Im back after a few days break expecting half the West Ham team to be sold off in what the media have called the West Ham fire sale, but it seems we have only have Widdowson out on loan to Grimsby, not quite what the red tops promised us.

Its early days yet and a few players will obviously be found new homes, but it will only be our fringe players. The rumour about Parker being offered £100k a week by Man City is interesting and a new offer for him around £12m could actually see him go, if its true.

The daily Mail have this amazing ability to see through walls and hear what is going on in every Premier League boardroom about who’s being sold, we all love the Daily Mail.

I cant see Zola letting any of his best players go unless the player wanted to go and an amazing silly amount of money was offered to the Hammers for him.

Watching the game against Man city today, what went through my head about West hams performance was that they were useless,gutless and a total joke.

There’s no excuse saying it’s because we were ten men down when Noble went off, because we were rubbish from the start. And no excuses for injuries either, because we had enough out there today to at least play better, even if we still lost.

In saying this, it’s evident that we need players brought in, in the form of a forward and at the very least a creative midfielder to make the difference. But even then will this be enough with Curbs in charge.

Before anyone says I’m one of the Curbs out gang, I just want to say that I’ve supported him in the past, even after the dull football we played last season. But after watching us in the second half of the Wigan game and at Man city , it seemed eerily like the style of football the hammers played last season. And even though I am willing to give Curbs a chance, even after the dull games last season, I don’t want to see that style of football at our beloved club again.

Yes we need BG to open his wallet and strengthen the squad, but even so, there is no excuse for these type of performances. Because if Curbishley doesn’t give this squad a kick up the backside, and this continues regardless of new players coming in or not…those doors at West Ham will be opening and shutting at the club, with whispers in the corridors of his head on the block.

Today was dreadful.

Today’s game against the blues was nothing short of pathetic, Noble getting himself a red card left a struggling Hammers side in an even worse predicament.

The Hammers were very reminiscent of the second half of last season which proves that more players are needed. So what do we need? without doubt we have to get a creative midfielder who can at least get some balls into Ashton or Bellamy when fit, we definitely need a striker, somebody with a proven record that will compete for place with Bellamy and Ashton.

If we stay as we are now with the players we have i cant even see us reaching 10th place, it is still early days yet and we may beat Blackburn 3-0 next week.

I did not expect a win today, but i did expect to see a fairly good performance which i am sure would have made us all happy, but instead we played rubbish football, rubbish passing and we was very lucky to only suffer a 3-0 defeat.

Curbishley cannot be pleased with his tactics on this game and will probably blame the loss because we have players out injured, and then i dare say he will say he needs judging only when he has a fully fit squad.

Man City are going through some boardroom problems, with their Chairman being a fugitive and now he wants to resign, this will undoubtedly effect the players which could be a big advantage to West Ham. We at West Ham went through troubles of our own last season with the Tevez saga and then Sheff Utd taking the Hammers to every court they could think off, but failing every time.

This is certainly the best time to be playing Man City and hopefully come away with a win.

After their opening match defeat by Aston Villa, Manchester City will want a much better result versus West Ham United on Sunday. City
are slight favourites, but the Hammers should be taken into account as well.

City won four of the last six clashes between the two clubs, and the other two ended in draws. The last meeting had a 1-1 draw as result.

COYI Prediction Odds are 1-1 Draw 37.2% of Members.
