FIVE things we learned from the draw at Hull
Posted on 18 September 2014.
West Ham played against Hull City on Monday in what many were saying would be a make or break game for Sam Allardyce. All eyes were on team selection, tactics and the result.

The stats don’t lie – West Ham’s unlikely new roaming midfielder?
Posted on 18 September 2014.
Big Sam is a notorious stat man who reads into individual facts and figures more so than most managers. With this being the case, he would have loved the personal attributes of Stewart Downing who was simply brilliant against Hull on Monday. Although a lot of the plaudits went to Valencia for that absolute peach… Read more »

So who exactly called the shots at West Ham this summer?
Posted on 11 September 2014.
Finally another crazy a transfer deadline day is over. When we look at the business West Ham have done, I think it’s a good guess that most, if not all, fans will be very pleased.

Like asking a decorator to paint you a Picasso at West Ham?
Posted on 11 September 2014.
Three games in and personally I’m yet to be convinced. The nine signings in the summer window are making us look a ‘very good squad,’ and I applaud the two Davids for their input. But, as we all know, three points out of nine and three home defeats before the end of August doesn’t bode… Read more »

Posted on 10 September 2014.
On the whole, West Ham United’s start to the 2014/15 campaign has been a positive one. However, after Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to Southampton, some fans are asking the question: Are we realising how much we need Andy Carroll?

Should the lack of Plan B be the final straw at West Ham?
Posted on 10 September 2014.
For the second home league game, the fans have left Upton Park wondering, why didn’t we win this one? The obvious reason was because we lost but it is how we lost that is the main cause for concern. Against Spurs on the opening day, we didn’t take advantage when they went down to 10… Read more »

Should West Ham have bowed down to his demands?
Posted on 08 September 2014.
Just over two years ago, West Ham pulled off something of a coup in signing Mohamed Diame from Wigan Athletic in order to boost the Hammers’ midfield upon returning to the top flight.

Last week’s win at Palace was, as the old cliche goes, a breath of fresh air. Passing on the floor, running at defenders, two top drawer goals, Carlton Cole scoring, organisation, three points.
