Managing West Ham can be lonely old job, admits Pardew

ALAN PARDEW admitted last night that managing West Ham can be a “lonely old horrible job” after results like yesterday’s home defeat by Reading.

West Ham have not won since the opening weekend of the season, have not scored in 488 minutes of football and are yet to keep a clean sheet.

The Hammers were dumped out of the UEFA Cup in midweek and have now lost five on the bounce.
