Match Preview

Deportivo Potter 21/04/2018 It will be very hard to write this without mentioning that Arsene Wenger will be stepping down as manager of Arsenal at the end of the season.  He has been a superb servant for the club and I wish him well in the future.  But not Arsenal and especially not tomorrow. To…

08/04/2018 Deportivohammer Well it has been a while since I’ve done one of these previews and after last weeks win it’s great to be writing it again.  Southampton were completely over run by a rampant West Ham in the 1st half.  While the 2nd half wasn’t the greatest spectacle, it doesn’t matter when you are…

23/02/2018 Deportivo Potter The Premier League is back and boom, up to Anfield we go.  While I wish we were still playing in the F.A Cup, its not always a bad thing for the players to freshen up and get rid of some of the niggling injuries we have had recently.  Spend some time trying…

DeportivoHammer 03/02/2018 Well just when you thought a transfer window couldn’t get worse, out came the Tony Henry story who was first suspended and has now been fired by West Ham.  While I totally agree with what the club has done in dealing with the situation, the fact that it got this far is very…

12/01/2018 Deportivo Hammer The dust has settled now after a very busy Xmas and New Year schedule for most teams and we have had a week to prepare for the trip up to Huddersfield and providing we don’t play like we did last time out we should have a good chance of taking all 3…

04/01/2018 Deportivo Hammer Morning all I must apologise for my leave of absence I have been on holiday over the Christmas period and have returned to Spain only to find myself struck down with some kind of illness. I am writing this from my sickbed because it’s Tottenham and if you can’t get up for…

19/12/2017 Deportivo Hammer It´s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas and it´s also beginning to feel really good again to be a West Ham fan at the moment.  Not only did we beat Stoke to take 3 points I feel we really put them to the sword and really should have won by more…

Deportivo Hammer 15/12/2017 It’s been a good week as a West Ham fan, first we managed to see us take 3 points against Chelsea last weekend then we managed to see us follow it up with another good performance against Arsenal. These good weeks have been few and far between recently, so long way it…

Deportivo Hammer 29/11/2017 Well a point against Leicester wasn´t what we wanted, but I did see a team show a bit of fight and hunger to win.  Where that has been much of the season I don´t know, but I want to see more of it, then I´m sure we will be fine this year. …

18/11/2017 Deportivo Hammer It´s never nice to have to change manager during a season, it´s usually a sign of things not going well and a team under performing.  Thank you for your time Slaven Bilic.  It was a marvellous first season in charge, bringing an end to Upton Park in a fitting way, coming from behind…

Written by @deportivohammer Well, I can honestly say that I did not see that result coming. I checked the score as I left work and saw that we were 2-0 down and my heart sank, I took a slow walk back to my car for the 15 min journey home. Whilst arriving home I checked…

15/09/2017 Deportivo Hammer What a difference a week makes.  While it wasn´t exactly pretty to watch it was a very welcome win, one that our manager very much needed, as It seems to have earned him a stay of execution, for now at least.  We can now turn our attention to W.B.A with a little…
