West Ham took on Hull in what was considered to be a relegation scrap. With both teams needing the points Hull boss Phil Brown was more than happy to include Jimmy Bullard in the starting line-up and he proved instrumental for the Tigers. Zola was also able to bring back a star of his own [...]

West Ham’s dominant performance somehow ended with the Hammers gaining no points from the match. Injury stricken Everton put out a strong and experienced side which included the likes of goalscorer Saha and talisman Fellaini. West Ham, also struck by injuries to Carlton Cole and Herita Ilunga were forced to play Zavon Hines and Guille Franco [...]

10 man Aston Villa couldn’t quite hold on against a West Ham side with problems of their own. Both Carlton Cole and Herita Ilunga had to be subbed off during the first half because of injury. After these setbacks, it just got better and better for Zola and his men. A Mark Noble penalty was [...]

West Ham enter this mid week game against Aston Villa, sitting in 19th position with 7 points and only one win so far in the Premier League. Aston Villa on the other hand are sitting pretty in 7th with 19 points, just 1 behind 4th placed Manchester City. O’Neill’s men have been in fantastic form, Fabio [...]

Yes, I’m back! However, it is unfortunate that my team seem to have moved backwards in the world of football. Gaining 7 points and sitting in 19th position so far is not the best position. Thank God that I have been stuck at school and only been able to go to one match so far. Luckily [...]

This game was an annual encounter between the two sides. Woodside Park, the home of Bishops Stortford FC, serves as the West Ham reserves home ground. It seemed that Alex Dyer the reserve team coach wanted to keep this allegiance with his squad that he put in front of the Conference South team. A ten-man [...]

Alex Dyer lead a team out against Thurrock and the Hammers were winners by just a one goal margin. Calum Davenport who last season was one of the loanees sent out by the Hammers to Sunderland was in the side and new signing Franck Nouble was playing as well in an attacking 4-3-3 formation.
Team Line-up

So, it has arrived and funnily enough it is a terrible shirt with a terrible design. There is retro and then there is old-fashioned, this is definitely in the old-fashioned category.
Whilst the away kit has grown on me, I don’t think that this ghastly thing will. Unfortunately for Ray Winston he was chosen to model [...]

Gianfranco put out a young and inexperienced side against Grays Athletic but the team managed to complete a comfortable 2-1 win against the local side. Zola used 22 players in all throughout the match with Julien Faubert and Kieron Dyer catching the eye. However this was a day for the youngsters, with academy products Zavon [...]

So, it has been revealed and is on sale, but what do I think about the new West Ham away kit. As with tradition it is a dark colour as last years was the lighter blue, so they have made this one navy blue. The stripe down the middle adds something “special” to the shirt [...]
