Opinion

Jonathan Lee > A decent opening win of the season at a packed St James’s Park; after conceding two very avoidable goals our quality came through and the scoreline ultimately didn’t flatter us, will be interesting to see how we perform against a strong Leicester side next Monday evening. Fabianski – 6 not called upon…

Neil Shaw-Smith > Czech one, Czech two Hype them up inside the venue Allow me..to introduce to you.. Coupla players always featured on MOTD 2: In player of the year talks he’s got to be in it. Soucek checks his runs until the last minute Salvaging points with his head from certain losses Just who…

Angus Waters > It’s August. The start of the Premier League season is less than two weeks away, and clubs are more desperate for signings than ever. After Jesse Lingard’s incredible loan spell at West Ham, we were hoping to see him back in Claret & Blue on a permanent transfer. Lingard struggled for game…

Jonathan Lee > Just over two weeks now til our first game of the season and still (at the time of writing) no senior outfield transfers, should we be panicking or just keep the faith – let’s not forget the window doesn’t shut til the end of August so still plenty of time for players…

Graham Keeffe > After a tumultuous 18 months, Felipe Anderson has finally secured a move away from West Ham United. The Brazilian international has rejoined Serie A side Lazio for a fee estimated to be around £2.6 million (per EXWHUemployee). The Hammers will also receive 50% of any future sale price for the winger. Anderson…

Jonathan Lee > 2021/22 is on the distant horizon and the fixtures are out. Everyone’s initial observation will have been Newcastle on the opening day, again!  Given they did the double over us last season, it is time to set the record straight and come away with something this time while trying to keep 11…

Jonathan Lee > If anyone had offered us sixth place and Europa League group qualification back in August 2020, it’s pretty sure most of us would have taken it big time.  A draw to look forward to now at the end of August this year, but for now it’s time to mark the season just…

Neil Shaw-Smith > Have West Ham fans witnessed a small band of grafting partners, summoned together to encourage comradery and togetherness? Or a squad too small to cope with the toll of a whole season from physical interrogation match by match? However you judge, it warrants addressing: the west ham squad was one of the…

Angus Waters > The win away at West Brom meant our Hammers are guaranteed at least seventh place, and a spot in the new Europa Conference League play-off round, whilst a point at home to Southampton would ensure sixth spot and a place in the Europa League group stage. We’re all but there, unless we…

Jonathan Lee > At this time of the season the result is everything and ultimately a fine away win, however this was far from a vintage performance; avoid defeat against Southampton on Sunday though and a Europa League adventure beckons next season. No time for feint hearts … Randolph – 7 called up late to…

Graham Keeffe > West Ham look as though they are ready to keep everyone guessing right up until the last day as to whether European football will be played at the London Stadium next year. After conceding to Brighton on Saturday, the Hammers have now gone 9 games without a clean sheet. While injuries have…
