That’s right, Saturday’s spanking by Mourinho’s Chelsea at home has dropped the Hammers right in it. The Hammers now find themselves sitting precariously above the dropzone with just Fulham, Crystal Palace and Sunderland propping them up.
Just a dismal 10 points from 12 games has turned the club into the whipping boys for the rest of the English Premier League.

Coupled with the fact that West Ham United have Winston Reid out and no sign of Carroll returning just yet, the Hammers are in a very dangerous position even at the early stages of this new season. Clubs that West Ham are supposed to be beating are giving us a “run for their money”.
How many more spankings are we to receive before the board call time on Allardyce? The big man seems to have run out of ideas for the club who are poised to enter a new era with the move to the new Olympic Stadium. Does the board fully realise the consequences that West Ham could face if they end up back in the Championship?
“We knew we had to win this game because of the focus on us going into it. Our away form has not been good enough,” said ex Hammer Frank Lampard. “It was a complete performance. We dominated from the start, showed great intent and won it pretty comfortably.”
The club is running out of ideas and Allardyce has to take much of the flack. Wonderkid Ravel Morrison is probably living off borrowed time at the club if they don’t start pulling their socks up. A talent like that will surely be heading out of the door if things do not turn around soon. I saw him on Saturday and at times he doesn’t look like having a team around him that can read his magical moves. What does he have to do, do it all by himself?
The young man is a potential Messi or Ronaldo in the making and he cannot get top quality service. Players like him need to grow and mature and he needs like-minded people around him to help him do that. Sadly, after watching Saturday’s game, it’s your guess against mine if the Hammers hope to hang onto such a raw talent.
West Ham’s next game is against Fulham at the Boleyn ground and we need to start sticking the goals in. If they fail in their quest to spank Fulham then the Hammers deserve to be in the dropzone.
