There were three fabulous moments away from the actual play itself at Ewood Park this afternoon and for this old fool they were emotional and thoroughly moving. It was a truly great sight to watch Dimi’s free kick sail over the Rovers wall and into the top corner – a sublime moment of magic – […]

Blackburn Rovers 1 Irons 5 And still Diafra Sakho to come …..! That was my first reaction following a victory as classy and complete a victoty as we are likely to see from our team and yes I can hear the reminders now from the cynical that it was only Blackburn Rovers. But to score […]

Slaven Bilic has made it clear he has warned his players not to take today’s game anything less than seriously. And he said that yesterday showed how things can go with Reading beating West Brom and Watford winning only by one goal over Leeds. Slav said: “We have had a lot of games this season […]

The last five encounters between West Ham and Blackburn Rovers have ended in a draw and should we repeat that feat for a sixth time this afternoon we will be forced to reschedule a Premier League match in a busy upcoming fixture schedule.

Posted on 21 February 2016.
Let’s just stop for a moment and consider the fact that this afternoon the Irons will be without seven key players. Now, despite the face we are playing a lowly Championship outfit, I wonder whether we would have been as upbeat had the same position existed last season. I know it’s become a cliche but […]

It was a September night in 1962 that I first visited the Boleyn. Having just started my first job in the ‘smoke’ working under an editor named Tony Cottee it was inevitable wasn’t it?. I’d grown up in Kent – a member of a Spuds supporting family – and having played the game every Saturday […]

David Gold has claimed there’s a “perfect Boleyn storm” blowing up – today it can become a Hammers hurricane. Our last season at the old lady could hardly be going any better and is already memorable for the arrival of the excellent Slaven Bilic, Dimitri Payet and Manu Lanzini. Seventh place and an FA Cup […]

Not many no more about West Ham FA Cup success that Frank Lampard snr – a winner in 1975 and 1980. Frank was an Irons star for 18 years between 1967 and 1985 making 551 appearances for 18 goals before becoming assistant boss to Harry Redknapp. And in a rare interview with Steve Stammers in […]

It’s been pretty obvious that far too much has been expected of Dimi Payet in the creativity department over recent weeks and it seems that the main man accepts that himself. He has been the first to admit that he has missed Manu Lanzini and hopefully as of tomorrow at Ewood Park everything will change […]

Slaven Bilic may launch a major surprise at Blackburn tomorrow by handing exciting striker Djair Parfitt-Williams a run out in fifth round clash. David Gold has revealed that the 19 year old is on the squad and it certainly isn’t outside the realms of possibility that the youngster could be called into the action. The […]

I don’t have the slightest doubt that the Hammers will beat Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup at Ewood Park tomorrow even with some difficult injury problems. There’s a problem at right back and at centre forward which isn’t ideal but the squad will have far too much for Rovers if they approach the game […]

Andy Carroll’s injury problems go on and on and it would be a seriously hard-hearted individual who didn’t feel sympathy for the club’s record signing. But the issue of whether the player should remain or sold – assuming a buyer could be found – has dominated West Ham related social media debates for months. And […]

Emanuelle Emwnike has spoken about match fixing allegations which saw him go to prison five years ago. The striker was playing for Turkish side Karabukspor when baseless allegations emerged claiming he faked an injury to miss the crucial title-decided game, which Fenerbahce won 1-0, in return for a big money move to the Istanbul-based club. Both Karabukspor and […]

Here is a table to capture the hearts of all Irons.
