No, your eyes don’t deceive you: Pablo actually scored a goal for West Ham. Finally. Against Premier League opposition too, funnily enough. The 22-year-old equalised on the stroke of half-time in the Irons’ Carabao Cup tie against Fulham to a huge ovation. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side went on to lose the game 3-2, crashing out…

By @The_BoleynBoys on X Up for the Cup? Not so much. It’s never welcome a loss in football but we’ve dealt with a lot worse. That said, I actually thought we played okay! A little rotation from the league with Millwall in mind I’m sure. Surprisingly the back 4 which didn’t change (only KWP starting…

West Ham’s loss to Fulham in the Carabao Cup was a stark reminder of what lies ahead in east London in the not too distant future. Although the manner of the loss was nothing to be ashamed or worried about, considering the squad rotation and resting of certain players. The team spirit also is very…

Former West Ham defender Álvaro Arbeloa returns to London Stadium tonight as Fulham manager.  The phrase ‘former West Ham defender’ when talking about Real Madrid, Liverpool, Spain, and all-round football legend Álvaro Arbeloa sounds silly. However, he did play for the Hammers, which I don’t think too many neutral fans would know. And I wouldn’t…

West Ham United host Premier League side Fulham tonight in the Carabao Cup. Just three places separate the Hammers and the Cottagers, as top of the Championship and 18th in the Premier League battle it out for a place in the fourth round of the League Cup. We are all expecting West Ham to make…

On Monday, it was announced that legendary West Ham goalkeeper Luděk Mikloško had sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer. The former goalkeeper, who passed away at the age of 64, played for the Irons between 1990 and 1998, becoming a hero in the East End of London. Mikloško had been battling tumours…

Max Kilman and Konstantinos Mavropanos are getting back to their best at West Ham in the Championship. In the last couple of matches, a partnership between West Ham’s central defenders Mavropanos and Kilman really seems to be blooming in front of our eyes. Two players who have not had too many ups and a lot…

West Ham face Fulham in the Carabao Cup tomorrow before the big one vs Millwall on Saturday.  The Hammers, like every other team in the EFL, have had a lot of fixture congestion over the past few weeks, and with the big one against Millwall on Saturday, the last thing we wanted was another game…

West Ham United face Fulham in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. The Hammers come up against their first Premier League side sinc ebeing relegated from the top tier last season after beating Portsmouth and Southampton in the previous rounds. Having played a lot of matches in the last couple of weeks…

The news of the passing of Ludek Miklosko is a heartbreaking one for West Ham fans without a doubt. Even if you are a fan that never saw him play, you will know who he is and have very likely sung his name loud and proud over the years. Ludo was a special symbol of…

West Ham fans have been patient since relegation, but it’s wearing thin with Daniel Kretinsky who owes supporters a statement of what his intentions & visions are. The Czech billionaire is now the largest shareholder at the club on 46%, following the latest battle for power at the club – as Amanda Staveley & co…

Six-sational! What a win. What a performance. After the first 5 minutes, I seriously wondered if we were in for another long night but how wrong I was. I thought Nuno got the team selection spot on, and for once, I think everyone agreed with it. The Pablo argument can finally be put to bed….
