READING INTO IT

Posted on March 30, 2012 by

It seems a little dramatic to say that our match against Reading could decide who achieves automatic promotion, but it’s hard not to see it that way. A win for Reading would see them go four points clear of us … Continue reading →

SIX FROM SIX IS THE TALK OF DESPERATE AVRAM, SAM: POSH VS IRONS PREVIEW

Posted on March 27, 2012 by

My lack of posts over the last couple of weeks is directly related to the sense of frustration at our last few performances. I wrote my last blog after the draws against Watford and Doncaster, hoping those two results would … Continue reading →

WEST HAM vs WATFORD: TIME TO LOOK EXCLUSIVELY BELOW

Posted on March 7, 2012 by

Last night I was so caught up in watching the Chelsea and Arsenal matches on TV that I completely forgot to keep my eye on the Saints vs Ipswich score. I’d already made up my mind to hate Ipswich this … Continue reading →

I LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN THE CROSSED-ARM IRONS SALUTE, BUT SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT

Posted on February 28, 2012 by

Well, I knew this match wouldn’t go as smoothly as we all hoped. I’m not too annoyed about the result but I am really disappointed about the manner in which we failed to win this one. The starting 11 looked … Continue reading →

WEST HAM 3 – 2 LEICESTER: BOOM, BOOM, BALDOCK!

Posted on October 29, 2011 by

I’m glad that match wasn’t ten minutes longer. It was a classic Boleyn Ground performance, cruising ahead but letting the opposition back in. The match was a fairly weird one. Although I think we deserved our three points, neither team … Continue reading →

BE BOLD AGAINST BLACKPOOL, BUT I’M SCARED OF SAINTS

Posted on October 14, 2011 by

It feels like ages since I saw a full West Ham game. After being on holiday, working like a dog and the international break, I feel I’ve been starved of seeing how Big Sam’s team is performing. That’s part of … Continue reading →

FOOTBALL’S STREETS SHOULD BE PAVED BY GOLD

Posted on October 4, 2011 by

The Independent ran quite an interesting story this week featuring an interview with David Gold. While I’ve been fairly open about my reluctance to trust our board 100%, it has always been David Gold that I find the more endearing … Continue reading →

HOW TAYLOR’S TRANSFER STRENGTHENS THE IRONS

Posted on July 25, 2011 by

On Saturday, the club announced what we expected – and in my case, hoped – as Matt Taylor’s arrival from Bolton was made official. In my eyes this is a great signing, and another signal that the Bongo Brothers are … Continue reading →
