A win is a win and, make no mistake, our 1-0 victory against a very poor Swansea side was a huge result for the club. Whilst perhaps not deserving of the hype that built over the week leading up to the fixture, it was nonetheless a massive confidence boost for everyone concerned with West Ham, not least the players. The three points sees a healthy gap open up between us and the...

Given everything we read on social media I was pleasantly surprised to hear the audible crowd support for Slaven Bilic. Even before Kouyate’s crucial goal sections of the London Stadium home crowd were singing “Super Slav, Super Slav, Super Slaven Bilic”. The song was repeated several things during the game against Swansea City long before we […]

James Collins was my outstanding man of the match on Saturday but that is as much as for what he did off the ball as on it. The Ginger Pele reminded us of his no-nonsense defensive skills at the weekend when he cleared ball after ball way up the pitch or into the crowd. Each clearance was […]

West Ham will head for Sunderland with a major injury/suspension crisis on their hands. Despite many believing this is the game from which they could and perhaps should secure total safety, the absentee list is horrific. And with James Collins having issued a cry for nobody to hide behind Slav, this game may well become […]

James Collins has told the world that some Hammers players have been hiding behind the manager and that it has to stop. Don’t you just love Ginge! He was as brave with his words as he was on the pitch against Swansea telling the fans: “It is easy to hide behind the manager.” Bilic has […]

The Hammers’ 1-0 win over Swansea means they will probably avoid relegation, with their manager insisting the experience can make his team stronger Slaven Bilic once said he prefers to live life “on the front line”. He is not a man who believes sitting back and relaxing, having a pleasant time, is the way to get the most of the world. Given the season that West Ham are enduring, that might be just as...

The cries for Adrian to return as the Irons first choice keeper grow louder and given the uncertainty we continue to see from Darren Randolph that’s hardly surprising. There were moments in the second half on Saturday, as Swansea mounted some pressure, when he looked more at sea than an ocean going liner. Two crosses […]

Hammers keep solid clean sheet James Collins and Jose Fonte enjoyed a much more enjoyable afternoon in just their third game as a centre back pairing, as did the whole back four against the Swans.
