Opinion

Jonathan Lee > Just over two weeks now til our first game of the season and still (at the time of writing) no senior outfield transfers, should we be panicking or just keep the faith – let’s not forget the window doesn’t shut til the end of August so still plenty of time for players…

Graham Keeffe > After a tumultuous 18 months, Felipe Anderson has finally secured a move away from West Ham United. The Brazilian international has rejoined Serie A side Lazio for a fee estimated to be around £2.6 million (per EXWHUemployee). The Hammers will also receive 50% of any future sale price for the winger. Anderson…

Jonathan Lee > 2021/22 is on the distant horizon and the fixtures are out. Everyone’s initial observation will have been Newcastle on the opening day, again!  Given they did the double over us last season, it is time to set the record straight and come away with something this time while trying to keep 11…

Jonathan Lee > If anyone had offered us sixth place and Europa League group qualification back in August 2020, it’s pretty sure most of us would have taken it big time.  A draw to look forward to now at the end of August this year, but for now it’s time to mark the season just…

Neil Shaw-Smith > Have West Ham fans witnessed a small band of grafting partners, summoned together to encourage comradery and togetherness? Or a squad too small to cope with the toll of a whole season from physical interrogation match by match? However you judge, it warrants addressing: the west ham squad was one of the…

Angus Waters > The win away at West Brom meant our Hammers are guaranteed at least seventh place, and a spot in the new Europa Conference League play-off round, whilst a point at home to Southampton would ensure sixth spot and a place in the Europa League group stage. We’re all but there, unless we…

Jonathan Lee > At this time of the season the result is everything and ultimately a fine away win, however this was far from a vintage performance; avoid defeat against Southampton on Sunday though and a Europa League adventure beckons next season. No time for feint hearts … Randolph – 7 called up late to…

Graham Keeffe > West Ham look as though they are ready to keep everyone guessing right up until the last day as to whether European football will be played at the London Stadium next year. After conceding to Brighton on Saturday, the Hammers have now gone 9 games without a clean sheet. While injuries have…

Jonathan Lee > Another disappointing result and now only 4 points from the last 15, but of all clubs those nice guys at Sheff Utd went and won at Everton meaning one win from our last two games will earn us seventh place and qualification for the inaugural Europa Conference. If we better Spurs’ points…

Jonathan Lee > A disappointing performance and loss to a well organised Everton team, three defeats from the last four games has surely now ended any CL dreams, and we now have a fight on to secure Europa League football and avoid being the one team from the current top 8 to miss out on…

George Marchant > As West Ham fans, we are more used to the last few games of our season being a countdown to securing our place in the next Premier League season. However, the 20/21 season has produced one of the most spectacular competitions in English football history. Although it is clear City will win…
