The West Ham United faithful have become disillusioned by their team in recent weeks. The Hammers suffered a home defeat courtesy of Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United at the weekend – a result that leaves Manuel Pellegrini’s side languishing in the bottom half of the table.
The club put out a tweet on Thursday evening advertising how fans can book travel and accommodation for the weekend’s trip to Burnley. These supporters have seen it as an opportunity to voice their displeasure at the current situation the team finds itself in.
I have watched the hammers since the late 50s and cannot remember a side who made so many excuses, now we have players playing practice jokes on each other while we are loosing, Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds would not have stood for it and the biggest prankster is Mark Noble

I’ll be turning up as usual along with a couple of thousand others giving our all for the club. Any chance the selected team could do the same please.

What do we think?
West Ham have failed to win any of their last five Premier League games and there’s no sign of things getting easier with a trip to Turf Moor followed by a London derby with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Hammers were widely expected to kick on under Pellegrini but there seems to be very or little progress of late and patience with the 66-year-old. The Chilean, a Premier League winner with Manchester City back in 2013/14, is no doubt a top-quality manager but it remains to be seen whether he is the man to deliver the levels of consistency West Ham’s passionate supporters demand from their club.
