Have we found Andy Carroll’s perfect replacement?
Posted on 10 August 2014.
As we head into a new season, we again find ourselves without the injured Andy Carroll for around four months – so who’s going to successfully take the number nine role? Mauro Zarate is too small to play the lone striker and is best utilised in the hole behind the main striker, but no doubt Big… Read more »

West Ham’s ideal starting XI this season
Posted on 08 August 2014.
We’re just a week away from the big kick-off and it feels as if we’re a million miles away from having a team capable of playing the new ‘attacking’ style of football the co-owners have ordered from Sam Allardyce. But if you look closely, there’s still a decent looking starting XI available to us now… Read more »

Why West Ham must wash their hands of this live wire
Posted on 08 August 2014.
In January 2012, when West Ham United were looking for an immediate return to the Premier League, one of the recruits that Sam Allardyce brought in was Ravel Morrison.

Too little, too late from the owners?
Posted on 07 August 2014.
The football played last season was dire to say the least. Others might use even stronger abusive words to describe the style of football produced, but the above just about sums it up for. Now after a fans’ poll, the addition of Teddy Sherrington as the attacking mastermind and the owners insisting the team must… Read more »

Posted on 05 August 2014.
As we embark on our penultimate season at the Boleyn Ground, the inevitable dreams, doubts and, of course, nightmares begin to surface.

Posted on 05 August 2014.
West Ham have watched some fantastic talent flow in and out of the club over the years, but I have aimed to capture the best six that we have witnessed at Upton Park since the 2006/07 season.

Are we about to wave goodbye to an enigma?
Posted on 05 August 2014.
This has been a good few weeks for players coming to West Ham, but not so good for one West Ham player that could be on his way out. With the arrival of Ecuadorian power house Enner Valencia and Arsenal full back Carl Jenkinson, fans certainly have a lot to get excited about. Valencia is… Read more »

Wilfried Zaha – West Ham’s SEVENTH summer signing?
Posted on 04 August 2014.
All the promises of a new attacking style of football before pre-season have been all but ruined by the seriously lacklustre and uninspiring performances and results this summer. The transfer business has been pretty decent, but we’re still yet to see any signs of the attacking flair the owners have demanded from Sam Allardyce after… Read more »

The SEVEN worst West Ham players in recent memory
Posted on 02 August 2014.
Over the years I think it is fair to say we have seen some diabolical players grace the Boleyn Ground. Before I announce my opinion on the worst since the 2006/7 season, there must be notable mentions for Robbie Keane, Razvan Rat, Roger Johnson, Tyrone Mears, John Pantsil, Radoslav Kovac and Tal Ben Haim. There were… Read more »

Has Allardyce lost his transfer ‘magic?’
Posted on 27 July 2014.
When Sam Allardyce was the manager of Bolton, he had a certain knack of getting the right players and getting them to play well. Players like Jay Jay Okocha, Youri Djorkaeff and Ivan Campo were, without doubt, quality free players when he signed them, and were fantastic to watch. Now we are hearing stories of… Read more »

Would selling him be a bigger mistake than signing him?
Posted on 26 July 2014.
When Andy Carroll initially signed a season-long loan deal from Liverpool in August 2012 it was seen as a real coup for the club and, once the Reds had decided that he was no longer needed at Anfield, the Hammers jumped at the chance to get the deal done. However Carroll’s history of injury seemed… Read more »

Rav hints at West Ham exit
Posted on 24 July 2014.
So, it looks like he’s definitely off then. Ravel Morrison appears to be heading towards the Upton Park exit door and there’s nothing any of us can do about it. Sam Allardyce has made his mind up and he doesn’t see the brightest young talent the club has had for years in his plans. Muppet…. Read more »

New West Ham signing shows a glimpse of what’s to come
Posted on 23 July 2014.
Disappointment aside, we all know that this morning’s 2-1 defeat to Wellington Phoenix was more about improving match fitness and tinkering with tactics. I know, we didn’t see much tinkering in the tactics department – Sam sticking to his tried, tested and frankly boring – one up front option, but we can still take some… Read more »

FIVE strikers to get West Ham firing again next season
Posted on 27 June 2014.
The lengthy injury to Andy Carroll last season proved just how little depth we have up front. Carlton Cole was an able, but not spectacular, deputy and Modibo Maiga and Mladen Petric were simply not up to standard. Even with the signing of Mauro Zarate completed, Sam Allardyce was quoted earlier this week saying that… Read more »

From the three they had, two were unavailable; Marek Stech was out on a loan deal and Peter Kurucz was injured, making Robert Green the only option. Sam Allardyce was desperately searching for other options and in the end the name of Portsmouth’s Stephen… Read more »
