Talking Chelsea and two-gamers with my friend, and fantasy football newbie, Tundra United. After the jump. [14:49] Tundra United: Wait. [14:49] Tundra United: Looking at your lists again...

West Ham finally got their second win of the season with a last minute Zavon Hines' equaliser. It was a match that Villa lost rather than West Ham winning it. Nevertheless, the spirit and determination of Zola's men cannot be faulted and definitely this must spur the Hammers to climb up the Premiership table. Click to continue reading...

Good week for me -- great Saturday then gave most of it back on Sunday. 107 points with five 2-gamers. Not that I'm expecting much from them. More on that after the jump. Cue the Ennio Morricone... The Good RvP (32) I especially love the assist for Cesc's goal where Palacios just passes it against him in the center circle. Click to continue reading...

As we edge closer and closer to decision day, I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my line-up and frantic in my trade ideas. I think you'll see from the roundtable - after the jump - that I've come to a conclusion, but that Neal is sensibly (and probably in my best interests) trying to talk me back from it.

All through this week I have been trying to find reasons (and excuses) for West Ham's lack of form in the Barclays Premier League. But today I believed that I may have found the reason as to why the Hammers have failed to receive rewards for their slick one-touch football.
Filtering through the English Premiership news and results, two missing players stood out and Zola have not been able to compensate for their absence. Click to continue reading...

Arsene interested in Hammers pair.

Arsenal have been linked with a stunning double swoop on cash strapped West Ham United.
Highly rated youngster Jack Collison has caught the eye of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

The 20-year-old midfielder has already turned out for Wales and has caught the eye with a number of impressive performances.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Well, that was a stroll in the sunshine at the Emirates yesterday if ever I saw one. And one player strolling with great purpose was Emmanuel Eboue, who had plenty to be pleased with after nudging a goal in the Gunners' comfortable 4-0 triumph over Wigan.

For it was against Wigan last season that Eboue, on as a sub, was himself subbed, and the decision by Arsene Wenger was applauded and he left the field to boos.

West Ham travel to Ewood Park this Saturday to face Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn are pointless after the first three matches and will be tough to play against at home. The Hammers received a boost this morning when Zola managed to capture the signing of talented Alessandro Diamanti.
Hopefully, Diamanti will have a part to play in the match tomorrow afternoon. Click to continue reading...

The only surprising thing about the violence at Upton Park in the Carling Cup tie between West Ham and Millwall was that anybody was surprised by it.

From the moment the draw was made, all the signs of trouble were there. Two clubs with supporters from the lower-end who genuinely hate each other.

[Dirty Tackle] It began a couple days ago with the stabbing of Calum Davenport in his home; it was exacerbated by the death of Jack Collison's father, who was on his way to watch his son take on Tottenham; and all was seen toppling over during the Carling Cup match against Millwall last night in a [.

As I had said, I wanted to provide the blow-by-blow account of the Hammers' first Premiership match of the season. It took me a while to locate the right post for this but here it is.

Wolverhampton: Hennessey, Foley (Vokes 75), Mancienne (Stearman 66), Craddock, Stephen Ward, Halford, Henry, Milijas (Edwards 80), Jarvis, Keogh, Ebanks-Blake.

These ten were named by Jamie Redknapp as those who would make a big impression in the coming season. We therefore have no choice but to place a picture of Jamie's missus on the site!

JACK WILSHERE (Arsenal) A 5ft 5in player might have struggled in the Premier League land of the giants until Xavi and Iniesta, that devilishly talented Spanish midfield duo, made it fashionable to be small — and a midfield match-winner.

Valon Behrami : Appearances - 27, Goals - 2, Bookings - 5

When I heard that we had signed Valon Behrami I just shrugged in that uber cool, but still quite attractive, way that I do. "So what?" I wondered. And for the first few games my insouciance seemed reasonable as Behrami ran around a lot but failed to have any tangible impression on anything. Click to continue reading...

English Premier League club West Ham United has unveiled its brand new Umbro away kit for the 2009/10 season.

Super Carr Drives The Hammers
By Charlie Wyett
West Ham fans are never slow to remind everyone that their club helped England win the World Cup in 1966.
But Hammers heroes Geoff Hurst, Bobby Moore and Martin Peters not only brought glory to club and country, they left the East Enders with a legacy for generations to come. Click to continue reading...
