from a great height. Miles better at everything.

Arnie stopped caring after the Everton interest imho. His last season for us was woeful {by his and my standards.} Though I always had that hope he'd come good. First half of the season on his arse, slipping over more than upright. Started to look something like and then promptly got sent off, maybe harshly, but still an unnecessarily petulant display vs Soton. We had them on the ropes early doors an' all. So he missed those important xmas fixtures. Leicester, Liverpool, Chelsea. Outstanding against Sunderland in that first half demolition up there. Then largely anonymous or worse until he skyed the penalty vs Swansea. Obv. not all his doing. Loved him while he was on it, but it couldn't go on. Journey. Good riddance at a good price in the end. WHU... Ambition/prostitution? or what footballers do.... you decide.

It'd be a juicy irony if Stoke stayed up and the Hammers went down. Can't see it though.

Arnautovic is a good player but he only played when he wanted to. He is a good player and he knows it He always thought he was bigger than the club. He acted like a petulent child sometimes.

That they are 3 points ahead of us after taking our best player shows how crap West Ham are. If he got injured now they would be championship bound

The loss One good player shouldn't lead to a collapse in form , all premier league teams lose good players from time to time . It only demonstrates the incompetence of our recruitment team over a long period.

I'm still scarred by the day that we gave him the freedom of the Bet365 to take the piss.

A 5 nil win on Monday will see us draw level on goal difference.
Believe!

A brilliant player and we badly miss, but it would be a pisser if West Ham went down. In fact it would be the funniest thing of the season.
