Lose again
Fas want them to spend big. They do. And it guarantees nothing.
They are a team of expensive individuals, injury prone and past it players and egos!
They look a right mess.

I still fully expect them to stay up. They'll escape again.

Very even game, Wolves keeper made 2 top drawer saves and Wolves missed a sitter, draw would have been fair

As amusing as West Spam's woes are,i'm more concerned with us getting our own house in order,before laughing at others.

I don't think it's about laughing at others...but west ham fans reap what they sow a lot of the time. They don't want this/that manager.they don't want to play a certain way. I used to like them but there fans have delusions of grandeur these days..and they should be careful what they wish for they don't even have a ground. If the owners have it away on their toes the club could be in a bit of a mess!

West Ham demonstrate that it's not just foreign owners that ruin fine institutions

Can't disagree with any of the above,they wanted sexy football,they wanted big money signings,and lastly they wanted a high profile manager,well now they've got all three and still they aren't happy,i bet David Moyes has a rueful grin tonight.
It's all well and good having a taxpayer funded stadium,but West Ham have lost their identity,you knew Upton Park would be a tough assignment for any away team,but most visitors to the London Stadium enjoy the experience.

Where as Blackburn combine foreign owners, with a club that treaded water in the the nether regions of English football, for decades. To prove that Jack walkers ill gotten millions, will only polish a turd for so long. But at the end of the day, it's still .......
