With Andy Carroll suspended, we’re kind of back to square one when it comes to selecting a full strength side. We all know how important Carroll is to Allardyce’s approach and style of play, and we saw that in full flow last Saturday in the 2-0 victory over Swansea. But there are positives. Winston Reid… Read more »

A Good or Bad Transfer Window for West Ham?
Posted on 06 February 2014.
It’s such a prestige month in the world of football, which concludes with the obligatory Jim White Day commonly known as Transfer Deadline Day. This day brings out all the rumours on Twitter and the far fetched reports where someone’s uncle’s brother’s sister’s aunt knows who is signing for us and feels the need to start off some pointless rumour! First of all, the players we’ve brought in starting with…

West Ham: Monday round-up
Posted on 27 January 2014.
After a fairly eventful weekend at the club and with a game approaching on Wednesday night, it was not surprising that today would follow suit in so many ways. Today we’ve seen the unveiling of our two new signings from Italy, a much needed boost to the squad, a number of a new players linked… Read more »

A new year, a new hope
Posted on 06 January 2014.
I often say West Ham never play two half’s the same, if we play well in the first half then we won’t play as good second half. More often than not that seems to be the case so as we are getting to half way through the season, I’m hoping we don’t play the same way as we have been doing and I think there is reason to be hopeful that we won’t. I know it keeps being delayed but Andy Carroll really shouldn’t be too far…

Who would strengthen our current squad?
Posted on 02 January 2014.
As January Window Opens, let’s hope no Doors Close. If there is one thing that recent performances have shown us, it is that our squad is in desperate need of strengthening. Whilst I think its fair to say that we have a fairly strong first eleven – on the rare occasion that they’re all fit at the same time – it has become apparent that beyond the obvious starting line up, there is a serious imbalance in the squad. However, if the…

Who could be leaving West Ham in January?
Posted on 22 December 2013.
West Ham are always linked with every player going when the transfer window comes around. Likewise our own players always seem to be linked with moves; two in particular have been frequently mentioned. The first player that is always linked to be leaving is Winston Reid. Arguably our best player, who we’ve really struggled without the last few games and I really hope he can start playing again soon but it…

Why I feel this star is not too good for West Ham
Posted on 19 November 2013.
A Response to “Is he too good for West Ham?” Over at foreverwestham.com they recently posited the idea that Ravel Morrison is “too good” for West Ham. That soon he will belong in the Champions League and playing for EPL titles. They even take great pains to point out that West Ham will not be competing on that level “any time soon.” There is another point that they are not making, but strongly …

Reid it and weep
Posted on 12 November 2013.
Reid it and weep. It was only going to be a matter of time. We’ve been sussed out. Years after we West Ham fans worked it out, several so called bigger clubs have cottoned on to it too. And that is that Winston Reid is one hell of a good Centre Half. If we’re truthful to ourselves, we’ll admit it took us a while to unanimously agree on. A signing originally pitched to…

James Tomkins vs James Collins
Posted on 25 October 2013.
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…
