Excellent, guaranteed the drop with him

Not really surprising he was crap at us but I reckon he keeps West Ham up. I reckon most managers do as that squad is good. It's just not working out for Moyes there. A change of manager and they'll fly up the table even if it is Benitez

Or maybe we could stop buying expensive players from relegated clubs and then acting affronted that we’re once again fighting relegation??

Yes, good point. Unfortunately that would require a well organised scouting department.

Why oh why oh why did we have to leave Lampard in charge for the Southampton and West Ham games

It wouldn’t surprise me if Kenwright tried to use his influence to hold off as long as possible in the expectation/hope that Moyes was fired

Still tight. Important we don’t get carried away with winning yesterday. Results don’t go our way next week and we could be back in the bottom three and playing away at Arsenal next.

Hope not, WHU have some decent players - give them a CL winning manager and I think they'll shoot up the table.

Definitely

We will undoubtedly yo-yo in and out if the bottom three for a considerable period of the remainder of the season

Mind blowing

Looking at next weekend’s fixtures, if we can manage another win it could be massive. That would put us within 4 points of villa in 11th, while Leicester play arsenal and wolves away to Fulham. Just hope we work on our finishing this week.

Hope West Ham appoint Benitez, who’s got form for relegating clubs when taking over mid season.

To be in the relegation places at this stage of the season is a shocking return from Moyes with that group of players, he was backed so heavily in the summer to add to what was already a decent squad and he is performing miserably.

I'd be shocked if he wasn't sacked after this result. It's only past credit in the bank that has probably saved him thus far. As Leeds and Southampton have found out however, if you don't act somewhat decisively your aren't exactly spoilt for choice.

He will get the Forest game. Lose that and they will ditch Moyes. Personally I think they will creep away from it employing similar defensive tactics to us but with greater attacking options. 3 nice home fixtures in their next 5
