Fairly happy with the away point at Upton Park at the weekend despite the missed penalty from former star and current Hammer hate-figure, Jermaine Defoe in the last minute. Juande Ramos’ high pressure game is starting to bear fruit and with Berbatov playing in the hole we looked a good side. continue reading

A comfortable away win, with the squad players gelling well and leaving Liverpool just 3 points behind second-placed Man Utd with a game in hand.

Is it me but I find the international breaks a little bit of a distraction from the real business of league football. I miss my (bi) weekly fix of the mood altering drug that is being a West Ham United fan. The highs and lows produced on the whim of the fates is only good enough until the next time. continue reading

This lack of international success was not the only feature that these two countries shared. continue reading

England coach, Steve McClaren, looks like he has decided that the crunch game against Croatia tonight is the time to stamp his authority on the team and drop some big names. Out go David Beckham, painfully two short of a hundred caps, and Paul Robinson after some high profile blunders in goal. I’ll tell you what, a bit more of this strong management style might continue reading
