West Ham United have made an oh-so-terrible start to the new Premier League campaign and with just four games gone, fans know very well that finishing in the top 10 will be nothing short of luxury for the team.
The Hammers have lost each and every game in the league so far which included so tough opponents like Arsenal and Liverpool and so really easy ones like AFC Bournemouth and Wolves.
Manuel Pellegrini has spent huge amounts of money during the summer transfer window but he does not even have a single point to show for it. And what has infuriated the fans, even more, is the fact that the Chilean has chosen to jet set on a holiday during the international break.
The Hammers have gobbled up 10 goals in the league so far while managing to score only two – and one of them was for the penalty spot.
So clearly when the club decided to announce the Goal of the Month contenders, fans just lost their cool.

And we seriously do not blame them because here’s a team who have scored only a single goal from open-play who are planning to give out a Goal of the Month award.
So we decided to pick some of the reactions from the fans:
Surely a piss take?

Returning from the International break, things will certainly not get any easier since they travel to Merseyside to take on Everton after which they play Chelsea at home in the London Derby.
And looking at these fixtures, it’s pretty hard to see the Hammers climbing out of that relegation zone anytime soon.
