WORRIED ABOUT LOSING CARROLL IN JANUARY? I’M NOT SO SURE.

Posted on September 4, 2012 by

I was initially panic-stricken when I read Brendan Rodgers’ admission that he might look into recalling Andy Carroll in January. We had just demolished Fulham 3-0 and, while the whole team played well, a lot of our prowess was down … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →

CARDIFF CITY VS WEST HAM: PREDICTABLE UNPREDICTABILITY ACROSS THE BOARD

Posted on March 4, 2012 by

I’m back to feeling pretty damn nervous about each match now. Saints have remembered their great form and I’m even looking below us with trepidation, fearing dropping out of the top two. We’re entering the stage of the season when … Continue reading →

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

Posted on February 28, 2012 by

One of my favourite sights as a West Ham fan is when a player replicates the crossed irons of our crest in the form of a salute to the crowd. For some reason the Irons salute is rarer than a … Continue reading →

IS THIS PICTURE THE ONLY WAY TO WATCH FOOTBALL AT THE OLYMPIC STADIUM?

Posted on November 11, 2011 by

Posted on November 2, 2011 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 →

BLACKPOOL PICTURE SPECIAL FROM THE LEGENDS’ LOUNGE

Posted on October 18, 2011 by

Ignore the headline of this post as there isn’t really much special in here. My picture with Phil Parkes is special to me, but that’s about it. The Legends’ Lounge was a good experience, up there with similar levels of … Continue reading →
