The news of Pellegrini being announced as our new manager brought both excitement and relief. Proven in many of the world’s top leagues, the Chilean has been a beacon of hope for many, signifying the start of what could potentially be a brilliant 2018/19 season. Here’s why: Bigger Ambitions? Knowing he wouldn’t come on…
It’s not all been doom and gloom at West Ham this season, with reasons to celebrate, albeit in between the stress. Here are just a few of the reasons we can look back at the season in a positive light. Fitness Moyes got players working. The work rate, distance covered and overall intensity of…
It’s time to take a look at our managerial situation. Moyes’ appointment underwhelmed many, and a rollercoaster of a season has left many wondering exactly what went wrong. Taking over from Bilic Moyes’ job was to stop us being relegated, and while he did exactly this, I grew increasingly concerned that it was more luck…
If somebody had told me West Ham would finish 13th in the Premier League, I’d have laughed a few months ago. After the most stressful season I can remember, emotions were high as we escaped relegation, picking up seven points in our last three fixtures to secure our place in the 2018/19 season. As for league…
To celebrate the end of the week, today’s blog celebrates the good news stories in football. Here are my three highlights of the week: Robot Saves The Day Everton made history this week, using AV1; a robot designed by Norwegian start-up No Isolation to enable 14-year-old Jack to fulfil his mascot duties in the club’s…
I truly believe we have saved our season in the last few weeks. Having not found any sort of form, we seemed as though no game was a given when it comes to picking up points, but my faith in West Ham has been restored in recent games. So what’s changed? Behind the scenes, I…
For the first time in a long time, I’ve found myself glad to have had a couple of weeks without fixtures. A season of poor performances, unhappy fans and negative publicity finally reached its tipping point as Burnley won 3-0 and fans took matters into their own hands. Something I made my feelings clear about…
Today is International Women’s Day and it’s been refreshing to see so much positivity on the internet. Something that’s hit close to home is the topic of women in sport. The sports industry, and football in particular is hugely male dominated. It’s been incredible to see more women getting involved and Premier League clubs getting…
Every time I hear the word ‘Bitcoin’, I struggle to get my head around exactly how a currency which doesn’t have a physical appearance can be worth money, but something many people don’t know is that two famous people had very close run-ins with the bitcoin… long before it became popular. 50 Cent let fans…
Where to begin? That was the most frustrating game I have watched in a very long time. With Wigan’s current form, it was never going to be an easy fixture, regardless of which league they are in, but we just didn’t want it enough by the looks of things. Conceding early, we had to get…
It was announced this afternoon that we have signed Inter Milan’s Joao Mario on a loan deal… and just like that, my faith in the transfer window has been restored. The start of the transfer window didn’t look too positive, but this signing certainly has me looking forward to what the rest of the transfer…
Following what Joe Hart accurately described as a “terrible” goalless draw with Shrewsbury Town, tomorrow night we host the League One club in an FA Cup third-round replay. Undeserving of even a draw at New Meadow, here’s hoping we manage to show some passion on the pitch and beat Shrewsbury at home. We have to…
