@1westhamfan 100% Steve, and goes to show the state we’re in after losing just 2 players to injury.

@J_Obern9 What struck me, James, was that Nuno & Paco likely knew they should’ve maintained the system they had prepared for all week. But that they couldn’t get past the idea of selecting Kilman is an absolutely damning statement regarding how they currently view the former 🐺 defender.
English
Really poor today, think we struggled massively with the late change in system and clearly weren’t prepared for that approach. Nothing decided yet though and still opportunities (and easier games) to turn this around. Onwards and upwards ⚒️

Defeat at Villa Park.

@dylansdailyd0se @danwoff98 100%. Been saying it for a while now, regardless what comes at the end of the season, since that QPR game they’ve given us a team to be proud of
English
@J_Obern9 @danwoff98 It’s truly so nice to watch a team that has bought in and believes they can.
English
Get in. Done it the hard way, were in control until the penalty and a shame it went as long as it did. Praying Summerville is okay 🤞🏻onto the next, this team is really giving us something to believe in in 2026. IRONSSSS ⚒️
West Ham United@WestHam
Onto the quarters! ⚒

Two defeats in eleven, four clean sheets in seven & a first FA Cup quarter-final in over a decade. Nuno has given us a team to believe in again & week by week we are growing. One win away from Wembley.
Irons.
English
Ironssss. Not the best performance by any stretch, we’ve lost games and played better, but at this point of the season all that matters is the points. Cannot question the application or desire, keep this up and I’m confident we’ll be okay. COYI ⚒️
West Ham United@WestHam
A big three points ✅

Join @sammydymond and @CottageTactico for a pod of two halves!
First @_mattwiggins joins to salute Diop, Iwobi and the rest after their showing in #FULTOT
Then @J_Obern9 from @WestHamWayCom is on hand to help preview #FULWHU 🔗 pod.fo/e/39b9df

Probably a fair result in what was a tight game. Missed a bit of sharpness in front of goal but good to see how solid we were at the back. Bit disappointing as a game we’d probably need 3 from, but it’s a good point against a very inform team. Onwards, COYI
West Ham United@WestHam
It ends level in East London.
English
@jcorbin04 Agreed, I’d be surprised if we didn’t appeal as it looked a nailed on yellow. Would much rather see what we did than go stronger, win 3-0 but pick up an injury!
English
For the life of me can’t understand the negativity. Got through whilst using minimal first team players, job done. It wasn’t pretty, but it was never going to be. As a side note, that is NEVER a red card in a million years. P.S Glenn Hoddle is a joke 😂 Momentum continues, COYI⚒️

We enter the Fifth Round of the FA Cup 🏆

Important just to get through today and we did, was always going to be difficult and credit to Burton for doing that. Another bit of magic from Summerville.
English
@fdkin1 @danwoff98 I see, apologies, little bit wound up after watching that 😂😂
English
@J_Obern9 @danwoff98 Yup. That's what I meant. (The oppositions right)
English
That really hurts. No idea where 7 minutes came from, but once again we sit too deep, and watch wingers cross into the box unopposed. We’ve conceded so many goals from the same situation. Would’ve taken a point at the start of the day but that’s really really difficult to take.
West Ham United@WestHam
We share the points with Manchester United.
English
@fdkin1 @danwoff98 The goal tonight, 2 of the 3 against Chelsea and Sunderland’s 1 all came from our left. And that’s just the last 4 games 😂
English
@MorganFrom97 @danwoff98 Totally agree re Wilson, thought he was pretty pathetic when he came on tbh. Diouf was dealing well with Mbeumo, seemed an unnecessary change at the time and Scarles is nowhere near close enough. Very good finish though
English
@J_Obern9 @danwoff98 We sit too deep because wilson is our out ball, we get deeper because he cant hold up at all. Add in adama doing nothing to track back and we made it difficult but cant account for that finish
English
Absolute must win today and we’ve delivered. Great goals and a clean sheet will build confidence that we can actually defend a lead. Weathered the storm in the early stages after HT, but the Potts substitution calmed things, should’ve been the same at Chelsea. Keep going, COYI ⚒️
West Ham United@WestHam
It's three points at Turf Moor ✅
English
@Hammer_On_X @danwoff98 Yes - we announced a £57.2m profit in May 2024, detailed here whufc.com/en/financial-r…
Would be interested in these “crazy” costs, we rent a stadium and have portakabins as a training ground.
Given the above, any financial trouble since falls solely at the feet of one tiny man.
English
@J_Obern9 @danwoff98 Revenue means nothing when our costs are crazy, have we made a profit as a club in a recent tax year. 😭
Did the other shareholders also pull their money out, do you know we are in debt too?
So many questions, maybe get your colleagues to ask their sources real fan questions..
English
😂 If Disasi was our main target, it just shows the total incompetence the board have
We’ve conceded the most goals in the league, and the best they can do is bring in a player that’s made 13 appearances in the last 18 months
Not a financial masterstroke no matter how you spin it
⚒️ on 𝕏@Hammer_On_X
If Disasi was our main target, there was no point signing him early. He wouldn't have been played v Chelsea, Todibo & Mavro would have still been top picks. At £80k a week x 4 it would have cost us £320,000 extra for a sub. I wish him well & also hope Kilman picks up form.
English
@Hammer_On_X @danwoff98 None - he couldn’t even pull his wallet out for one of those 😂
Firstly, no relegated team in the past 10 years has anything close to the financial capability that we do, we have the 20th highest revenue in the world 😂 secondly - I don’t need revolution, just a half decent CB 👍🏻
English
@J_Obern9 @danwoff98 Which Salthouse client came in this Jan?
Tell me which relegation threatened team owners has managed to bring in players that revolutionise the clubs chances of staying up in the past ten years during 1 transfer window.
English
@Hammer_On_X @danwoff98 You’re nearly there - the fact we haven’t or couldn’t is why I’m angry. There are plenty of profiles across Europe, or the Championship, who could’ve improved us, and would’ve come if we were prepared to pay what they’re worth.
English
@danwoff98 @J_Obern9 Clearly we haven't or couldn't, Disasi was reluctant to come - doesn't that tell you enough to not get too angry with a third of the season left.
English
@Hammer_On_X Given we’ve operated multiple times this season with 3 cb’s at once, at least 5 senior. Not sure of your point though? I quite frankly don’t care about David Sullivan saving himself a few grand, a starting quality centre back shouldve walked through the door first week of January
