TalkSPORT presenter Simon Jordan got into a heated debate with West Ham fans following their damaging 6-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
West Ham’s Shocking Form
West Ham have just 1 win in 8 games, with their last victory coming against Arsenal towards the end of December.
Since then, Hammers fans have seen their side knocked out of the FA Cup at the hands of Championship side Bristol City, draws against Brighton, Sheffield United and Bournemouth, and a pitiful 3-0 loss to Manchester United.
However, Sunday’s 6-0 defeat to Premier League high-flyers Arsenal seemed to be the most damaging result yet, and West Ham fans have lost patience with manager David Moyes.

Simon Jordan’s 1st West Ham Caller
On talkSPORT’s phone-in session with Simon Jordan, two Hammers fans had a heated debate with the opinionated presenter.
First of all, caller Steph bemoaned her team’s (lack of) defence and suggested that David Moyes is living on past glories, saying: “Things have got to change. We have a defensive manager yet we’ve just shipped six goals, three to United and five to Fulham, as well as getting knocked out of the FA Cup to Bristol City.
“If you’re shipping goals your defence is a problem, and that’s down to Moyes who picks the team, he can’t always blame the players.”
“Simon, in business, if you have something like Marks & Spencer or John Lewis, do they stand up at a shareholders meeting and say, ‘Sorry our results are so poor this financial year but three years ago we made a profit’?
Jordan replied: “You can give context though to David Moyes and look back and say ‘We beat Arsenal and Man United 2-0’.
“He can give you context about Europe and the league position, what you’re doing is looking at the last month, and the outcomes you’ve got whether or not you like the way you play, is unarguable.”
David Moyes, you have the chance to do the funniest thing…

Jordan’s 2nd West Ham Caller
Jordan then heard from West Ham fan Reece, who seemed to irk Jordan by trash-talking the talkSPORT presenter’s former side, Crystal Palace.
Reece said: “I was very much Moyes in until the end of the year. Since beating Arsenal 2-0 we’ve been absolutely atrocious.
“I think Moyes has been getting away with it.”
Jordan replied: “You’re not exactly the biggest team in the Premier League, you’ve got teams like Chelsea that are beneath you, so what are you on about?”
“We’re not an irrelevance in the league like Palace either.” Reece retorted.
Clearly irked, Jordan replied: “You’re not exactly a big noise either, the only big noise I hear from West Ham is from you lot complaining about what you haven’t got, and you haven’t got is bugger all over the past 40 years.”
Snapping back, caller Reece said: “The only people pushing this narrative are people that don’t watch us, we s***house games.”
Before Jordan closed the discussion with: “Well let’s hope you West Ham fans get exactly what you deserve.”
