Posted on 23 September 2016.
Maybe Slav is a supreme optimist but the news that Arthur Masuaku will be out for a minimum of six weeks came as a big surprise this morning given his report on the injury yesterday.

When Clattenburg out-ran Ogbonna – this is horrendous!
Posted on 23 September 2016.
There’s only one word to describe West Ham United at the moment – EMBARRASSING! Last week’s defeat at West Bromwich Albion was shocking…awful…possibly the most heartless performance I’ ve ever seen from a team in the claret and blue. It horrified me and there is something very very wrong with the set up at the […]

Hammers put pressure on ahead of Chelsea
Posted on 23 September 2016.
West Ham will insist that security is again beefed up ahead of the League Cup fourth round showdown with Chelsea.

Police expected inside stadium for Chelsea
Posted on 22 September 2016.
A strong police presence should be inside the London Stadium for the EFL fourth round clash against Chelsea in October. The Metropolitan Police cannot currently deploy officers inside the stadium to monitor match-day safety because it does not have the radio system used by emergency services.

Standing area finally sits down!
Posted on 22 September 2016.
Ironically, the softening of the club’s message on persistent standing had a bizarre reaction last night. A statement from the Joint Chairman published yesterday which appeared to deliberately avoid using the word ‘standing’ and threats for persistent standers were absent. In a blog yesterday I called this a victory for common sense. The new Bobby […]

Love a panic-up? Remember 85-86!
Posted on 22 September 2016.
