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.

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…

Written by: @grahamkeeffe When any club is given the news that their primary shot stopper is set to be out injured for a prolonged period of time, it is generally cause for major concern. For Hammers fans, seeing how well Adrian is filling the gloves of the injured Alisson at his new club Liverpool and…

Written by : George   Fluid, dynamic and composed. The shining light from a disappointing performance against Palace was our lone goal, where genuine talent, execution, ability and composure led to a sublime 14-pass goal. Admittedly, there were other chances in the game, but this moment of brilliance can inspire hope in the side that…
