Posted on 01 September 2016.

Valencia? Koeman is nobody’s fool!
Posted on 01 September 2016.
When you hold on to your best and lose one who really hasn’t been doing it for you, then it’s fair to say West Ham United have enjoyed a good transfer window. Dimi Payet stays… Enner Valencia goes – that sounds great doesn’t it but before progressing the thought I will take a breath and […]

The truth behind the lies: What really happened outside the Boleyn Ground
Posted on 13 May 2016.
As someone who was there outside the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday afternoon/evening, I’ve found the reports in the media about the behaviour of our fans absolutely disgusting.
