A late equaliser from substitute Javier Hernandez was enough for David Moyes’ West Ham United to pick up a hugely important point in the complexion of the Premier League relegation battle against Antonio Conte’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. On a day that was dedicated to the memory of the Blues and England legend Ray Wilkins, who sadly passed away aged 61 last week, Cesar Azpilicueta gave the home …

Ball of confusion and the last saviour’s temptation
Posted on 03 April 2018.
Those fans coming away from the match on Saturday at the London Stadium in which West Ham hosted Southampton, could hardly be blamed for harbouring a sense of bewilderment after witnessing such a display from the reps of the claret and blue. It was less a justification of doubting Thomas’s but rather a vindication of reality that much of the fans have come to terms with over the last couple of seasons. The sense of …

Why Can’t We Blame the Russians for Our Siberian Winter?
Posted on 14 March 2018.
The blame game is the folly of those who would stand, stare and sneer without any inward reflection. The West Ham woes are a collection of failings that may have coincidental sources but none are so grand to be identified as solitary causes. “We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your…

Jaws and the Piranha: “We’re gonna need a bigger boat!”
Posted on 26 February 2018.
“Piranha hunt in packs – not for protection, but for overwhelming force. They’re organised, methodical. The first bite draws blood. The blood draws the pack” – Mr Goodman – Piranha Our enforced ‘vaycay’ was supposed to give us the opportunity to get all of our ducks in a row, regroup after a good win and make a charge to flatten the spirits of any red barons. It has been another tumultuous period in our…

Racy Reds Prove Too Hot To Handle For Hapless Hammers At Anfield
Posted on 26 February 2018.
A barnstorming attacking performance from Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool saw them add to David Moyes’ Anfield misery by thrashing his West Ham United team 4-1 at the ground in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Tortugan Pirates
Posted on 29 January 2018.
Long gone the days when a football team would be littered with boys from the local area and owned by fully committed likely lads. English teams flirted with overseas players with some exceptions to mostly dire performers who failed to hit the high note. Anyone remember Alberto Tarantini who signed for Birmingham City in the 1978 after winning the World Cup with Argentina? I do…barely! He was supposed to bring us football fans a taste of foreign flair but all…

Reasons to be cheerful
Posted on 15 August 2017.
I was honestly never that optimistic that I’d be sat here writing a first post season kick off article laden with superlatives about our performance at Old Trafford. Even with the undisputable strengthening of the squad that has taken place in recent weeks, it was always going to be an uphill battle from minute one, and so it proved. One thing I was hopeful of, which proved to be in vain, was that the clubs support would acknowledge the good…

Fredi Kanouté: ‘Muslims have to prove they are not terrorists before talking’ | Paul Doyle

Instead the former West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Sevilla striker shares stages around the world with extraordinary characters such as Emi Mahmoud, a former Darfur…

Keep the faith Joe Cole
Posted on 05 December 2013.
Joe Cole has been in the press a lot this week and not always for the right reasons. He scored a great goal against Fulham on Saturday to give us a 3-0 lead. Cole was taken off after 26 minutes against Chelsea and went straight down the tunnel because he was rightly frustrated. Everyone seemed to make a very big deal out of it but I don’t really think there’s any need. Leaving and not staying to watch the game didn’t look very…
