Should Manuel Almunia play for England?

2008-10-31T12:45:08+00:00

I'm so sorry, he's from Pamplona... The devilish fiend of Farrier returns just in time for All Hallow's Eve and with another tantalising proposition, arguing both sides of the story just for the sake of stirring the cauldron. As there is no possible way of furthering the tedious Halloween link to a certain Arsenal goalkeeper, let's just get straight on with the big question:

Where have all the real football fans gone?

2008-10-08T07:00:19+00:00

Time for a rant!! Not had one for a while! I'm sure a few of you go through the same thing I do when you go and watch your beloved team each week. You buy a season ticket and you sit with your chums. Before the game you have a beer, maybe a cheeky pie and even a Bovril when times are cold. A pint after the game to toast a victory (occasionally) and you have a good day out.

Let's all have a go at the 'keeper...

2008-10-06T15:05:00+00:00

I realise I might be a lone voice in the wilderness here, but I'd just like to stick up for Robert Green if I may.

In the light of West Ham's 3-1 thumping at the hands of Bolton yesterday afternoon, I could easily jump on the bandwagon and take issue with the part he played in conceding all three goals.

Zola's new club's achilles heel: Its defence

2008-09-14T15:32:10+00:00

Kevin Keen took on the caretaker role today with Zola looking on at his new club. Their attack was pretty decent but their defending was pathetic with Chris Brunt making Upson look silly in his match winner 7 minutes from the end. The Baggies first strike came when an unmarked James Morrison with all the time and space in the world blasted home Valero's cross.

West Bromwich Albion 3 - 2 West Ham (And Other Ramblings)

2008-09-13T23:29:00+00:00

1. Be Thankful For Small Mercies

I've got to be honest. If it wasn't for the existence of Newcastle and tottenham, I really don't know who the rest of the country would laugh at but us.

2. Circus Stories

To be honest, we all probably should have realised something was up when both defences came out for this game riding unicycles and carrying custard pies.

1. Precocious Preview

2008-08-19T14:36:00+00:00

Dean Ashton....dint pass much

2007/8 Review

West Ham survived a slew of injuries to record a tenth place finish in the Premiership. After their escapology act of the previous season it was a decent achievement, although not so exciting. Star player Dean Ashton returned after missing the entire 06/07 campaign with a broken ankle and helped fill the gap left by the departure of Carlos Tevez to Manchester United.

Scott Carson’s Questionable Move to West Bromwich Albion

2008-07-18T20:08:00+00:00

After yesterday's posts, I'm sure you all know how much I hate the "silly season" and how I can't stand to hear the constant gossip and rumor mill concerning player transfers during the summer. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I don't hear or read any of it; it's everywhere and practically impossible to avoid.

A very interesting story about West Ham GK Robert Green

2008-07-15T14:38:20+00:00

The Independent has a great story written by West Ham's Robert Green about his recent trip to Africa for charity work. I encourage all of you to read it.

Tottenham and West Ham keepers on Aston Villa shortlist

2008-07-02T16:01:22+00:00

While Spurs might be more than happy to let Paul Robinson leave the club, perhaps the same can't be said for West Ham, who surely regard Robert Green as one of their key players in the squad.

While Walking On The Beach ...

2008-06-30T14:35:00+00:00

By JAMES CLARKSaturday afternoon, about 4:35 p.m. East Coast time, and it was time for a 50-minute stroll along the Atlantic Ocean in 90-degree sunshine on the North End beach in our beloved Ocean City, New Jersey -- heading south down the island, starting from the Seaspray beach. My good English friend Jim Sturman always says how southern New Jersey should market itself in Europe in order to become a must-visit summer destination.

The H List : End Of Season Player Ratings (Part 1)

2008-05-21T22:13:00+00:00

So I guess this is it folks. It's been another long season, remarkable for it's unremarkability and tedious when viewed in it's entirety. Truthfully, our interest in the campaign finished in January when Man City ended another FA Cup run, quite possibly because Jesus Christ himself couldn't believe that we had allowed Elano to score with a header.

Should Portsmouth’s keeper be England number one or four?

2008-01-07T12:31:32+00:00
