#WelcomeMario

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…

Shrewsbury Preview

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…

Player Profile: Leander Dendoncker

Age: 22Height: 1.89m  Standing at 6 ft 2, RSC Anderlecht player Leander Dendoncker is on West Ham’s watch-list, and is one of Hollseey’s most exciting prospects for the January transfer window. A defensive midfielder who can also play as a centre-back or in central midfield, Dendoncker is versatile. With the ability to play with his…

‘That’ jumper

The last couple of days has seen an image of a jumper from H&M go viral. I thought I’d ask people’s opinions on Twitter to see what everyone was thinking, and one thing has become increasingly apparent. Everybody has an opinion, but a lot of people forget that until you’ve been in a situation, or…

Monday Funday

Happy Monday! What a week it’s been! We got our first ‘proper’ win in a while… smashing Stoke 3-0 and slowly starting our climb up the table. Moyes has certainly impressed me and I have to say I was completely wrong with my initial feelings prior to his appointment. We look a completely different team…

West Ham v Arsenal

Tonight could turn our season around. I’ve said from the start that mindset and confidence is key in getting results, and tactically we’ve shown massive improvement in recent games. Scoring first against City and Chelsea as well as holding the Blues to a clean sheet, things are certainly looking up and three points against the…

No Phone Zone

I’m not one to air my dirty laundry, but Vodafone have come between me and my ability to tweet… which is not cool. I present to you… a story slightly longer than the Hobbit… My recent experience with Vodafone. After dropping my phone which smashed rather horrifically, I had to get it repaired. I’m insured…

Happy December

It’s that time of the year, and once again, I have absolutely no idea how Christmas crept up so quickly. Anybody who knows me will be fully aware of how excited I get about this time of year… and this time around is no different. … However… Before all that jolliness, I would like to…

All Eyes On Moyes

Today is the big day. West Ham face Watford away and we need to make a statement and start distancing ourselves from the relegation zone. While in the ideal world you wouldn't hire the guy who came 20th last season to save West Ham from a potential relegation battle, Sunderland are now at the bottom…

Farewell Bilic

I've stayed relatively quiet on the whole Bilic 'in or out' argument, but thought I'd take the opportunity to comment, given today's announcement. I don't think I've wanted anybody to succeed as much as I have with Bilic, but over the last month, I began to realise he had to go if we were going…
