The last time we went to the Emirates we were spanked 5-1, despite seeing Jack Collison give us the lead. That seems like an age ago now, particularly with all the problems we had over the festive period. The last few weeks have indicated that we’re beginning to show just how good we can be,… Read more »

Proposed starting XI v. Arsenal
Posted on 15 April 2014.
With Kevin Nolan having a late fitness test and potentially having to sit tonight out, Sam Allardyce could be forced to make some changes to the XI that played so well against Liverpool last weekend. Mohamed Diame or Antonio Nocerino should be drafted in to deputise for Nolan, which should give Matt Jarvis his place… Read more »

Posted on 15 April 2014.
Whether you think we’re safe yet or not, the likelihood of us being caught now is extremely minimal. That said, the likelihood of us getting a positive result at the Emirates tonight are almost just as minimal, despite Arsenal’s current form and injury problems. With little else to worry about other than the highest possible… Read more »

How Carroll and Nolan changed our season
Posted on 06 April 2014.
The Second Half of The Season : How Nolan and Carroll’s Resurgence Changed Everything For much of the season and certainly through the dark times that came directly after the 0-3 victory at White Hart Lane many fans have taken to calling for Big Sam’s head and questioning every decision from the playing of Kevin Nolan and Ravel Morrison, to player positioning, to the signings of Stewart Downing and Andy Carroll. Without a doubt though much of the ire of fans has been …

Does winning ‘ugly’ give West Ham the perfect platform to improve?
Posted on 01 April 2014.
With another three points in the bag after another scrappy, ugly win away to Sunderland, we find ourselves in 11th place on 37 points. It would take a monumental effort for the likes of Fulham, Sunderland and Cardiff to overtake us now, so our season is pretty much finished. We’re just waiting for the fat lady to sing. Our… Read more »

VIDEO: West Ham’s crossbar challenge for Soccer AM and Sport Relief
Posted on 21 March 2014.
West Ham took part in Soccer AM’s crossbar challenge this week in aid of Sport Relief and the video, as expected, is hilarious. We all know about how much banter the players have with each other and this video proves that the spirit in the camp as as high as ever, with loanee Roger Johnson… Read more »

Kevin Nolan nails Moncur for ‘selfie’
Posted on 21 March 2014.
As the ‘selfie’ continues its rise towards internet stardom, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing a fairly unique entry from one of our youth prospects. George Moncur posted a picture of himself on Instagram last night, claiming that he was doing a spot of late night thinking. That’s fine, we all do it but, the… Read more »

Will we ever be happy?
Posted on 05 March 2014.
So the inevitable bump back to “terra Firma” finally happened on Saturday, as an unlikely away point at Goodison Park was snatched away from us in the 81st minute by Everton substitute Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku has acquired a very annoying habit of scoring against us, by the way. His debut goal for Everton pinched a… Read more »

Goal of the Month: Who gets your vote?
Posted on 04 March 2014.
February saw us hit a run of form that looked almost impossible during the turn of the year, picking up four consecutive Premier League wins. And a few of the nine goals we scored in the process were ones to treasure, particularly from Kevin Nolan, who bagged five of them. And there were even some… Read more »

Is this how our season will end up?
Posted on 27 February 2014.
After what can only be described as a fantastic February, which saw West Ham take a total of twelve points from a possible twelve, most fans find themselves looking up the Premier League table instead of down it. With just eleven games to go until the end of the season, we are within touching distance of the… Read more »

The non-existent suspension period
Posted on 27 February 2014.
The Swansea game seems like a long time ago now, and it won’t ever be forgotten due to the antics of Flores. When Carroll got sent off, the majority of fans felt that the next 3 games we could win, would become a little harder and we could look back on that as the downfall of the season but it has turned out to be the opposite. The last 3 games have been amazing and I didn’t expect the wins. Especially …

Have we finally turned the corner?
Posted on 13 February 2014.
After conceding fourteen goals without reply in three cup matches, and scoring just two goals in the league since New Year’s Day, few could have foreseen the run of results West Ham have had since travelling to Stamford Bridge at the end of January. Modibo Maiga was in a serious dip in form (whether he was in… Read more »

Another great win to continue our survival charge
Posted on 12 February 2014.
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 »

Captain Fantastic
Posted on 10 February 2014.
I have written about Kevin Nolan so many times this season and he’s been the hot topic of conversation all season, unfortunately not for the right reasons most of the time. He’s now scored 4 goals in the last 2 games, and that’s 2 with Carroll and 2 without and that’s our captain that the majority of fans love. Once again he was man of the match voted by the fans on Twitter, which is great to see because we all know that’s what…

And it’s refreshing to know that we may have just turned a corner this season, with or without Andy Carroll, and are finally showing the potential… Read more »

The Carroll and Nolan partnership
Posted on 08 February 2014.
Carroll’s sending off will be a massive blow for us and a decision that will be remembered at the end of the season no matter what. However before that happened we saw the thing all fans have been waiting for. Nolan and Carroll were once again running around defences and together were unstoppable; it was the best they have both performed all season. Nolan has been criticised more than most this…
