West Ham entered the season with an abundance of talent on the wings having spent big in fees and wages on the likes of Andre Ayew and Sofiane Feghouli. However, the departure of Dimitri Payet during the January transfer window, albeit softened by the arrival of Robert Snodgrass from Hull, has left a sizeable hole in […]
Despite a rocky start to the season, West Ham have battled hard in the New Year and find themselves comfortably in the top half of the Premier League, well adrift of any relegation scrap. This upturn in form has been largely down to the collective performance of the team but there have been a couple […]
West Ham’s 2016 summer transfer window is largely a forgettable one. Although the likes of Edimilson Fernandes, Ashley Fletcher and Sofiane Feghouli look like they could become decent players for the Hammers, the less said about Alvaro Arbeloa, Gokhan Tore and Simone Zaza the better. Despite a poor start to the season, Slaven Bilic and […]
West Ham were reportedly interested in signing Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke on loan until the end of the season during the January transfer window, but the move, just like approaches for Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Cesc Fabregas, failed to materialise. Solanke’s contract at Chelsea was winding down and is due to expire at the end of […]
Michail Antonio has been one of the standout performers for West Ham this season and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. During the January transfer window, Antonio was heavily linked with a move across the city to Chelsea to add to their possible wing-back options but the Hammers were adamant that he was not for sale at […]
Since Dimitri Payet left the club in January, Manuel Lanzini has really stepped up to the plate with two goals and three assists in West Ham’s last five games. Many believe that ‘the little jewel’ will make the step up and fill the sizeable void Payet left but could the Hammers be dealing with a […]
It’s hard to imagine West Ham without ‘Mr. West Ham’ himself, and Mark Noble shares that same view. The club captain has been with the Hammers his entire professional career which is now close to thirteen years young after making his debut for the club as a 17-year-old in 2004. Noble eats, sleeps, breathes West […]
Michail Antonio’s fine 2016 form was rewarded when then England manager Sam Allardyce named the winger in his one and only international squad before being relieved of his duties after just 67 days. Unfortunately for the former Nottingham Forest standout, he failed to get on the pitch and earn his first cap for his country and […]
Despite 90 minutes of controlled and composed football, thoroughly outplaying the opposition (no, I’m not bitter), West Ham could only come away with a point last time out against the Baggies thanks to a last-gasp equaliser from Gareth McAuley. The Hammers were forced to play the game without their most in-form player in Andy Carroll […]
West Ham had a chance to close the gap on the Midlands club this weekend with a win but despite their best efforts they were cruelly denied all three points. The Hammers were dealt a blow before the game when they were forced to rule out Andy Carroll from featuring due to an ongoing groin […]
West Ham have enjoyed a great Winter period on the whole, winning six of their last nine Premier League games which has helped them rise to ninth in the table. Sod the FA Cup, though, don’t bother talking about that. Next up for the Hammers is the visit of West Brom tomorrow afternoon at the […]
While professional footballers are obligated to wear the uniforms of their teams their individual personalities come through in many ways. Today, tattoos are some of the most visible and rich ways in which players are showing off their unique personalities and individuality. From religious iconography and good luck talismans to the deeply personal and idiosyncratic, […]
