Enough is Enough

Sam Allardyce is, for better or worse, going to be West Ham’s manager for the foreseeable future. The price tag attached to terminating his contract is one which we can’t afford and investing the sum in the squad is seen as a wiser use of funds by the club’s ownership.

The Silver Lining

We traveled to Anfield more in hope than real anticipation. We left it in shambles, putting on what was an absolutely dire performance and perhaps the worst of the season.

Situation Critical

It's like staring down the barrel of a gun. You don't know for sure what's going to come out in the end, but there's one outcome you most definitely don't want. Such is the lurch West Ham United are in at the moment.

Time For A Change

Now don't let the headline fool you. This isn't another article recommending we get rid of Big Sam, proclaiming the season to surely end in relegation if he stays. But there are enough worrying signs about that point to a change certainly being needed.

Welcome Back Carlton

News abounds tonight with stories of Carlton Cole's imminent return to the Boleyn Ground on a short term deal that will give the club a desperately needed third striking option.

Disappointment.

Disappointment. That one word sums up how the transfer window has winded up for West Ham United. It was a tough choice for a one word summary, being torn between "disappointment" and "failure".

2013/2014 Season Preview

So here we stand on the eve of another Premier League season. Transfer activity for most clubs in England’s top flight has been eerily quiet, perhaps leading towards a calm before the storm.

Much Ado About Nothing

With the way some West Ham supporters are moaning, one would be excused for thinking we've had the most disastrous transfer window in recent memory. That's far from the case.

Analyzing Andy

With the signing of Andy Carroll, on a six year deal, confirmed yesterday, West Ham United have entered a new era. While much has been made on this site of the ambition displayed by owners David Gold and David Sullivan as well as manager Sam Allardyce, yesterdays acquisition was the surest sign yet.

Can't Wait Til June 20th?

We know our readers well. And like us the anticipation on exactly what the new Adidas kit was going to look like was overwhelming. Well here we have it. Away kit is especially class but both tops are nice. It's good to be back in Adidas. All credit to @djleon1983 on Twitter for the snaps. Next season can't come soon enough.

Trouble In The Town Pt. 2

Running down Rycroft Way, just off Tottenham High Road, the plan was to turn off down Somerset Road and get back onto the High Street. It'd been better to be their from the start by the coppers hadn't given you that choice had they?

Welcome The Rat!

The squad strengthening has already begun in earnest, with West Ham signing Romanian international Razvan Rat on a free after his contract expires in June.

Trouble In The Town Pt. 1

Loafers weren't exactly a treat to run in, now were they? Looked the dogs bollocks but when you're taking off down the street trying to avoid the Old Bill they didn't come in handy. Getting rid of 'em would probably be quicker. But they're brand new, ain't they? Not tossing these ones away.

Happy Birthday Bobby!

On what would have been his 72nd birthday, here's 12 minutes of Bobby at his best. From Barking to Wembley, he is a legend in every since of the word. Too often that term is tossed around, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who has done more to bring prestige, honour and success to West Ham United and English football in general.

Our Thoughts on The Move

March 22, 2013. The day it all changed, for better or worse. A week ago today the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, announced that West Ham United Football Club had been chosen as tenants for the Olympic Stadium.

Time To Light The Fire

Let's pretend we all have a time machine for a minute. We'll take a journey back to January of 2011. Whatever happiness any West Ham supporter happened to be experiencing in their personal lives it certainly was most likely juxtaposed with an extreme case of nerves due to West Ham's place in the table.

West Ham 2 Norwich 1

Bit weird to be on the other side of the calls isn't it? While saying West Ham were lucky to do would certainly be a stretch, Mark Clattenburg definitely did us a bit of a favor in awarding a penalty to the Hammers with barely a minute gone in the match.

Hopes and Wishes

Ahhh, January. The start of a New Year and yet another transfer window. Hope for a better year, or continuance of a good year past, dodgy "in the know' accounts on Twitter and ridiculous speculation in regards to who your club is going to bring in. Isn't it a magical time?

West Ham 0 Reading 1

Dire. Only way to describe today's performance. James Collins, a model of inconsistency if there ever was one, gifted Reading only their second win of the season with an absolute howler only five minutes into the match. What followed was one of the most agonizing performances of the season.

West Ham 0 West Bromich Albion 0

Winston Reid, a shining example of the sort of solid central defender we've lacked for awhile now, had maybe his most impressive display of the season so far as West Ham and West Brom played out a scoreless draw at The Hawthorns. Yes, it was The Hawthorns. The need for a reminder comes with West Brom being perhaps the quietest supporters in the EPL. Maybe our lads were out in full voice. Either way. throughout what was largely a middling match with bursts of action, "Forever Blowing Bubbles" and "Come On You Irons" echoed without fail.
