Written by: @samizgould The phrase Fox in the Box truly describes Javier Hernandez. With all of his 52 goals scored from within the penalty area, it is where he is naturally most at home and how he has made his name in massive clubs across Europe. The creation of the phrase itself has intriguingly been attributed…

Written by: @ConorCulver The past few weeks of watching West Ham have been tough to say the least. And from now until the end of the season, it doesn’t look like it’ll get much better. As of writing this we have five games left, which we’ll look at individually to hazard a guess at what we…

Written by: @JGriffithJourno In just a month, West Ham have gone from being on the cusp of the illustrious 7th place spot to lingering outside the top half altogether. This would likely be a crisis for any other club, but its simply the annual mid-season meltdown for the Hammers. So how did this happen? Are the…

Written by @ConorCulver Due to some questionable results these past few weeks, Pellegrini’s managerial prowess has come under fire from much of the fanbase. However, this is unjust and he is certainly the man to take us forward. It is worth noting first that yes, he does make some questionable decisions. How Hernandez was benched…

Written by: @George__Curley The striker situation at West Ham has certainly been an interesting one this season, with Manuel Pellegrini experimenting with different attacking formations to try to find a source of goals. These different tactics have ranged from the unlikely pairing of Lucas Perez and Andy Carroll to the otherwise likely pairing of Javier…

Written by: @AdamL1979 There may be six games to go but all there is to fight for now is prize money for places – no cups, no Europe, no relegation fears. With that in mind it seems to be the perfect time to play some of the younger players and see if we can save a…

Written by: @AdamL1979 We all breathed a huge sigh of relief when the most loved Argentinian in the club’s history came back from injury (yes, we are all thankful for Tevez but he left after a season as soon as he could, so Lanzini has been duly elevated to favourite status) – but where does he…

Written by: Michael Randall @oklahammer1 It’s the start of a new season.  A new manager is standing at the training ground watching his players, internally wrestling with inevitable pre-season selection issues.  He has the boisterous and busy Arnautovic, strong and determined in the final third, with a crowd-pleasing attitude to take games by the scruff…

Written by @samizgould It’s not been a good year of a number of Hammers, and it can be argued that only six players are certain starters for next season. So which positions need improvement and who’s not making the cut? The most obvious area for improvement and where the most of our money will be…

Written by : @George__Curley Just picture this: West Ham are losing to bottom of the table Huddersfield after three well-worked goals by the visitors, and Manuel Pellegrini makes the decision to bring on Samir Nasri and Javier Hernandez. Disquiet following these substitutions was later juxtaposed with cheers by the West Ham faithful – but how did…

Written by: @FredDWHU The season so far has been an improvement, a disappointment, and a rollercoaster ride. A West Ham season is never short of controversy – and this season has been no different with the appalling performances in the first four games and the Arnautovic transfer malarkey, both of which having been the main topics…
