Mark Noble Statement

Dear fellow Hammer,

I am writing to you as a proud captain and lifelong supporter of our great football club, West Ham United.

We have eight Premier League matches left to play and, if we win three or four of them, we should achieve what every one of us wants to achieve and that is stay in this division.

Five of those eight games are at London Stadium and, with your energy and support from the stands, we will have a much better chance of getting the wins we need. As I’ve said many times, results are all that matter, and that is true now, more than ever.

Our last home game against Burnley was one of my toughest days in nearly 20 years at West Ham, and I never want to see scenes like that again. None of us do. I desperately want us to do well and for everyone to be happy, players and fans, but that day was one which none of us can look back on with any pride.

We need everyone to be together and to be behind the team, because positive vibes really do inspire the players on the pitch. On the flip side, negativity can undoubtedly affect players’ concentration and confidence, as I believe it did in the second half against Burnley.

We need you all, full-stop, and we cannot perform to our best and win the matches we need to win without you. When you are on song, there really are no supporters better at inspiring their team than West Ham supporters.

I can understand the frustrations some of you are feeling. This season has not gone how we’d all hoped it would, but I would ask you to channel your passion to get behind the team, help us get through the season with our Premier League status intact, and we can sit down and reassess things in the summer.

We need the London Stadium to be buzzing for our five remaining home games, so please unite behind the lads and give us the best possible chance to deliver the results we need to stay up.

Come on you Irons!

Mark Noble Interview

Redknapp: That was your 49th goal for West Ham in the 4-1 win at Huddersfield, but what was that celebration about and will you have something special for your 50th?

Mark Noble: No! I’m not into all that. I just scored and, because I was the furthest up the pitch and because the crowd are quite close at Huddersfield, I got there quickly and there was nobody with me. So I just folded my arms. I didn’t know what else to do!

Redknapp: It was good to see you smiling, but it hasn’t always been that way. It’s almost like you’ve had a whole career in one season. It started badly and the new signings didn’t settle quickly, either.

Mark Noble: You have to hit the ground running at West Ham. If you don’t, suddenly from the fans it’s, ‘You’re not good enough to play for our football club’. Even Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano had that when they were here.

That’s what it is like. You can win them over, though. When you do, the West Ham fans can make you feel like you are the best player in the world. But they will not give that to you. You have to earn it.

Redknapp: Like Marko Arnautovic. Did you speak to him?

Mark Noble: Yes, of course. I’m the captain. It’s my job. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Marko. I’m not taking any credit for his turn-around because he has done that. He’s a top player. He’s won them over.

His work-rate is incredible. If you know Marko, he talks a lot, he has his swagger, but he’s such a nice fella. I used to row with him when we played Stoke.

We were losing and he was rolling his foot across the ball, doing the rabonas, the lot. I wiped him out on purpose and then I pulled him up by his hair. He stood up… he looked about 6ft 5in! I was like a 12-year-old next to him.

We joke about it now. Like Manuel Lanzini, these are the players who make a difference. They are such good players. They are on the same wavelength, like Silva and De Bruyne at Man City, Ozil and Sanchez at Arsenal.

Redknapp: You lost Payet last season. That left a hangover.

Mark Noble: Technically incredible, the moments he gave us all in that last season at the Boleyn, incredible. He made everyone a better player. When you don’t have that player, of course it leaves a hole.

Redknapp: You had a lot of respect for Slaven Bilic, but sometimes you need a change, a different voice.

Mark Noble: We had two and a half unbelievable seasons together and he is a proper gentleman. I wanted it to work for him so much.

I was trying so much, I was getting myself out of position because I wanted to make things happen. I was over-trying. But we all know what happens if you don’t win games.

Redknapp: David Moyes has come in and done a good job. What was the feeling when he got the job?

Mark Noble: Sorry if this sounds like a cliche, but we really needed to get back to basics. We needed to defend. To stop conceding and be organised.

We had a meeting, we talked it through. He said: ‘Don’t moan at me in two months’ time if we spend time working on shape, on being organised’. I think you can see the benefits of that.

Redknapp: I hate it when new managers say a team isn’t fit. But you looked off the pace.

Mark Noble: We were fit. Unless you are a terrible professional, you are fit. But there is a next level of Premier League fitness.

I watch a lot of football and you hardly ever see Premier League players go down with cramp. The fitness, the intensity of Premier League football is phenomenal.

If eight of you are on it, you lose. You need all of you, every one of you, on it. If you are not, this manager will tell you.

His communication is excellent, consistent. The players know. His attention to detail is first class. And he has a good squad to work with here. Professionals, players with skill, athletes…

Redknapp: The team look in good shape. There was a period of time when that wasn’t the case.

Mark Noble: That all comes because of confidence within the team. You’re right. We were all over the place. You know the feeling when you come off and you think, ‘I couldn’t even get close enough today to make a tackle’.

The ball moves so quick in this league. When it comes naturally, it works, but when you have to take a touch and then think, it’s gone.

I use the example of Fernando Torres. At Liverpool, unplayable. He goes to Chelsea, it’s the same geezer, same athlete, same person, but the confidence is gone and it’s different.

When you’ve played well, it’s like auto-pilot. When you are not doing that, your head feels like it will explode.

Redknapp: Do you feel it more because you are the local boy?

Mark Noble: I hate for people to think that I have only played for West Ham because I am the local lad and people make allowances for me.

So every day, I work hard. I was 12, I think, when I used to watch Frank Lampard putting his spikes on and doing sprints at the training ground.

And then me and my mate, we’d take a bus from East London to Essex, take our own ball, play for five or six hours, just messing around with the ball.

I remember seeing Paolo Di Canio coming in on a day off with his own fitness coach… those memories stay with me. The hunger of those players to be the best.

I still get nervous before every single training session. Even now. No word of a lie. It will never change. It’s inside me. I want to be the best player in training every day.

When we get to the 5-a-side, I want to be the best player there. I’m honest enough to know that might not always happen!

When you have players like Manuel, Marko, Dimitri Payet, Carlos Tevez, that is not going to happen because they are the best.

Redknapp: It’s not easier for you, it’s harder for you. You carry the weight of expectation of the fans. You are one of them.

Mark Noble: I have an inner desire. You’ve got to have the ability, but 90 per cent of the game now at the top level is the mental side. Coping with being booed, dealing with not winning every week and the impact it has on you.

Jamie, I was thinking about this the other day. In my career, adding up the days I have actually enjoyed it between the ages of 17 and 30, they total about six months. I’ll be honest and say that. Out of 13 years.

I’ve had some unbelievable times, but the week-to-week games, if we don’t win… it ruins me. If we do win, I spend the next week worrying about how we can win again. I’ve never been able to relax and enjoy it. I have a fear of failure.

My wife, Carley, will say that I have to relax a bit. It has changed a little since we’ve had the kids, but you worry about the results, you care about how you play. You feel it because it’s your club.

The thing I will never do here is hide from that. I am doing what I always wanted to do. I am captain of West Ham. It means everything to me.

Redknapp: Who are the best you have played with in your time here?

Mark Noble: Teddy Sheringham was amazing. You would give him the ball and his pass back was so good, it didn’t just come to feet, it hit the middle stripe of your adidas boot!

Carlos Tevez came in and I scored six goals — he set up all six! And then there was Payet. On the field, in training, he was so good.

Redknapp: West Ham could be busy in this transfer window… does that bother you?

Mark Noble: I want West Ham to buy the best players. I want them to spend £50million on a central midfielder. Yeah. bring it on.

I want West Ham to do well. For the fans, the chef, for Shirley in the kitchen, who was here when your dad was manager, for Jimmy Frith who comes in to help the coaches every day, keeps things ticking over and has been doing so since John Lyall brought him in.

I’ve known these people since I first came to the club. I want the very best for this club. I make sure, out of the players’ bonus, every staff member shares in that bonus. We can’t do it without them.

Redknapp: When I hear you talking about what the club means to you, it sounds like you might want to be the manager here one day.

Mark Noble: I’m really not convinced I want to be a manager at all. Managers are just wide open to abuse.

I was managed by Gianfranco Zola, who played at the highest level. No matter how good he was as a player, lose three games and it’s ‘get him out’. Do I need that? You don’t!

Alan Shearer had one go at Newcastle, got relegated and thought he’d sit and comment on the TV, like you. When the Nottingham Forest job came up they had 75 applicants.

Teddy Sheringham gets one go at Stevenage and now he’s managing in India. That’s Teddy, one of the top players.

Redknapp: Finally, the pie and mash… it’s good. My dad loves it. The full works. Jellied eels. But you can’t have too much of it, us athletes!

Mark Noble: I have the pie, the liquor, but no mash. My dad has it once a week, I have to keep it to the occasional treat.

We’ve beaten Huddersfield 4-1, we’re through to the fourth round of the FA Cup, but we have to be at it every game — three of the bottom 11 can still go down. We have to make sure we are not in that group.
