Written by: Jonathan Lee Albert Einstein is credited with saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. Let’s hope on Saturday MP realises it’s time for a change. The periods either side of an international break are interesting affairs; you either hate the break…

Written by : Nick Moore ‘West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini will be given the chance to turn round the club’s alarming slump in form.’ – BBC website 11 November 2019 So that’s agreed then – a new manager it is. There’s nothing like a vote of confidence to secure a manager’s doom. The Davids are…

Written by: @samizgould Dear Mr Pellegrini, It hurts more than we can bear to be back here. We’d though we’d moved on from mediocrity and consistently being inconsistent. But our team is underperforming, and sadly you look bereft of ideas and there is no fight what so ever in the squad, no matter who is…

Michail Antonio could return from injury earlier than expected and be ready for the huge London Derby against Spurs after the international break. His torn hamstring in the League Cup win over Newport County was immensely frustrating for both him and the fans. His goalscoring record is surprisingly good for a natural winger who has…

Written by: George M Angelo Ogbonna has been an interesting player to keep track of during his time at West Ham. Since he joined in 2015, the Italy defender has blown hot and cold while wearing the shirt. His inconsistency creates the perfect match between the club and player whilst also being the subject of…

Written by: Graham Keeffe It is the 22nd of September 2019, West Ham have just recorded an impressive 2-0 victory, albeit over an abject Manchester United side. Pellegrini’s men are enjoying their best start to a campaign in seven seasons and are up to fifth in the table. Optimism is pouring out of the London…

Written by : Harry After a very poor run of form against a group of teams we should be doing better against, the next 3 fixtures are key to our season. It starts with a trip to a well organised Burnley, followed by a massive home game, Sp*rs. Finally, there is a short journey across…

Written by : Jonathan Lee After Saturday’s poor performance and result, West Ham have taken two points from the last 15 available – and unarguably, that is dipping into relegation form and setting off alarm bells for a lot of supporters. With talk of Europe just a couple of months back suddenly feeling a long…

Written by : Nick Moore ‘Best squad ever…’ ‘Challenging for European qualification…’ ‘Moving to the next level…’ It’s surprising to find myself writing this. A manager who was welcomed to the club with enthusiasm seems to be inspiring a disintegration of a side that had promise. Fans have just watched a stunningly inept performance. Misplaced…

Written by: @grahamkeeffe In his usual calm and collected manner, Manuel Pellegrini told Sky Sports that West Ham’s performance against Newcastle on Saturday was “very poor” and that he needed “to know why we played with that pace.” Arguably one of the main reasons may have been fielding a 34 year-old right back against a…

Written by: Graham Keeffe When it was announced that Sébastien Haller was set to join West Ham from Eintracht Frankfurt during the summer, a sense of delirium overcame East London. Finally, a proven striker who was capable of consistent scoring. Arriving with a sizeable price tag of £45 million, Haller was expected to bring a…
