Despite their messy transfer saga, Dimitri Payet and West Ham both get what they want

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.

There are no winners in Dimitri Payet’s ongoing transfer drama

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 […]

West Ham’s first season at the Olympic Stadium has not been a happy homecoming

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 […]

Report: West Ham United getting sweet deal from British taxpayers for moving into Olympic Stadium

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 […]

Is it time to admit West Ham are favorites for 4th?

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 […]

Shaking up the EPL’s top-four, does a dark horse team have a chance?

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 […]

VIDEO: West Ham GK Adrian tries to score goal, karate kicks himself into red card

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 […]
