“If there was any other club in this situation, then we would not be buying it. We bought this as supporters, not from a business point of view.”

The comments from Gold and Sullivan as they faced the press after buying their 50% controlling stake in West Ham filled many of [...]
Bets suspended on Zola being next to get chop
For me, it makes for pretty gutting reading, but all bets on Zola to be the next manager to be sacked have been suspended because of unusual betting patterns. According to this source, one London based customer was “looking to place a five figure sum” when the price was 5-1
The spokesman for William Hill has [...]
BREAKING NEWS: Tony Fernandes being shown round Upton Park
I’ve just heard from several sources (contacts + TalkSport) that Tony Fernandes is being shown round Upton Park and Chadwell Heath as we speak (although this depends on when you read this!)
Again believing of rumours is entirely your discretion, but I’m reporting what I’m hearing!

‘Smug’ Bolton 3 – 1 ‘Sorry’ West Ham
“Unusually confident for some reason. I’m sure there’s every chance this will come back to bite me – but I’ll happily take that risk”
Sam H – 16/12/09 – The Makings of an Epic
It did.
It would seem that Bolton had every right to be smug about last night’s fixture. And I’m sure had they known the [...]
Referee? Strikers? Tactics? Or all of the above?
The Villa result at Upton Park midweek was massive. We worked hard for that result and general consensus is that we got what we deserved (just). What it meant to the fans to the players and to Zola/Clarke(/even Kevin Keen) was clear for all to see.
So optimism and expectation was high going into the Everton [...]
How would you respond to an Eggert return?
It’s clear we need somebody to takeover our club, we need that added financial security – although I’d be pretty gutted if we just turned into another City to be honest. However, fortunately, I don’t see that happening.
Despite the need for this added security, we don’t find ourselves in the situation that The Mirror quite [...]
Why can’t we beat City?
Regular visitors to my blog will know that I try my upmost to be optimistic about each and every West Ham game, considering each one as it comes. The trouble with being an optimistic Hammer is that you do end up setting yourself up quite nicely for what can sometimes be a considerable fall.
Often face-first.

Season Preview (2): Transfer Window Has Shut – Where Will We Finish Now? [POLL]
Now that the transfer window has shut, I think we are in a better position to predict where we will finish this year. I posted earlier in August a couple of posts: Season Preview Part 1: It’s all in the Mix and Where will we finish next year? [POLL]
In my first preview of the 2009/10 [...]
Season Preview Part 1: It’s all in the mix
Once again we stand poised on the brink of a new season. Zola has had his first pre-season with a predominantly young side that he his keen to develop into mature, expressive and techinically able team players. Knowing the players that we have bubbling under particularly excites me.
The future prospects we have in Stanilas, Hines, [...]
The Future Starts Here
In the midst of reams of fabricated garbage regarding the past, the current and the future of West Ham, slowly emerging are glimpses of what we actually and truthfully can expect. In my lifetime of supporting West Ham, I don’t think I have ever been this excited for following season before the current one has [...]
