It's happening all over again. We, the supporters, knew in our heart of hearts that Roeder wasn't good enough.However, being long suffering hammers, we decided to give him a prolonged benefit of the doubt - extended further when he was struck down with health problems. The same is happening with Pardew. The majority wanted Ian Dowie as manager, despite the fact that he would probably have been the ugliest west ham manager ever!!!, but were prepared to give Pardew a shot at handling our club. Signings have flattered to deceive. Jobi couldn't hack it with us, yet was good enough to give us an absolute roasting in Cardiff. Does that mean that the manager isn't good enough at motivating. Sad to say it, but we're not half the team without Teddy up front - and he's 37/38. Doesn't bode well for the future!!! Christ i hope we beat millwall!!!
