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

2023/02/01

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

209. From massive to miserable as Moyes mopes on

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

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

2023/01/09

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

2023/01/03

All good things come to an end, don't they? After two wonderful years under David Moyes, we do appear to be nearing the end of his second spell following two poor performances and defeats directly after the World Cup break. The loss at Arsenal probably wasn't a surprise but the performance at home to Brentford simply wasn't good enough, despite Moyes finally deciding to drop Tomas Soucek and to play Lucas Paqueta in his favoured No.8 position. Now we face Leeds, Wolves and Everton in a trio of

2022/12/21

The World Cup came to a dramatic climax last week as Lionel Messi shut the door on the GOAT debate by finally getting his hands on football's biggest prize, although Will is still adamant he's not the greatest player to have walked the land. But now the World Cup is over, it means we're closer to welcoming West Ham back into our lives. We're all excited about that, of course, but that'll rub off pretty quickly by Boxing Day evening. Stock up on plenty of wine, mince pies and bubble & squeak, as

It's been nice having a break from the stresses of West Ham these past few weeks but the reality is where edging closer to welcoming the boys back to action - it's just a shame it's going to start the way it ended as we prepare to visit league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates on Boxing Day. But before that inevitable disappointment, James and Will get together for a quick catch-up and discuss their thoughts on the World Cup so far.

2022/11/16

Who knew we'd all be so pleased to be getting a six-week break from West Ham after the last two years. Defeats to Blackburn and Leicester over the last week have ensured we head into the World Cup break in terrible form and in serious danger of being sucked into to a relegation battle when we return to face Arsenal away on Boxing Day. The performance against Leicester wasn't atrocious by any means but we still failed to score any goals, which is the whole point of football isn't it? It's been our

NOTE: Apologies for the sound quality on this week's episode. Will had serious Monday morning tech issues! The defeat to Crystal Palace had the David Moyes boo-boys out in force on Sunday and it's easy to see why. Looking back, West Ham under his stewardship seemed to have peaked in Lyon back in April. Since then it's been all downhill and now we risk going into the World Cup break in the bottom three of the Premier League. We can avoid that by beating Leicester City this coming weekend, of

Another Premier League away game, another failure to put the ball in the onion bag. After having plenty of chances but failing to score at Anfield, the Hammers offered a repeat showing at Old Trafford on Sunday and failed to make Man United pay for their sub-standard showing. We huffed and we puffed in the final 20 minutes but just couldn't find the back of the net as David De Gea planned to dominate our nightmares over Halloween. In another repeat showing, Will continues to insist that if you

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2022/10/25

West Ham's performance in the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield was encouraging, or at least that's what James thinks. Will, on the other hand, disagrees and was "angry" with the fact we didn't capitalise on Liverpool's poor form by converting at least one of the eight shots on goal we had. And then there's the win over Bournemouth, which ended up being more straight forward than we were expecting, albeit via a very dubious VAR decision going our way (for once!). Will thought Said Benrahma was

200. VARy good defending from Southampton's Peter Bankes

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2022/10/17

Another game and another farcical VAR decision that has cost West Ham points. It wasn't the alleged foul throw that caused anger after the 1-1 draw against Southampton over the weekend, it was referee Peter Bankes clearly obstructing Jarrod Bowen's attempts to defend in the build-up to Southampton's first-half opener. It was clear obstruction, yet the goal stood. That said, should we be looking at the draw as a good point or two points dropped after having 25 attempts at goal, 14 corners and over

We Are West Ham Podcast ·

2022/10/11

Finally, the good karma gods were shining down on us as VAR ruled in our favour in the 3-1 victory over Fulham on Sunday. Gianluca Scamacca may or may not have handled the ball before deftly looping the ball over Bernd Leno to put us 2-1 ahead in the second-half, but VAR arguably made the right call by awarding the goal due to it not being a clear and obvious error. Finally, that rule has been used properly! The victory makes it three in three in all competitions and provided further evidence that

2022/10/03

It turns out losing to West Ham was just too embarrassing for the Wolves that they decided to sack Bruno Lage just 24 hours later. It was a big, confidence-boosting win on Saturday. Not just for the entire squad but for Guianluca Scamacca and Jarrod Bowen in particular as they both opened their Premier League accounts for the season. Now we embark on a busy October, starting with Anderlecht away in the Europa Conference League this Thursday before welcoming Fulham to London Stadium on

International breaks rarely fill fans with excitement and joy and this one was true to form as England were RELEGATED from their Nations League group after a 1-0 defeat in Italy. Flashbacks of relegations at the hands of Birmingham and Wigan were rife amongst the Hammers fanbase as the painful experience of relegation returned for many of us. But all is not lost. Mark Noble has returned to the club as Sporting Director, presumably to save the day. His first job will be to get back in that dressing

2022/09/19

Is this the beginning of the end for David Moyes at West Ham? We certainly hope not, but after two incredibly fun seasons since his return, we started this season with just one win from seven Premier League games and have only scored three goals. Yes, we're unbeaten in the Europa Conference League but that's not really the issue here. Moyes' stubborn team selections, strange substitutions and reluctance to give most of the summer signings more than 30 minutes a game in the league is beginning to

2022/09/13

It has been a terribly sad and emotional past few days, not just in the United Kingdom but across the world. The passing of Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday was tough to take for so many. To those who adored her the most, she was an incredible woman who represented a beacon of hope and happiness throughout her 70 years on the throne. Her passing was confirmed just a couple of hours before West Ham were due to host FCSB in the Europa Conference League, but it was decided the game would still be

We've all seen it. We all know it was a complete and utter disgrace. But where do we go from here? VAR's existence in the Premier League is becoming more and more laughable with each passing weekend, and the last few days have arguably been its most comical. It wasn't just us who were robbed though, as Newcastle, Everton and Arsenal can all feel cheated by the very thing that is supposed to prevent controversial and incorrect decisions being made by referees in the modern era.

Finally we're off the mark! Our first win and first goal of the Premier League season came at Villa Park on Sunday but, had Steven Gerrard's team been a bit better than they are, it could've been a completely different story. David Moyes opted to start with five at the back but following a turgid opening 45 minutes, he decided to revert to the tried and tested 4-2-3-1 formation and suddenly things began to happen. Said Benrahma came on at half-time and instantly gave us some energy and intent
