Could he turn out to be the good guy at West Ham?

We may only be four games into the season, 13th in the table and with one point less than at this stage last season, but Monday night’s 2-2 draw at Hull City has created a sense of optimism amongst fans. The team performed much better than in their inept display against Southampton and I believe… Read more »

The Boleyn Ground App – Document your best Upton Park memories

As each day passes we edge ever closer to saying goodbye to the Boleyn Ground.  The ground where we all fell in love with West Ham. The ground where we’ve both laughed and cried in delight or anguish. The ground where West Ham have proudly strutted their stuff for 110 years. But that is all… Read more »

FIVE things we learned from the draw at Hull

West Ham played against Hull City on Monday in what many were saying would be a make or break game for Sam Allardyce. All eyes were on team selection, tactics and the result. Unexpectedly Allardyce started the best team possible, got his tactics and substitutions spot on and the football on display was like the… Read more »

The stats don’t lie – West Ham’s unlikely new roaming midfielder?

Big Sam is a notorious stat man who reads into individual facts and figures more so than most managers. With this being the case, he would have loved the personal attributes of Stewart Downing who was simply brilliant against Hull on Monday. Although a lot of the plaudits went to Valencia for that absolute peach… Read more »

Hull 2-2 West Ham – Player Ratings

Sixty per cent possession, 17 attempts and a wonder goal – the new look West Ham was at the most part a great watch on Monday night. It was always looking like a match for the debutants and it was certainly that way for Hull City’s record-signing as Abel Hernandez beat Tomkins to an Elmohamady… Read more »

Is he 90 minutes away from the sack at West Ham?

David Sullivan and David Gold have so far been loyal to Sam Allardyce, despite the disappointment of last season and the continuous calls from the supporters to remove Big Sam from his current position. With the team having not picked up a home win so far this season and with the last performance against Southampton… Read more »

Where do West Ham’s new faces fit in?

The transfer window is over and the season is now fully underway with teams beginning to discover their best XIs. Our transfer business this summer has shown plenty of promise on paper but whether or not that can be reciprocated on the pitch remains to be seen.

So who exactly called the shots at West Ham this summer?

Finally another crazy a transfer deadline day is over. When we look at the business West Ham have done, I think it’s a good guess that most, if not all, fans will be very pleased. Nine new signings (yes, nine!) have graced the corridors of the Boleyn Ground this window.  But, typical of West Ham,… Read more »

Like asking a decorator to paint you a Picasso at West Ham?

Three games in and personally I’m yet to be convinced. The nine signings in the summer window are making us look a ‘very good squad,’ and I applaud the two Davids for their input. But, as we all know, three points out of nine and three home defeats before the end of August doesn’t bode… Read more »

Have we already seen the back of West Ham’s record signing?

On the whole, West Ham United’s start to the 2014/15 campaign has been a positive one. However, after Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to Southampton, some fans are asking the question: Are we realising how much we need Andy Carroll? After Carroll’s surprise signing in 2012/13, the Irons finished 10th in the table. Sam Allardyce’s plan… Read more »

Should the lack of Plan B be the final straw at West Ham?

For the second home league game, the fans have left Upton Park wondering, why didn’t we win this one? The obvious reason was because we lost but it is how we lost that is the main cause for concern. Against Spurs on the opening day, we didn’t take advantage when they went down to 10… Read more »

Should West Ham have bowed down to his demands?

Just over two years ago, West Ham pulled off something of a coup in signing Mohamed Diame from Wigan Athletic in order to boost the Hammers’ midfield upon returning to the top flight. The Senegal international joined on a free transfer with West Ham beating the likes of Liverpool to secure his signature. However, despite… Read more »

Kevin Nolan.

All the reaction as West Ham complete successful transfer window

Thanks god that’s all over. Nine new arrivals and fair bit of dead wood thrown out the door, it has been one of the best transfer windows for the club in recent history. We’ve had the chance to see our new arrivals, apart from today’s new man Morgan Amalfitano, and there’s a lot of enthusiasm… Read more »

Proving he was worth the gamble at West Ham?

Following the permanent arrival of Andy Carroll last summer, Allardyce was once again able to persuade the co-owners to use the remainder on acquiring the services of winger Stuart Downing, however it has often been questioned whether Big Sam was right to sign him. A major part of the manager’s thinking was that, with Matt… Read more »

Time for West Ham to get even once and for all?

Two weeks ago, on Wednesday 13th August to be exact, Sheffield United were hosting, their ‘local’ rivals Mansfield Town in a dour Capital One cup game. How totally uninteresting.

So just how long has he got left at West Ham?

For some strange reason, Sam Allardyce, Fat Sam or whatever name you want to call him is still the manager of our beloved West Ham. Last season, if we never had the good run of results in February, we would have been relegated and that would have been the end of him. But we survived… Read more »

Confirmed starting line-ups: Crystal Palace v West Ham

The performance against Spurs last weekend was encouraging. Given the questions surrounding Allardyce’s starting line-up, it turned out to be a decent outing. And I don’t think Allardyce will stray too far from that line-up this afternoon against Palace at Selhurst Park. I think Cheikhou Kouyate will deputise for the suspended James Collins alongside Winston… Read more »

Evidence that there’ll be an improvement at West Ham?

Don’t get me wrong, when their right back rounded Adrien in the 90th minute to grab victory I felt very sick. Partly because Eric Dier had somehow managed to end up one-on-one with our goalkeeper but most importantly, it felt like we deserved a lot more from the game and we were going to lose… Read more »

Why West Ham have no reason to ‘panic’ this season

Both on and off the pitch, this has been a summer break to forget for West Ham.
