West Ham the best defense in the league! Before anyone criticizes me for this article, if there was a competition for the best defense in the league, I would certainly argue that West Ham have a strong case. The stats certainly suggest so. We have conceded 34 goals this season, which is by no means bad. In fact it is the 9th best conceded total in the league. However our whole defense have been injured this year, so much so we have been…

It won’t be long before we’re considering our vote for the Hammer’s player worthy of winning the prestigious Hammer of the Year award. Many of you will have already made up your mind – I know I have – and despite the season being a very disappointing one up until about four weeks ago, there’s… Read more »

West Ham v Norwich post match review The Canaries made the trip down to East London looking for their first win at The Boleyn Ground since 1987, and although irrelevant records such as this mean very little, it always seems to be against West Ham that these records are broken. However, with West Ham picking up back ­to­ back wins, for the first time since returning to the Premier League, the boys in claret and blue were looking to …

Anyone else got a nose bleed? After four games unbeaten, three wins on the bounce and four clean sheets in a row we now found ourselves in 10th place. A few weeks ago we were struggling for goals and clean sheets, languishing in the bottom three. Now we’re flying high in the top-half of the… Read more »

Given the season we’re having, a 0-0 draw away to Chelsea is pretty much as good as all three points at White Hart Lane. In recent weeks in particular, we have been letting in goals for fun and have been humiliated on a number of occasions, rarely putting up much of a fight in the… Read more »

A player I would look to sign in the January window With West Ham struggling this season, everyone has been quick to point out that we lack goals and that a striker is crucial in the coming window. This is something I totally agree with, we are missing the presence of Carroll up front and we can’t guarantee when he will be back, with a recurring ankle injury. However instead of pointing out the obvious in this …

Apparently every cloud has a silver lining but I fail to see what the upside of losing to one of the worst teams in Premiership history is, in Crystal Palace! Now I really fear that we are in a dogfight and at the moment as I said in my first article, who is going to score the goals? I’m very glad that Andy Carroll has finally arrived back at Chadwell Heath and is training again. However, we need him now. The …

Another 0-0, and it’s beginning to get get quite irritating now, when I tell my friends this they say, ‘at least you’re not conceding’, this makes it all the more annoying for me. If we’re not conceding then really, we’ve got to be winning. On wards to Norwich and I can see a similar game panning out. Should this happen we could become the first team to draw three Premier League games in a …

As I predicted, it was an even game against Swansea, a draw, no goals, a stalemate. Once again our solid defensive work is making up for our severe lack-luster front line, and now, we’ve lost Vaz Te as well. Fingers crossed we will have just about enough to take us through another round tonight. We  avoided the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City in the fourth-round draw but a trip to Turf …

Coming off of another home defeat isn’t great but considering it was against a city team tipped to win the league and a squad that cost hundreds of millions I’m not too disheartened but for the first time this season it’s called to questions our defence for many reasons including no Collins and Reid’s shocker. Our defence is normally first class so it’s down to one question Tomkins or Collins? Yes Collins was injured this week from…
