It took only four minutes for Carlos Tevez to show Hammers fans how much we all wished he was still in Claret and Blue. Tevez side footed a simple goal to put City ahead and we all wondered if this was going to be a long Monday evening.
City continued [...]

For so long it looked like the Hammers would beat the curse and make it into the last 16 of the Carling Cup. Seven out of the last eight seasons the Hammers haven’t progressed and they were within five minutes of being there.
After a back and forth first half, it was star defender [...]
West Ham 2-3 Liverpool
By: Martin | No Comments
It was really disappointing not to pick up a point against an in form Liverpool side. After coming back from behind twice, it looked good up to the 75th minute until the Spanish superstar Fernando Torres scored his second of the game.
Hammers started well enough with Zavon Hines striking the post [...]
And Now, The End Is Near, And So I Face…

From news reports this week, it is becoming clearer that Dean Ashton may be at the end of his playing career. The talk this week was of the Hammers cashing on the insurance policies and sending Deano out to pasture. The 25 year old has not made any recovery in the last year since his [...]
Hammers Pick Up Another Striker
By: Martin | No Comments
Looks like the Hammers have snatched up another striker, this time out-of-contract Guillermo Franco, most recently at the Spanish club, Villarreal. The 32 year old Argentinean, but plays for Mexico, has been a decent goalscorer, hitting 14 goals in 81 appearances with Villarreal and 6 goals in 19 international matches with the Mexican national team.

Wigan 1-0 West Ham
By: Martin | No Comments
A big disappointment for the Hammers. After being so successful at Wigan over the last two seasons, the Hammers were involved in a pretty boring match up and lost to a single goal from Rodallega, ten minutes after half time. The first half saw a couple of great saves from Rob [...]

Zola Rents a Ferrari
By: Martin | 7 Comments
But this Ferrari is 17 years old, does not go much over 10 mph and will surely cost more in the long run than a brand spanking new F430. Apparently Zola managed to secure the services of Davide Ferrari from Brescia Calcio before the transfer window, but due to obtaining clearances, the deal was not [...]
Lucas Neill: Spain or Sunderland? Duh…
By: Martin | 4 Comments
Yesterday every news outlet was reporting that Lucas Neill, the out of contract Hammer, had joined Atlético Madrid for a £2 million payday, but today it’s all gone Pete Tong. British tabloids are reporting today that Lucas is now linked with Sunderland and could expect a cool £3 million contract.
Atlético needed cover for [...]
Bean Counters “Spill The Beans”
By: Martin | 1 Comment
The Guardian reported today that it has received a copy of the clubs accounts for the year ending 2008 and they are not happy bedtime reading. The bottom line is that at the end of 2008 the Hammers had net debt and contingent liabilities approaching £100m.
The problems were so bad that the club breached [...]
