I don’t know if its right, but at least its out of the way now. Sheffield United have lost their appeal and the chances of the Hammers having points docked retrospectively have dropped from very slim to zero. Now lets get on with the business of selling a truckload of overpaid, pampered players so we […]

You keep me hanging on

The two-day appeal/tribunal/sop-to-Sheffield United finished today, but it turns out we have to wait anything up to two weeks for the result. West Ham’s official position is: West Ham were not and are not a party to the arbitration and our standing as a Premier League club is not in doubt as a result of […]

This bloke sounds almost as excited as I would have been if I had been at Old Trafford…
The Great Escape

I was prepared for the worst today, but hoped Sheffield would do us a favour. What I wasn’t prepared for was West Ham doing the double over Man Utd. (Having already beaten Arsenal home and away) What a finish to the season though – eleven games without a win and then seven wins from the […]
Brown trousers time

West Ham finally clawed their way out of the relegation places today with a 3-1 win over Bolton and are now only behind Chelsea and Man Utd for current form with 6 wins from the last 8 games. I feel rotten about wishing for bad things to happen to Fulham and Charlton – both teams […]
The great escape?

With Charlton losing today and West Ham beating Wigan, survival is still a slight possibility for the Hammers. At the moment we are only in the relegation places by goal difference because we only beat Wigan 3-0. Had we beaten them 6-0 we would have been one place higher. Of course we are now relying […]

How much is a point worth?
April 27th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life
The FA have decided not to dock any points from West Ham over the Mascherano/Tevez deal, but have imposed an enormous £5.5 million fine. The suggestion is that if the Hammers had been in mid-table obscurity and security we might have got some points deducted instead, perhaps with a smaller fine on top. Whether the […]

Comparison of the week

After working all day, then going straight out delivering election addresses it was quite late in the day before I got round to reading what should have been my morning paper, but it was worth it for the West Ham/Everton match report. describing the end of West Ham’s season and the effect it has on […]
Keeping us in suspense
April 21st, 2007 · 4 Comments · Life
The football season is being very cruel this year. West Ham managed another win, while Charlton & Sheffield drew so neither of them has got too out of reach. If we beat Wigan by enough goals we can go above them, but you have to wonder if we are just being strung along and offered […]

Disgusting profligates beaten by West Ham
April 7th, 2007 · 5 Comments · Life
That was the headline on Football365‘s front page today. Apparently Arsenal had 29 attempts on goal while West Ham had about 4. It has been an unexpectedly good weekend so far. This afternoon I went down to Broadfield Park to take some pictures and stay away from the football results, expecting West Ham to get […]
