Without a doubt though much of the ire of fans has been …

West Ham took part in Soccer AM’s crossbar challenge this week in aid of Sport Relief and the video, as expected, is hilarious.

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 »

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 »

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 …

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…

Back-to-back wins. Clean sheets galore. Kevin Nolan on form. Out of the bottom three. Pretty much everything that could be going right for us at the moment going right.
