West Ham United are in a European final for the first time in almost 50 years and it's a real struggle to come to terms with it. Little ol' West Ham are just 90 minutes away from not just winning a first major trophy since 1980, but a European trophy that will guarantee Europa League football again next season. How on earth did we end up here!? It's mind-boggling, especially when you consider the terrible Premier League campaign we've had to endure. Last Thursday's victory against AZ Alkmaar,

2023/05/16

We are 90 minutes away from a European final. Let that sink in. After last Thursday's 2-1 first-leg semi-final victory over AZ Alkmaar, West Ham only have to avoid defeat this week to book their place in the Europa Conference League final in Prague. It will be our first major final since 2006 and a chance to end 43 years of hurt since lifting the FA Cup in 1980. As a result of all of that, the Premier League has become somewhat irrelevant, evident in David Moyes' team selection in the 2-0 defeat at

West Ham United are safe… well pretty much. A fantastic 1-0 win over Manchester United at London Stadium on Sunday put the Hammers seven points clear of the drop zone and only a miracle from the sides below would see the Irons drop into the Championship. And that means all our focus can now switch to winning the Europa Conference League, starting with this Thursday’s semi-final first-leg at London Stadium against AZ Alkmaar.

2023/05/03

April saw us a welcome revival in form for West Ham but it ended in bitter disappointment thanks to two outrageously bad VAR decisions cost us at least two points from our games against Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Thiago's double handball in the area at London Stadium wasn't even checked by VAR, while Eberechi Eze's dive in the box at Selhurst Park WAS checked, only for the officials on the day to STILL award a penalty, despite there clearly being no contact. Both decisions were bad in their own

2023/04/25

Only a few weeks ago we were fearing relegation and calling for David Moyes to be sacked. Now, we're looking forward to another European semi-final and are edging closer to Premier League safety, following a run of one defeat in 10 games. The last seven days have been the best of the season so far - thrashing Gent 4-1 on Thursday night to set up a Europa Conference League semi-final against AZ Alkmaar kicked things off, before we travelled down to Bournemouth to give them a good hiding, too.

221. The season of juxtaposition

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/04/18

The week started with a drab, underwhelming 1-1 draw in Belgium against Gent and ended with a wonderful, unexpected 2-2 home draw with Premier League leaders Arsenal in Stratford. The debate for some time now has been, would you take relegation if it meant us winning the Conference League, or would you prefer us to stay in the Premier League over winning silverware? It's a rather odd juxtaposition that we find ourselves as we head into a huge week in the club's history. We're 90 minutes away from

Six points from our last three games aren't to be sniffed at, especially as they included two fortunate 1-0 victories and a 5-1 thrashing at home to Newcastle. That run of results leaves us three points above the relegation zone with nine games to play as we now switch our focus to Thursday's Europa Conference League quarter-final first-leg trip to Gent. Then we welcome league leaders and title hopefuls Arsenal to London Stadium on Sunday, which is gearing up to be one of the most predictable

2023/04/04

When you're in a relegation battle, you have to win at all costs. In West Ham's case, the cost of Sunday's victory over Southampton was the sheer lack of optimism the performance gave the fanbase that it will be the game to spark a recovery. We simply had to beat Southampton to avoid slipping to the bottom of the table, instead climbing as high as 14th and a point above the bottom three. But the performance wasn't exactly mind-blowing. If anything, it was mind-numbing. But the three points are all

2023/03/28

We're approaching April hoping that David Moyes has found the magic formula over the international break. West Ham have a run of incredibly important fixtures in both the Premier League and Europe, in a month that will no doubt dictate what the immediate future holds for the football club. It'll either be Premier League football or the Championship for us next season, while there's also a chance of competing in the Europa League if we can find a way of lifting the Conference League in Prague, which

2023/03/14

The 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa didn't give us much hope that the players or the manager are up for the battle to stay in the Premier League. Towards the end, when it was clear Villa weren't too fussed about the result, you wanted to see some fight and effort to find a winner. Instead, Moyes brings Cornet up front instead of Scamacca and we play the final 10 minutes out without barely having a shot on goal. It was like they didn't realise we're in a relegation battle! But at least we have one

It's fair to say we didn't really expect to take anything away from the AMEX on Saturday, but no one saw a 4-0 thrashing, did they? The performance was unacceptable, the result even more so, and now we're back to square one after some positive signs in the win over Forest a week earlier and the FA Cup defeat to Man United at Old Trafford. The performance on Wednesday night had much of the fanbase believing we'd turned a corner. West Ham outplayed United for 70 minutes before a late defensive

2023/02/28

It's been a while since we won a football match, let alone one so comfortably. David Moyes returned to a back four against Nottingham Forest, citing the need for more midfielders post-match, and also gifted Danny Ings his first start since signing for the club. The result? A 4-0 thrashing, Ings scoring twice and West Ham looking utterly devastating in the final third. Arguably for the first time this season. It was a must-win game and that's exactly what we got. But is it a sign of what we should

214. It's not the system, it's the execution

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2023/02/22

There have been intense calls for David Moyes to be sacked after Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Spurs, despite going into it unbeaten in four matches. Many are unhappy with the system Moyes is sticking with, his approach against the so-called 'big six' and the poor results that have inevitably followed. But is all of that the real problem? Defensively we're no worse off in terms of stats, but up front we're really struggling to make a real impact. That's where it appears to be all going wrong. This week,

NOTE: Sorry it's a bit late this week, life (and gout) got in the way a bit! Back to normal next week, we promise! Things are looking and feeling a little more enjoyable at the moment, aren't they? We're unbeaten in four, have just one defeat in our last seven in all competitions and have conceded just three goals in our last five. Moyes' semi-permanent switch to a back five appears to have worked a treat as the likes of Tomas Soucek, Vladimir Coufal, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio all show

2023/02/07

The 1-1 draw at Newcastle last weekend gave us plenty of hope that West Ham are beginning to turn a corner. Despite the mini-meltdown at the beginning, conceding twice in the opening three minutes (thankfully only one counted!), Moyes' men recovered well and put in a solid display at one of the hardest places to visit this season. The performance suggested things are beginning to return to something like normal after a woeful first-half of the campaign, but can they keep it up and push on? This

It was a relatively quiet transfer window for West Ham, with just two players through the door and a handful of exits, but there does seem to be a more positive at the club at the moment. The 2-0 FA Cup victory over Derby County on Monday night made it three wins and as many clean sheets from our last four games - which is the kind of form we just couldn't see coming only a few weeks a go. But, we've drawn Man United away in the FA Cup 5th Round - the fifth time in the last seven seasons we'll make

West Ham won a Premier League football match, but all is not what it seems. While the three points were desperately needed, it doesn't change much where David Moyes' future is concerned. A run of fixtures that include Newcastle, Chelsea and Tottenham in February means we're not entirely out of the woods just yet and it's likely we'll be back in the thick of before too long. Meanwhile, Craig Dawson - the wonderful, beautiful, amazing Craig Dawson - has left the club and everyone's really upset about

2023/01/17

We agreed last week that David Moyes simply had to get at least four points from West Ham's next two games in order to keep his job. But after losing 1-0 at Wolves, that's now mathematically impossible and leaves us in the bottom three of the Premier League and facing a monumental relegation clash against Everton at home on Saturday. There has been lots of talk since the Wolves defeat that Moyes is on his way out, but the shortlist of potential replacements is worryingly underwhelming. Why wasn't

Last week West Ham announced the sad passing of co-owner and co-chairman David Gold. Regardless of fans' feelings towards Gold and other members of the board over the years, we must always remember that Gold is a human being who has lost his life. A father. A grandfather. A brother. He was also one of us. A West Ham fan. He famously grew up opposite the Boleyn Ground and played for the club at schoolboy level. So regardless of his role to play in all the issues at the club over the years, you simply
