How Will West Ham Beat Chelsea?
After a terrible performance against Bolton, West Ham visit troubled Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. We have seen everything from West Ham this season, so much drama on and off the field. Even so, there was never doubting the commitment of the players....until the Bolton game last week. In reality, there is only one way forward after an uncharacteristically disinterested performance by the Hammers

2009/2010 Barclays Premier League Week 28 Review: The Weekend's Three Best Footballing Moments
Only four Premier League matches were played but there were significant matches indeed. Significant because both Arsenal and Manchester United took full advantage of Chelsea's involvement in the FA Cup. The Red Devils now top the Premier League table with 63 points and Arsenal ensured that the race to the Premiership title becomes a three-horse race. West Ham's disappointing loss to

Liverpool in Europa League: 10 Things You Need To Know About Lille OSC
Liverpool have had a mixed month of football prior to their Europa League Round of 16 match against French Ligue 1 side Lille. In between beating Unirea Urziceni, Liverpool have displayed their best (against Blackburn), their worst (against Wigan) and their most boring (against Man City) performances. They are probably the most underperforming team in the English Premier League. Having a "

Another False Dawn For West Ham United!
Boy, West Ham needed a win against Bolton but Bolton, being our bogey team, it was all going to be difficult, wasn't it? If not for two early goals, we could have made a good stab at winning but now we go into the next two matches against Chelsea and Arsenal, knowing that West Ham could end up once again in the bottom three. Once again, West Ham were let down by terrible defending. Every cross

The Wenger Gyrations, Cristiano Worshippers And Rafa Benitez Is A DVD Pirate And "Silhouette"?
The horrendous pictures of Aaron Ramsey's broken tibia and fibula continued to haunt my weekend's memories. The best part of the weekend's matches was that West Ham United stays 13th, three points above the drop zone with all rivals playing the same amount of games. A good home win against Bolton will further consolidate the Hammers' position in the Premier League table. Hilario and Obi Mikel

The West Ham Connection In The England World Cup Team
West Ham have always prided themselves as the club which won England the 1966 World Cup. Of course, Martin Peters, Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst were heroes on that night. They were also West Ham United players as well. This year's World Cup, England also have a significant West Ham and ex-West Ham flavour to it. Players like Rob Green, David James, Matthew Upson, Rio Ferdinand, Carlton Cole and

Steven Gerrard Is The Best Midfielder In England
Suffering the embarassment of playing in the Europa League for the first time since winning the UEFA Cup, Liverpool went to Romania to face Unirea Urziceni for a place in the last 16. The Reds duly beat the Romanian champions 3-1 but not without an early goal scare by Unirea. Steven Gerrard scored a goalpoacher type goal and became the highest scoring Englishman in Europe since Alan Shearer.

The Double and The Dramatic Late Winner - Goals From West Ham's Victories Over Manchester United
The last time West Ham was embroiled in a relegation struggle was in 2006/2007. It was also the season where the transfer controversy of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano dominated the headlines. As it were, Carlitos played an influential part in securing Premiership survival that season. His enthusiastic, energetic and tireless workrate earned him the affection of the West Ham fans. This season

A Great Weekend For Hammer Fans - Is West Ham On Their Way To Safety?
After a thumping 3-0 win over Hull City, the confidence and morale of the entire West Ham squad must be sky high. Zola was actually smiling during the post-match interview, looking very much a relieved man. And he should be, after all, West Ham have achieved their first back-to-back victory since the 2009/2010 season started. Looking clean shaven and relaxed for a change, he spoke about how

West Ham United v. Hull City Preview And Matchup
After a much needed home win against Birmingham, West Ham start again this weekend with another "winnable" match against Hull City. In fact, it's more than just a "winnable" match, Saturday's encounter with Hull is really a must-win crucial match for West Ham. Considering that it's a trip to Old Trafford after this, successive wins will instill a whole lot of confidence among the players. Hull's

Same Old Story At Burnley For West Ham, How Long Before Zola Gets The Sack?
A McCarthy goal line clearance, a shuddering Stanislas free kick against the crossbar, a stoppage time Mido header against the post, a Scott Parker save by the Beast and a disallowed Cole goal. Hammer fans will rue their team's luck when they look back at this match. However, West Ham fans must be sick to the stomach watching the many times that poor defending has undermine the Irons season. West

Now The Season Really Begins For West Ham, Burnley Beware!
From having no fit senior striker to five available strikers in the space of one week has got to be the most talked about Premier League transfer story of the January 2010 window. Gianfranco Zola must be extremely excited going into this weekend's Burnley encounter at Turf Moor. The bolstered attacking muscle will be expected to inspire the Hammers to only their second away win of this season's

Will Mido Be More Zlatan Ibrahimovich Or Tomas Brolin For West Ham?
Continuing with the third and final segment of my look at the three sensational West Ham signings from the January 2010 transfer window....Mido. This loan signing is probably the hardest for fans like myself to build an opinion on. On his day, Hammer fans can be treated to some sublime skills, but also, as is evident in the 10 clubs that he has been at, Mido can be frustratingly lazy and

What West Ham Fans Don't Know About Benni McCarthy
The long awaited signing of South Africa record goal scorer, Benedict Saul McCarthy finally took place on the final day of transfer window deadline. A move that brought a thumbs-up from former Hammer, Tony Cottee who is thrilled at the prospect of a Cole-McCarthy partnership. Cottee said this, “Carlton Cole is a very good player and I would like to see somebody alongside him. A good old

Six Facts Worth Knowing About West Ham's Araujo Ilan
Before you say the only Ilan I know is of the Lotus kind, Ilan Araujo Dall'Igna is a former Brazilian international and an extremely skilful footballer. I doubt if anyone have heard of him before the signing and though it looks like a gamble from Zola, it could be a potentially influential signing as well. All I know is that I am standing behind and supporting the club as I believe West Ham need

2009/2010 Barclays Premier League Week 22 - 24 Review: Chelsea Still On Top!
There were a lot of matches being played from January 18th to January 31st, just to catch up with the Premiership schedule and to make up for that snow-stopped weekend. It was also a period where the Premier League leadership changed hands a few times. The week started with Chelsea at the top, and when Arsenal beat Bolton 4-2 (another great Fabregas display) in the Emirates, Arsenal became top

Luis Jimenez - An Experiment Gone Wrong
The new Karren Brady executive management has come in and swiftly rung changes through the ranks of West Ham United. One of these cost cutting measures was to deem Luis Jimenez surplus to requirements. Originally on loan until the end of the season, the Chilean "El Mago" is now transferred to Italian Serie A strugglers, Parma. But how did he perform in the Premiership? Telegraph has the

Rory Delap: From Midfield Dynamo To Awesome Throw-In Specialist
Rory John Delap first came into Premiership prominence after a big-money move from Derby County to Southampton. He was seen at that time as an uncompromising midfielder who couples impressive forward runs with strong tackling and excellent passing. That's what I remembered him as, a fantastic athlete who was never flashy but very effective. He could even chip in with some spectacular goals from

West Ham Rumours: David Bentley And Benni McCarthy Reunited Can Guarantee Goals
David Bentley? That pampered, self-centred Arsenal and Spurs reject? According to the UK tabloids, West Ham is rumoured to be trying to bring David Bentley to West Ham on a loan deal. Spurs and Harry Redknapp are currently reported also to be enticing Eidur Gudjohnsen over to White Hart Lane in a hijack move. If that's the attitude that the Iceman has, then he's not the man to lead the Hammers

The Next Five Matches Will Decide West Ham's Premiership Future
Getting knocked out of the FA Cup early allowed West Ham to rest up and recuperate from the injury problems which have plagued the club this season. This turned out to be a good thing, seeing that the next five matches will definitely decide if West Ham stay up or will line up alongside the likes of Queens Park Rangers next season. First up is Portsmouth who are playing well but just not getting
