West Ham put their shaky home form on hold today and gave Brighton a 6-0 thrashing at home, to close the gap on both points and goal difference on wavering Southampton. If there was ever a time for the lads to put in a top performance, today was a good day to do it, and … Read more
A funny few weeks in the world of the Hammers, following the Ipswich debacle, with sparkling away form but the home match blues still haunt the Hammers, culminating in Wednesday's poor show against the Hornets. I still believe it's mostly psychological with the lads, the burden of expectation weighing heavily on their shoulders. Away from … Read more
I don't usually talk things non West Ham here, but there's a great reaction to the shocking scenes at Old Trafford today on the Guardian website. I think the reason I care is that their behaviour is so detrimental to a game that has faced many challenges of late, and this above the law and … 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.
