Before the win over Arsenal, the decibel levels on the noise around David Moyes’ future at West Ham had started to amp up once again.
There is no hiding the fact the Hammers have let a very promising start to the season fade away in the last couple of months.

And the pressure is back on after the 3-2 defeat against Brentford. The rumour mill over Moyes’ future is whirring again.
There are stories from the likes of One Football attributing quotes to Moyes about the fact he is under pressure which are actually from last year.
There have also been stories about technical director Tim Steidten identifying Moyes’ potential replacement and polls on social media about whether Moyes should be sacked.
So Hammers News has spoken to a key contact inside West Ham for clarification on the situation.
The top West Ham source has delivered an emphatic response to fresh Moyes sack talk but makes an honest admission.
‘We like to honour contracts and expect to’
The contact has described rumours around Moyes’ job as ‘rubbish’ but admits things must improve.
“Rubbish,” the source told us when asked whether there was any substance to the latest Moyes rumours.
“But we need to start winning again.
“No clean sheets all season and one win in seven isn’t good enough.
“But we like to honour contracts and expect to.”
Moyes’ current contract expires at the end of the season.
After the Gunners win, the West Ham manager was bullish when questions were raised about speculation that had bubbled to the surface over his future. He shut down a Sky Sports reporter in defiant manner.
But just a few days later his players put him back in the spotlight with their performance at Brentford.
This, though, puts fresh talk to bed with a clear caveat that things must improve.
