How can West Ham avoid a post-Christmas slump this year?

As I write, we currently sit third in the Premier League on 20 points from 10 games and plenty of excitement is buzzing amongst the fans. Lots of talk of a very good season and even perhaps a top four finish shows just how optimistic we all are of sending off the Boleyn Ground in style,

West Ham need to sign this star as a matter of urgency

Manuel Lanzini became West Ham’s eight summer signing when he completed a season-long loan from Al-Jazira in late July. Lanzini was relatively unknown to most West Ham fans. Nicknamed the ‘Jewel’, he started out at Argentinian side River Plate before moving to the UAE to join Al-Jazira. YouTube clips were certainly portraying him an impressive attacking

Why West Ham’s top four hopes are more realistic than ever

There is a bit of deja-vu about the fantastic start to the season the Hammers are having, along with the feeling it might go belly up at some point and fade away like it did in January this year. Having said that, there are some very big differences this time, and it is these differences that

Is this West Ham’s starting XI to beat Watford?

When was the last time we went eight games unbeaten? In fact, when was the last time we made it seven games without loss? Last week’s victory over Chelsea was one of the best in my recent memory. Everything from the performance, the atmosphere, Chelsea’s meltdown at the end of the first half and Andy

The West Ham trio you need to have in your Dream Team

A win this weekend and we could go top of the Premier League. Mental, isn’t it? Of course, that’ll all depend on Manchester City losing at home to Norwich and Arsenal crumbling at Swansea, but it is possible. As usual, we’ll be relying on our creative players to perform at their best if we’re to leave Vicarage

Can an unchanged West Ham side go all the way again?

Arsenal, check. Liverpool, check. Man City, check. Chelsea, check. What more could Slaven possibly do to make the fans fall in love with him even further? Another win this weekend would certainly be nice. Last Saturday was one of the best atmospheres I witnessed at Upton Park for a long time and when Carroll scored, the

Five West Ham players who’d benefit from a Championship loan

One of the fundamental reasons why the mighty Hammers have started exceptionally is because of the squad’s strength in depth, something that was definitely missing from the Sam Allardyce era. As Slaven Bilic highly anticipated a good run in the Europa League at the start of the 205/2016 campaign, nine additions were made and some

This is proof West Ham must sign impressive star

Let’s be honest; there aren’t many of us who expected Manuel Lanzini to have such a positive influence on our performances this season, particularly so soon. But ‘The Jewel’ has surprised us all with a string of impressive performances that haven’t just raised our eyebrows, but the rest of the Premier League’s as well. The

West Ham skipper set for huge club honour?

One club players are a rarity in football these days. Thankfully we’ve got a couple of them in Mark Noble and James Tomkins. Ok, so both of them did enjoy short loan stints elsewhere earlier in their careers, but they’re pretty much one club men who, I’d like to think, will stay until they retire.

So West Ham could make another huge signing next summer

All the talk around the club last summer was whether we’d sign a big name player for a hell of a lot of money. Eventually that turned out to be either Dimitri Payet or Alex Song, depending on how you look at it, with the former already proving to be one of the best signings

Fancy a laugh? These pre-season West Ham predictions will make your day

Football fans are an ignorant bunch, that goes for some of our own supporters too. But when we decided to part ways with Sam Allardyce at the end of last season there seemed to be a hell of a lot more ignorant fans of other clubs criticising us for wanting better. Most of them expressed

Do West Ham really need to sign this striker in January?

There is no doubt about it; The Hammers are flying this season. Slavan Bilic was installed as boss at Upton Park replacing Sam Allardyce with the hope of injecting a style of play that makes West Ham dangerous and a threat to any team in the Premier League. On the basis of the magnificent beginning

Super Slav – Showing potential to be West Ham’s best ever?

When Sam Allardyce was sacked just minutes after the final whistle of the last game of the 2014/2015 season, not many people thought Slaven Bilic was going to get the job. He seemed passionate and willing, but many preferred West Ham to aim higher up and try to get more ‘experienced’ managers like Rafa Benitez

West Ham chief wins the internet with great Chelsea banter

Just when you thought beating Chelsea couldn’t get any better, David Gold pops up on Twitter with some superb ‘banter.’ Goals from Mauro Zarate and Andy Carroll handed us a memorable 2-1 home win over Chelsea on Saturday, lifting us in to second in the Premier League and laughing square in the faces of all

Is this West Ham’s starting XI to beat Chelsea?

If we hadn’t been so ropey at home I’d back us to beat Chelsea this weekend. But instead I can’t shake the feeling Chelsea will probably put in their best performance of the season so far and wipe the floor with us. But… I don’t want to be negative during such a positive time for

West Ham’s selection dilemma – A surprise replacement for Moses?

Since joining West Ham on loan this deadline day, Victor Moses has gone on to play an instrumental role in our success so far this season. He forms an important part of our attacking midfield trio alongside Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet, just ahead of Diafra Sakho. Whilst Dimitri Payet has deservedly claimed all of

This West Ham duo should be in your Dream Team this weekend…

It’s difficult to call Saturday’s visit of Chelsea. On one hand you could say we should be able to take all three points against a side struggling to find any form after an awful start to the campaign, but on the other hand you’d half expect Jose Mourinho’s side to begin their revival with a
