What to Expect Before the New Year I don’t think anyone expected this team to be sitting in 4 th place 11 games into the season. The pre-season looked bleak and when Andy Carroll went down, again, many hammers were terrified. I remember one specific conversation in which a fellow fan told me that neither Valencia nor Sakho were true strikers and that Big Sam wouldn’t change anything. I disagreed vehemently on the first point but hated to admit that I…

Who’s been getting Roy Hodgson drunk?

When the owners revealed their demands for this season, most fans baulked at the idea of attacking football under Sam Allardyce.

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.

We’re not at the end of the season yet, but as it approaches there is one player who seems to have massively split opinion between West Ham fans. Stewart Downing.
