West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has delivered a strong message to fans of the club in conversation with Sky Sports.

The midfield talent has been one of the below par performers in the West Ham team that has struggled to find the same electric form that saw them do so well in Slaven Bilic’s first season at the club.

Speaking to Sky Sports he made it clear that he and the rest of the West Ham team care about winning matches for the club and stated that anyone who thought otherwise was very incorrect:

“A lot of fans around the country and I’m not just talking West Ham fans, think that: ‘Oh footballers get paid well, so if they lose it doesn’t matter, they just go home to their nice cars and houses, and it doesn’t matter.’

“I can assure you that isn’t the case. You do care. And I can assure you the players in there care, every one of them.”

He then went on to discuss the West Ham fans. He had a strong message, suggesting that the Hammers fans who can’t behind the team through this rough patch should not bother supporting the team at all:

“But I’ve always said, and I believe I can say it because I’ve been here since I was a kid and have supported West Ham my whole life; if you can’t support West Ham through times like this then why support us at all?

“I mean it was great last year, we had spells where the fans were unhappy, we lost a couple of games, but the real fans and the fans who have stuck by us all these years will stay behind us I am sure.”

West Ham have struggled to find any form this season. They were knocked out of the Europa League by Astra Giurgiu and have not had it any easier in the league where they currently occupy 18^th position.

But the club are getting some of their main absentees back from injury and if the West Ham fans can continue to get behind the team in this tough period it will surely only be a matter of time before they turn things around.
