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…

The Premier League Hokey Cokey

This season, more than ever, there has been an outcry for the sacking of managers. From Bilic to Wenger, fans aren’t happy and are making it increasingly clear across social media. Always interested in hearing what everyone has to say, I conducted some very official research in the form of two Twitter polls, taken a…

Mexico’s influence on European football

Javier Hernandez, more commonly known as “Chicharito”, secured his status as one of Mexico’s greats having scored against Costa Rica in the World Cup qualifiers on Friday.

Positive or unrealistic?

West Ham are the club that get your hopes up and absolutely obliterate them. They’re the club that are beating Tottenham 2-1 at 89′ but manage to lose 3-2 by full time. They’re the club with the most ups and downs but also the club with the fans who are there simply for the love…

Player profile: Aaron Cresswell

Having joined West Ham in 2014, Aaron Cresswell signed a five year contract for an undisclosed fee, believed to be just under £4million. By early 2015, Cresswell went on to be named ‘Hammer of the Year’ and ‘Player’s Player’. In June 2015, he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2020, with…

West Ham… Where are we going wrong?

This afternoon, David Sullivan and David Gold released a statement in which they promised fans: “We will turn our season around.” Twitter exploded, with many continuing to criticise the club for the recent run of results, leaving me wondering what they could do differently at this point. Currently, sitting in 18th position in the league,…
