Should he stay or should he go?
Posted on 16 March 2017.
Football can be an unforgiving and fickle beast. One minute you are lifting the Premier League trophy, the next you are unemployed. This season, we at West Ham have already been the victim of just how fickle football can be. A certain French midfielder (sorry but can’t quite remember his name) was signing a lucrative new contract with a loyalty bonus and the next thing we knew was refusing to play and on a plane back to …

Fonte reckons he will come good for West Ham under coach Bilic’s stewardship
Posted on 15 March 2017.
West Ham defender Jose Fonte believes he will flourish under the stewardship of Hammers boss Slaven Bilic. Fonte says he has much to learn from his current manager given that he, too, played in the heart of central defence during his career.

Is it the beginning of the end for Mark Noble?
Posted on 13 March 2017.
Stating the name Mark Noble to a fellow West Ham 3 years ago would usually be greeted with a smile and two crossed arms to symbolise what the man behind the name meant to us. Now, however, if you uttered the same name, you can expect to be frowned at and told that he is “past it”. Being a young Hammers fan growing into the game of football, Mark couldn’t have found himself in…

Posted on 04 March 2017.
Tony Cottee knows a thing or two about scoring goals in a West Ham shirt. The Hammers legend managed to bang in 146 net-busters in two spells during his career at Upton Park, so any comment he makes on the subject should be noted. Indeed Cottee, who also had a distinguished spell at Everton and represented England on seven occasions, sits in fifth position of the club’s all-time leading goal scorers …
