Perhaps its a good thing West Ham United are leaving town this weekend.Whether their visit to West Bromwich Albion will feature Tony Pulis still managing the home side remains to be seen.While trying to avoid the distraction of another ugly supporter incident, the Hammers look to keep from dropping their fourth consecutive overall contest Saturday against a Baggies group thats mired in their own dysfunction.If blowing an early 2-0 lead in last Saturdays stunning 4-2 home loss to Watford wasnt bad enough, West Ham (1-0-3) also took a hit in the public relations department.
