🤣🤣🤣 to those idiots who post HMS piss the league and those tweets about taty getting 20+ goals. Until we get a defense that gives confidence to the rest of the team we're going to enjoy another season in the championship.

She's got no right to be taking about West ham. She failed, badly
Former West Ham Vice Chairman Karren Brady talks about Nuno and Parker in her @TheSun column
“THERE is something rather sad about the way Nuno Espirito Santo’s time at West Ham ended.
I liked Nuno. I thought he was a decent appointment, a good man and a manager with a proven ball is unforgiving and sentiment has never been an effective way of climbing a league table.
Nuno arrived in September last year with a difficult job.
West Ham were struggling, confidence was low and the club was heading in the wrong direction.
He brought some organisation and initially gave supporters reason to believe the season could be rescued.
Ultimately, he could not prevent relegation and the challenge of getting West Ham straight back into the Premier League proved as difficult as many had warned.
I don’t think it is fair to put all of that failure at his door. West Ham’s problems were bigger than one manager.
There were issues with recruitment, squad balance, confidence and consistency.
A manager can organise the furniture but cannot always change the shape of the house.
When relegation was confirmed, Nuno agreed to stay and lead the fight for an immediate return.
But West Ham were not entering the Championship as an ordinary club with modest expectations.
They were a Premier League club with Premier League resources, a huge stadium and supporters who expected to be there for only a season.
There were encouraging moments. At times, West Ham looked capable of overwhelming Championship opposition, and Nuno had his team challenging towards the top of the table.
But defeats by Southampton and West Brom, both at the London Stadium, were particularly damaging.
West Ham had slipped to eighth, six points off the leaders, and the performances raised uncomfortable questions about whether the team was really moving in the right direction.
I have sympathy for Nuno, but I understand the decision.
West Ham could not afford to let an entire campaign drift away in the hope that things would eventually improve.
And now comes Scott Parker, who understands the club, its history and what it means to wear that shirt.
He left following relegation in 2011 but there is something rather fitting about his return now.
Parker will know nostalgia does not win football matches. He has a very big job to do.
His CV is attractive for the task ahead. He has led Fulham, Bournemouth and Burnley into the Premier League. That is no small achievement.
Promotion from the Championship is a marathon, not a sprint, and a manager must understand how to grind out results as well as win the big games.
His record in the Premier League has been less convincing.
But West Ham’s immediate problem is not how they will compete with the best in the country next season. It is making sure they get there first.
Parker’s previous spells in the top flight have left questions about his ability to establish a team there.
Returning to a club where he is so well regarded gives him the chance to write a different chapter.
He is not coming back simply to enjoy the applause. He is coming back to restore his reputation and help return West Ham to the top flight.
Sometimes a manager’s first job is not to teach a team how to win.
It is to remind them that they are capable of fighting.
West Ham have spent enough time looking backwards.
Parker has come home and needs to take them forwards again.”

This is worth a listen - suggests that Sullivan and Kretinsky are working behind the scenes ‘together’….
Let’s hope not.
@CanningTownLen and all of us will be frothing if so.
