This week we have news of another disastrous week of European football for the only Scottish team left in the Champions League and the third managerial casualty of the season tries to make ends meet with his Giro.

It could be worse…

1
Ok so the dust has settled and my anger has subsided (a bit anyhow) and I have come to the conclusion, that life as a football supporter could be worse... we could be Newcastle! Sure we have no left-back on our squad until at least January, and half the players we have are unfit and unavailable. [... Click to continue reading...

We’ve been had!

1
Originally I was going to comment on Alan Curbishley's comment in mid-August when he said in the press to "judge me after the transfer window closes"... I think though that our poor manager no longer has any control over who comes and goes from Upton Park, and personally I think all of us Hammers supporters [. Click to continue reading...

West Ham v Blackburn… Incey Wincey Spider returns

0
So tomorrow marks the return of Paul Ince, the most hated man in modern West Ham history - for the kids out there who can't remember us Hammers dislike Mr Ince because once upon a time, not so long ago, he played for us. That is until one day Man U came along and stole [...] Click to continue reading...

…and we were singing

0
I spent last night down at the Boleyn ground, singing! Oh and watching the Hammers put in a pitiful display of footballing skill. Mostly though I was singing. I was singing a new little ditty called "You're going to get the sack in the morning." It was a catchy little tune, created on the spot by [.. Click to continue reading...

Anton switch confirmed

1
The sale of Anton Ferdinandto Sunderland was confirmed today by the club for an undisclosed fee (rumours estimate his sale cost the Black Cats between £6-8 million). The club website reports that Anton's move was "in the best interest of the club", something that I find hard to believe unless they are speaking in purely [. Click to continue reading...

Ferdinand set to leave, McCartney set to return

1
All signs seem to indicate that Anton Ferdinand is heading to the Northeast to play for Sunderland. A move that I think is bad business by West Ham who seem anything but solid at the back, but the board wants to thin the squad and I guess Ferdinand is part of that cull. Surprising news though [...] Click to continue reading...

Squeaky Bum Time

If you are any where in the region of East London today, and you listen out your window around 4:45pm you will hear one of two sounds - a groan of "here we go again!" or a great sigh of relief.

West Ham V Wigan Preview

Our first match of the season and already I feel it is a must win situation. It will be matches against teams like Wigan, Stoke, West Brom and Hull that will set us up for the rest of the season.

Curbishley baffled by the boo boys

0
From the Soccerblog.org; West Ham United manager Alan Curbishley has called on the club's fans to stop booing trialist Ben Thatcher. "I didn't quite understand it," he said. "I don't think George will be too far away so we're looking for some experienced cover and we took the opportunity to give Ben half a game. Click to continue reading...

Predicting the Premiership

Everybody has an opinion. Some are based on instinct, some based on feeling from the heart, like my mate Lenny who insists that West Ham are going to finish fourth!

Curbishley’s Chances of Survival

0
Alan Curbishley is upset - the bookies have made him the favourite to get the sack! He does insist that he has "the full backing of the club", but how many times have we heard that before?

Hmm who gets the cup?

The inaugural Bobby Moore Cup was played today, leaving me with some questions: Now that Carlton Cole has managed to score a goal, can we call him 'in form'? Have we sunk to such depths as a club that we might actually be considering signing Ben Thatcher? Is there an actual Bobby Moore Cup? And since the game ended in [. Click to continue reading...

As the BBC announces Steve McClaren will be a part of their Euro2008 coverage team.  I'll just let that sink in.  Yes, it's that Steve McClaren.  The failed English national team coach who failed to take the team to Euro2008.  He will now be providing "expert analysis" on the game during a tournament he failed to go [.

Comment: The MLS Season Begins, and for once- I care.

1
 I'm not going to lie- I last regularly watched the MLS in 2006, before and after the World Cup in Germany, when myself and many other American soccer fans were thirsting for more sport to watch.   ESPN/ABC were giddy with successful ratings from the international competition and began showing many of the domestic matches on the main channels.
