Keily lets one slip
Quite evident that the West Ham troubles are now much more than just tactics and organisation.
I see Dean Keily is sticking his nose in now, and I can't help thinking that people inside the camp have been leaking information, possibly even Alan himself (indirectly.)
Kiely told BBC Sport: "I DOUBT ALAN HAS EVER HAD SUCH DISHARMONEY AT A CLUB and his body language shows he is unhappy.
"But he must now set the tone. He has the skills, and will not walk away - but he may not get the time he needs."

All over
Well that's it, all over.
And what a way to go.
Just when there was the chance to draw a line under what had been a truly horrid season.
Just when a fixture came up and said 'it's alright, all is forgiven, get through this, and push on for survival.'
Just when it was thought that all the bad stuff was over and there was a belated new start.
Charlton 4-0 West Ham
The worst yet.
Inept, abject, abhorent.
Thoroughly deserved, a shambles of a side, a big club on its knees.
I'm speechless tonight.
Championship here we come, and in what style too.
Beat Manchester United at home, beat Arsenal at home, lose 5-0 at Reading and 4-0 at Charlton.
Chokers.
And relegated.

Pardew criticism - what of Curbs?
I see Eggert has come out criticising Alan Pardew this week. Some pretty harsh words being said, and certainly not reflective of the man who so publicly put his support behind Pards when he first took over at Upton Park.
While it's no secret the two obviously aren't best buddies right now, I don't really see the sense in coming out and making a statement like this so publicly.
It certainly won't help how Curbishley must be feeling at the moment, and I bet there are very few job security vibes going around at the moment.
If you missed what Eggert said :
"The key factor was that something was just not right in the dressing room.
"There was no purpose to talk about it publicly at the time. Tension had been building between the players and the manager for a while."

All over for Audley
It's all very well to watch boxing on the telly and scream that sometimes they just don't look as if they are trying, but in the case of the man-mountain Audley Harrison it was just all too true all too often.
A man with talent, fight, verve and sheer power, but someone who frequently chose not to use it when it looked so easy to do so.
Redeemed himself against Danny Williams before Christmas but the previous meeting was as sterile an affair as you could imagine, and unfortunately all that same apathy was there again as Sprott took him down on Saturday night.
A sad sad way to go, but I do truly feel that this is the end now for AH.
Goodbye to the nearly man.

Lucas Neill
I was at Upton Park today doing a bit of media week and it seems that Neill's injury isn't as bad as first thought - so he could be back for the Charlton game.
Still sums up our season though with him and Upson.
Losing faith, losing hope!
