Agree wholeheartedly with the postings asking why fans boo their team. How is this supposed to motivate the players? Why do some fans behave like this?

Its interesting that this mainly occurs at home matches. Whenever I go to away matches whatever the score or performance we support the players often with great humor not barrack them. It makes me despair.

It's definitely only a one match ban so no need to panic.

When you think of it we should not be having this discussion. For a club who's top of the league and yet we haven't got an automatic second choice goalkeeper - its scandalous. Our defensive cover especially full backs isn't much better either. Yet we have far too many attackers. The balance is all wrong.

This should have been sorted out long ago. I feel sorry for Stech - what he must think of the situation God only knows. It certainly won't give him any confidence so on that basis Boffin should play.

I had the luck to be at the match last night. Keeping with the Blackpool theme it certainly was a roller coaster. The first half we were definitely in charge playing some great football. With the chances we had 4-0 would have been a reasonable reflection on our dominance. When we conceded on their first meaningful attack just on half time a few of us thought that would give them a lift especially with Holloway's half time talk.

Blackpool came out strongly in the second half and were causing us problems. When Green got sent off and with no recognized goalkeeper on the bench I thought a draw would be a good result.

We dug in and worked our socks off and Blackpool failed to put Lansbury under any real pressure. All players contributed but a special mention to Noble who looked completely knackered at the end and no wonder he covered every blade of grass, was vocal to his team mates and was man of the match in every sense of the word. Nolan cannot be captain again. There was an incident towards the end where Vaz Te was feigning injury to waste time and Noble went over to him and obviously told him we'd be better off playing than mucking about. Vaz Te did the same very near the end and then Carlton Cole dragged him to his feet. If I was little disappointed in any player it was Vaz Te. Yes he scored but his overall work rate was disappointing. he obviously has talent but he needs to be more of a team player.

A great night and the crowd were great. We're that good we even predicted when the team would score. 'We're going to score in a minute' rang out just before Tomkins scored!!

The headline in the Blackpool local paper today reads 'Well and truly Hammered' which nicely sums up our performance.

Thanks for taking the time to do this interview. We will all look forward to reading the inside info.

Iain, as an ex resident of Theydon Bois I often wondered what his house was like on the inside as on the outside it looks so palatial. Please tell us.

Truly Awful - my granny etc etc.. could have scored

Well said Shropshire I was embarrassed to be a West Ham fan with that unnecessary outburst. Couldn't they save their voices to support their team.

Shropshire also nails the performance. Jekyll and Hide without a doubt. Dreadful in the first half - thank god for what they put in the tea at half time!!. CC made all the difference. Carew I'm afraid was like a statue. I disagree regarding Diop who I thought did OK. Nolan for sure is still playing football in Newcastle because he's not giving his all for the Hammers.

Come on guys we did win. Yes it wasn't pretty to watch but another 3 points in the bag. Forget the 'West Ham way' I for one don't care what it takes to get back to the Prem!

Interesting formation from Devo. I would certainly like to see a positive lineup given the confidence that must be there from Saturday.

Game is also being broadcast on 5live Sports Extra.

I agree with BJNambia. Clearly bringing in Almunia means our reserve goalkeepers are no good in which case why wasn't action taken during the summer to address this issue. This smacks of very bad management which could have serious repercussions over the period Green is out.

I understand Almunia has hardly played this season so presumably we will be playing 10 across the park today!!.
