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…

Written by : Jonathan Lee The position we finish in the table this season will be determined, as ever, not by how we perform against the so-called ‘Big Six’ (though we often raise our game against them) but by how we perform against the rest. The next four games will be a perfect illustration of…

Written by: @daena_bodie So there it is, just like that, West Ham’s six game unbeaten run has come to an end. Having gone through a period that saw the Hammers sitting in the dizzying heights of the Premier League’s top six, the club is back down in eight. The performance against Palace wasn’t necessarily a…

Written by : George Marchant There’s been a change over the past few seasons. This change can be noticed when scrolling through the opinions universe that is Twitter. Ever since our last season at Upton Park, where we achieved a club record of 62 Premier League points and arguably had one of the best players…

Written by : Jonathan Lee For once a player has come out and said – be it off his own back or what the media team have asked him to say – what is clearly and unarguably true. “We definitely need to be winning these games if we want to be challenging for the top…

Written by : @JgriffithJourno Saturday night’s 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace was a tough one to take for West Ham, who will feel they should have taken all three points. Missed chances and suspect defending were to blame for the defeat and the player performances ranged from very good to majorly disappointing. Here are the…

Written by : George October has arrived and we are lying in fifth, undefeated since our opening-day battering at the hands of Manchester City. Aside from our embarrassing cup exit away at Oxford, we’ve had a start to the season only the most hopeful of fans wouldn’t have taken during pre-season. Said defeat shouldn’t be…

Written by : Jonathan Lee Some teams in the league seem to present us with a challenge, season in and season out. Back in the day it used to be Bolton, and now one of those teams is Bournemouth. They may have one of the smallest grounds in the country but they have been punching…

 Written by : @ConorCulver I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air, they fly so high nearly reach the sky and like my dreams they fade and die. Fortune’s always hiding, I’ve looked everywhere. I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air. Has a song ever summed up a football club with so…

Written by: @CraigPodevin Coming to a hard game after a disgustingly shocking 4-0 loss to Oxford, this could be the game to show how far we’ve come in recent seasons. Our history says that these are one of the teams we struggle to beat and usually they’re high scoring affairs. I’m hoping we can come…

Written by : @daena_bodie It seems as if Lanzini’s long awaited return is set to be rather short lived. The little Argentinian is now rumored to be out of action for three to four weeks with a bruised foot. Having played in the Hammers’ last outing against Aston Villa, which proved to be a rather…

Written by : George Assigning midweek’s ‘shock’ defeat to Oxford United to the bottom draw of the filing cabinet – somewhere behind the ‘AFC Wimbledon 18/19’ folder, we’ve had a great start to the season.
