Arsène Wenger chasing sweet revenge over José Mourinho, plus Andy Carroll, Michu and Stephen Ireland back in action 1) Wenger seeking revenge in 1,000th game Should Arsène Wenger still be smarting from the barbed “specialist in failure” comments that José Mourinho directed at him earlier in the season, then there would be no better revenge than a victory at Stamford Bridge in his 1,000th game in charge. Even better for Wenger, a win …

• Nolan scores twice in 2-0 win at Aston Villa • Hammers’ 12 clean sheets is the most in the League West Ham have the hallmarks of a Sam Allardyce team again. Over the course of a dozen years the 59-year-old has established a reputation as one of the most unapologetically efficient managers. It is no coincidence his teams have never been relegated from the top flight. While others flaunted possession-based football, Allardyce…

Back-to-back wins. Clean sheets galore. Kevin Nolan on form. Out of the bottom three. Pretty much everything that could be going right for us at the moment going right.

After the famine, the feast. This had been a strangely barren season for Kevin Nolan, an ignominious campaign in which he had had as many red cards as goals, but it has been transformed in the space of eight days. February has already yielded successive braces for West Ham’s captain. Once again, he is gorging himself on goals. Once again, he is winning them matches, rather than handing opponents an advantage. Nolan’s patron merits some…

With Andy Carroll suspended, we’re kind of back to square one when it comes to selecting a full strength side. We all know how important Carroll is to Allardyce’s approach and style of play, and we saw that in full flow last Saturday in the 2-0 victory over Swansea. But there are positives. Winston Reid… Read more »

Arsenal v Hull City, 7.45pm In praise of Arsenal’s defence What a pleasure it must be for a football manager etching out a team sheet when the first five names more or less write themselves. Goalkeeper. Right-back. Two centre-halves. Left-back. No pauses, no undue worries, as one name weaves seamlessly into the next to make a superglued defensive mass: SzczesnySagnaMertesackerKoscielnyGibbs. It has felt like ages…

Substitutions Watching West Ham over the last couple of seasons, and especially the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a pretty frustrating trend going on with the substitutions Big Sam is making week in, week out at West Ham, and this came to a peak at home to Villa last weekend, where some of the substitutions being made by Big Sam were really quite frightening. I’m only intending this as a quick rant at Allardyce’s…
