James McCarthy has been getting truckloads of abuse for his challenge on Dimitri Payet

James McCarthy is about as popular as Big Sam and the Millwall mascot around Upton Park at the minute.

A tackle from the Everton midfielder has left West Ham's star man Dimitri Payet out of action for three months. The challenge came during the 1-1 draw on Saturday and the Republic of Ireland international, who earned a yellow card for the tackle, is now facing the wrath of some furious Hammers calling for retrospective punishment and a little bit more. Just to warn you, some of it is pretty disgusting. https://twitter.com/Chadstacca/status/663766113004687360 https://twitter.com/chrismay77734/status/663766065521041409 https://twitter.com/mehlman_nathan/status/663766018523840512 https://twitter.com/leebrown22/status/663765992645009408 https://twitter.com/LewisW22/status/663765911451627520 https://twitter.com/Matthew_Ware_II/status/663761793022586880 https://twitter.com/whufc98/status/663765789988823040 https://twitter.com/MounirB8/status/663767140995047424 https://twitter.com/RyanMailey1/status/663769124909277185 https://twitter.com/JessicaBath95/status/663768629016698880 https://twitter.com/benbrookes1234/status/663768102761594884
