Football Friday

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:

West Ham – Turning A Corner

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…

A Nice Break

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.

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…
