For West Ham fans, the Dimitri Payet saga is over. The French international has been sold by the club to Marseille for £25 million, marking the end of a brief but spectacular run for the midfielder in London. The move closes a circle that began with a £10.7 million transfer from Marseille to West Ham […]

It’s hard to imagine what else could go wrong for West Ham United this season. After a successful season in 2015-16, and a move to a bigger stadium, this year was supposed to be when they became more than a midtable team. All has not gone according to plan, however. Poor performances and stadium issues plagued […]

In one month’s time, the transfer window will open and teams around the world will spend massive amounts of money to improve their squad. The Premier League, a league with teams with money to burn will likely throw around the most cash. Every team is always looking to improve their squad, but these five teams […]

West Ham United supporters must feel like the Olympic Stadium is in a foreign country rather than their home ground. The Hammers have managed only four points of their opening five league matches. They even fell out of the Europa League in the qualification stage, losing to Romanian side Astra Giurgiu. European football was supposed to be […]

In their final game at the Boleyn Ground, West Ham United took the lead early against Manchester United in a very important game with top four implications. Manuel Lanzini brought the play deep into Man United’s attacking area and then crossed back to Diafra Sakho near the top of the box. Sakho then was fortunate […]

That second half of the Leicester City/West Ham game went through all the ups and downs a team would experience in a season in about 45 minutes. Red cards, penalties, non penalties and golazos headlined this game that somehow ended in a 2-2 draw. The craziness started in the 56th minute as Jamie Vardy received […]

Normally, this kind of deal is reserved for teams in the United States. Where the city and their taxpayers are building a new stadium for a team, paying the majority of the costs and the team pays little to no rent to use that stadium. Normally, if you are a professional soccer team in England, […]

Well, that’s not entirely true. West Ham’s Andy Carroll scored three goals and technically were within eight minutes but separated by halftime. Regardless, it’s an incredible feat that helped West Ham achieve a 3-3 draw against Arsenal. His first, a powerful header off a cross from Aaron Cresswell in the 44th minute put West Ham […]

I’ll admit, the title of this piece is bold, but West Ham have been one of the most consistent teams in the Premier League this season. While this may come down to a lack of pressure from the belief that they are punching above their weight, West Ham have blossomed under Slaven Bilic. It couldn’t […]

A fast start in the Manchester City vs. West Ham game as it took the Hammers less than a minute to find the match’s first goal. It was Enner Valencia who got West Ham in front early with a fantastic goal that was set up by a Cheikhou Kouyaté cross into center of the box that found […]

For some clubs, reaching the Champions League is a requirement. Missing out on the top-four would be considered a complete disaster. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and their cross-town neighbors, United, are expected to be in Europe’s elite club competition. This year, however, with Chelsea falling apart in the first half of the […]

Liverpool needed a good result against West Ham United if they hoped to put further pressure on the top-4. Instead, after 90 minutes it was the Hammers who came away with the three points. West Ham defeated Liverpool on the back of goals from Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll. West Ham came into today’s match unbeaten […]

Goalkeepers don’t usually come out of their goal unless it’s absolutely necessary and West Ham needed a goal to equalize against Leicester City. Adrian ran up for the free kick, inside stoppage time to try and be a hero for the Hammers. Instead… he did this. I have to admit, I didn’t see the play […]
