http://hammers.theoffside.com News from West Ham United English Premiership football team Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:27:39 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Today for the first time our current economic woes became worth talking about, with the news that West Ham will not be able to spend money on new players any time soon. This news was followed by several reassurances from club insiders that the chairman still has significant resources and ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/financial-meltdown-hits-west-ham.html This was truly a taste of our own medicine. Today's game was a carbon copy of last week's win at Fulham, for the other team that is. Two goalkeeping errors in the first half gifted the away team victory, as was the case at Craven Cottage the last time out. ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/west-ham-1-3-bolton.html This article intended to address not just current compensation case, but also the general assumption that Tevez kept us up singlehandedly. Don't get me wrong, Apache is an absolute legend, there's no player I would rather see in Claret and Blue. However, it undermines West Ham, and all the other ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/tevez-is-a-legend-but-he-didnt-keep-us-up.html Basically a nothing match that if either team could have won by the odd goal, but in the end we got the rub of the green to take all three points and stay near the top of the table. The first half was pretty much all Fulham, but three minutes ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/fulham-1-2-west-ham.html What a relief to see that despite all the upheaval we are still able to stay true to our traditions and lose to a lower league club. A changed West Ham team played out a fairly even game against a decent and direct Watford side, losing by an unlucky own ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/watford-1-0-west-ham.html What an absolute disgrace. Two years ago West Ham broke a rule that few people knew existed and paid the biggest fine in Premier League history because of it. Fair enough, I can bite the bullet here. However, because a certain team that finished three places below us have been ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/this-is-an-outrage.html What were we expecting from this new beginning with Zola at the helm. I think we all wanted West Ham to score a bunch of goals, and get the win as well of course. Well, we got it. We got entertaining football, two goals from the new guy and three ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/west-ham-3-1-newcastle.html Right, so Curbs is out. The man never stuck me as particularly brave, and though our board is horrible he seemed to blame perhaps too much on them as a whole, and certainly did not take responsibility when it was called for. What actually happened behind the scenes, ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/benvenuto-a.html Some team news first off, apparently Sunderland are attempting to land Anton Ferdinand for around £8 million. Though the money would be nice, and we could bolster both the attack and defence with that, I have to say that I am opposed to the sale if only because it ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/match-preview-west-ham-v-man-city.html Well perhaps that should read Dean Ashton 2-1 Wigan but I'm not picky as to how we win, barring major breaches of international law, of course. As I predicted, Deano scored a brace to net the match's goals. I never would have predicted the goals to be ... http://hammers.theoffside.com/team-news/west-ham-2-1-wigan.html
