Our West Ham fans here in the Transfer Tavern have been discussing the latest news about their club to come their way and, unsurprisingly, it’s not been positive.
It’s been a season of setbacks for the club, truth be known, and after a brief positive coming at the weekend where they beat Swansea, they’ve been dealt another blow.
Indeed, this one comes in the shape of Michail Antonio being ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.
The versatile star has been one of the club’s best players this year but will now not play any more part in 2016/17 with Slaven Bilic confirming as such in his press conference via the club’s official Twitter account:
BILIC: “We are without @Michailantonio. It’s a significant injury and he’s out for the season. @Noble16Mark picked up a tenth yellow card.”

Naturally, then, Hammers fans were not best pleased on Twitter and so here is the best of the reaction:
