A Cheeky Update

The festive season is upon us and I’ve come to the realisation I’ve been neglecting my blog enormously over the last month or so. So here’s a brief mixture of everything that’s been going on: My role at work has changed a fair bit, giving me new challenges and opportunities every day West Ham have…

Goodbye Pellegrini

News surfaced that Pellegrini was returning to Chile for a few days during the international break, and I for one am glad. I know this isn’t an opinion everyone shares, but hear me out… While I’m fully aware footballers and managers are paid millions, I still believe they should have some quality of life and…

West Ham… The Age Old Question

For seasons, the age of our players has been a talking point. Last season saw fans become more frustrated than ever before, signing a 36-year-old Evra, 30-year-old Hart and a 30-year-old Snodgrass, not helped by a poor run of results. We seem to have reached a turning point, with Evra departing and a string of…

A Positive Pre-Season

Pre-season has seen positivity return to the West Ham fan base, boosted by a visible display of financial investment and ambition. Currently boasting the sixth highest spend in the transfer window, we have spent an enormous £85 million, beaten only by Juventus (£200m), Liverpool (£171m), Roma (£99m) and Barcelona (£97m). Some great business has been…

It’s almost time for RideLondon, the event which has seen many of you already donate towards an incredible girl called Isla, who is battling neuroblastoma. There has been a slight hitch in the lead up, as what I’d expected to be the home straight has turned into a battle to fight off a temperature… but…

A Positive World Cup Exit

Last night saw England crash out of the World Cup, beaten 2-1 by Croatia in extra time. The first semi-final we reached in 28 years and our first shot at reaching a World Cup final since 1966, England had gone from assuming we would have an early exit… to well and truly getting our hopes…

It’s Coming Home

A peak audience of 24.4million watched England’s penalty shoot-out live on ITV, in-home this week. The excitement surrounding this World Cup is truly second to none, and as we have all become wrapped up in the dream… all that’s left to say is… It’s coming home. No game is a guarantee, as proven by early…

So VAR So Good?

It’s about time we spoke about the topic of the World Cup… VAR. Having fallen in love with the excitement and fast pace of the beautiful game, I was originally disgusted at the thought of VAR coming in and slowing it down. I was so against the idea that I probably could have been described…
