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…

Written by: Harry Last Saturday’s performance against Everton was awful. The score-line was almost generous considering the difference in quality between the two teams. The players haven’t been at their best for a while, shown by the run of one win in six games. Dropping Yarmolenko seemed a strange decision by Pellegrini. Despite playing for…

p class=”p1″>Written by: George M.   Since the summer of 2015, West Ham United have spent approximately £320 million on transfers in a bid to make our squad competitive with the top six sides of the Premier League. Yet, since that summer, the highest we have finished was seventh place. That seventh place finish was our highest…

Written by: @grahamkeeffe A win against Everton on Saturday would have proven a real statement of intent from a West Ham side whose fans are expecting them to challenge for Europe this season. A sense of cautious optimism ebbed from the away end in Goodison Park as the Hammers looked to continue their unbeaten streak…

Written by : Jonathan Lee Sebastien Haller cannot be blamed if he was left wondering what on earth he has joined when the final whistle blew on Saturday. Last season he was part of a front three for Eintracht Frankfurt who enjoyed unparalleled success, resulting in big money moves for all three. When we had…

Written by : Harry   VAR has caused a lot of controversy in its first three months in the Premier League. Mike Riley, the Managing Director of the Elite Referee’s Body, PGMOL, has already admitted 4 incorrect decisions made by VAR. One of those was the penalty appeal from West Ham in the 2-0 win…

Written by: @daena_bodie A lot of things didn’t go West Ham’s way against Crystal Palace before the season’s second international break. A bit of poor decision making from Declan Rice led to Patrick Van Aanholt putting away a Palace penalty and then an extremely tight VAR call saw Jordan Ayew finish the game off on…
