Fuck me, the pant-wetting has started early this season.
I genuinely think that things are pretty rosy at West Ham, save two far-from-insignificant facts -

(1)  The manager is being completely undermined by the board.

(2)  Nolan.  Who knows what the team will look like, but Nolan has to be an option not a guaranteed starter (unless we play Nolan and win every week in which case he undoubtedly deserves his place).  Can BFS drop Nolan? 

The board can't pick the team but surely they can get an idea from him whether he is going to try other things other than Nolan.  If BFS can reassure them that other options in the hole will be tried then back him (and shut the fuck up PROPERLY) - if not sack him.
