May 13th, 2008 · Comments Off on End of the season · Life

The end of the (Premier) football season was only slightly exciting for West Ham fans.  After seven of eight months lodged at number ten in the table there was a slight mathematical chance of slipping to eleventh on the last day – but only if Spurs beat Liverpool, which wasn’t going to happen was it?

Barcelona were awesome last night but they still couldn’t score against Man Utd. who were even better – and that was without Rooney!  How on earth are we going to avoid a pasting on Saturday when Rooney is back in the team?

Pompey time

April 8th, 2008 · Comments Off on Pompey time · Life

Its good to see Portsmouth in the FA Cup final, and I wish them well there, but it would be good to see them trip up at West Ham tomorrow night.  Not that there is a lot of excitement about the result of the fixture.

I’ve seen the future – and its called Freddie Sears!   That is one lad who must be still pinching himself today.   An 18-year-old West Ham supporter, plucked from the reserves to sit on the bench in a Premier League game, he came on as a sub for the last quarter of an hour and scored […]

In a mere 8 days the Hammers have managed to lose three games 4-0 and turn a positive goal difference of 8 into a negative 4.  But let’s try and look on the bright side…

Bloody typical

February 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life

In retrospect it was almost inevitable: on the weekend when West Ham had a great chance to move up one or two places they blew it, and not only that, but the buffer between us and the bottom half of the table reduced from 8 to 7 points.  All we had to do was get […]

Confident

February 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life

The close of the January transfer window arrived today, with no last-minute surprise deals for West Ham.  The only activity from the Hammers in the transfer market in the whole month was to sell Hogan Ephraim to QPR and let three players go on loan.

Happy days are here again?

December 31st, 2007 · 1 Comment · Life

Well… I was hoping for at least three points for the Hammers over the holidays and already they have four. I didn’t dare hope for a home win against Man Utd., but that’s what we got.

They all count

December 22nd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Life

A great win for West Ham today with two cruelly-timed goals: one just before half time and one on 90 minutes.   Another minute and it would have been a draw, but whether its by a sneaky injury-time goal or by 5-0 its still the same three points. Its looking good though.  25 points from 17 […]
