Will Zlatan Ibrahimovic join West Ham?

It’s a question that has most West Ham fans looking at you like you’ve got off at the wrong planet – but then again, a season of Lanzini and Payet has already flabbergasted most Hammers fans, so who knows? He is quite possibly one of the most wanted players to be available on a Bosman … Read more

West Ham v Sunderland Preview

The excitement is building towards the end of our days at Upton Park, and with Spurs and Man Utd still to come, Sunderland represent one of the less glamorous teams we won’t be seeing again at our beloved ground.  This game would usually pass without comment, but the return of Sam Allardyce to Upton Park … Read more

Hammers train ahead of Saints clash (pictures)

West Ham players were preparing today for their visit to St Mary’s with some moves on the training ground.  New boy Emmanuel Emenike was included and looks like a big lad ready to take on the Premier League.  It’s a tough test for the lads tomorrow, after the rather surreal atmosphere of the game against … Read more

West Ham 2 Chelsea 1 – Hammer time!

I was going to say, we wren’t expecting that were we?  But actually, in the back of our heads, I think a few of us were.  There’s a natural cynicism when it comes to being a West Ham fan, but that is being slowly replaced by a sense of optimism that Slaven Bilic’s tenure thus … Read more

Amalfitano leaves West Ham

Morgan Amalfitano has left West Ham United, under that delightful euphenism ‘mutual consent’ ie someone said leave and he said okay.  The contract has been paid up and a player who in spite of a couple of sparkling moments never really felt like a true hammer has gone.  Having arrived on a one year deal, … Read more

Man City v West Ham Preview

West Ham v Bournemouth Preview

I’ve always had a soft spot for Bournemouth, having childhood trips to the place and with Eddie Howe seeming like one of the more likeable managers (the anti-Mourinho if you will) then it’s hard to deny them their moment in the spotlight. For the Hammers, it’s the first of three games without guardian angel Adrian … Read more

West Ham v Leicester City Preview

It’s going to be hard for there not to be an overwhelming feeling of optimism on Saturday when Leicester City visit Upton Park.  Fresh from the victory over Arsenal, some sound summer acquisitions and Slaven’s home Premier League debut. That optimism must not tun to complacency however, look what happened to Arsenal when that set … Read more

Arsenal v West Ham Preview

First off, I’d like to address the European exit.  We finished 12th last season and were nowhere near ready for a European assault.  The adventure was great but the last match up was lost at Upton Park with the loss of Collins and Sakho not being present for this fixture.  The injuries on the night … Read more
