Well, it's that time of year where Sky Sports reporters freeze their backsides off standing outside a training ground with a load of truants. Thought I'd pop by with a quick round up of what I understand is happening and a few thoughts… Ravel Morrison – I thought this was agent talk hankeing for a … Read more
The club have confirmed the signing of George John, the FC Dallas Centre Half. He will be here on an initial 2 months with a view to making things permanent. It's an important signing for us, as the plugs at the heart of defence have been clear for all to see, but it remains to … Read more
Another stubborn performance from the lads today saw us pick up 3 points at Hull City for the first time in over 50 years. This achievement still won't stop the part time percy's and the 'West Ham way' rubbish they come out with, but for real fans it's a revelation to watch the club continue … Read more
There are a number of rumours circulating about the hammers signing gob chucking midfielder El Hadj Diouf. Simply put, I and many other Hammers fans do not want him anywhere near Upton Park. Big Sam should heed this warning – I'm prepared for some industrial football to get us up to the premier league, and … Read more
Just a quick one before tonight's top of the table clash. Gutted to not be at this one, would do anything for a ticket right now.

Our last home performance against Ipswich was terrible, I couldn't really bear to write about it … Read more
Manuel Almunia has signed on loan following the new that Robert Green has a knee cartilage problem which will see him out for 6 weeks. To be fair to the club, it's a pretty good replacement. Although Almunia is prone to the odd error, he should be a good pair of hands at this level. … Read more
A humid night at Upton park had Hammers fans sweating for other reasons with an abject display from our lads. Hopes were high with the much called for Baldock in the starting 11, but West Ham just never got in gear tonight. I'm not sure what it was – it certainly wasn't a 442 as … Read more
I'm sure this is absolute nonsense but it did get me thinking about the joy jourmalists will have if a story about re-naming the Olympic Stadium the Ann Summers has any semblance of truth to it… 'The Ann Summers is buzzing' 'Can feel good vibrations all through the Ann Summers' Hmmm, anyone got any better … Read more
In what is expected to be the last incoming transfer of the day, Guy Demel, the tough Ivory Coast defender, has signed from Hamburg for an un-disclosed fee. This gives us some much needed cover at the back, although it is a shame that hapless Herita did not go anywhere at the same time. He … Read more
