The final club being examined in this series is the struggling West Ham United. This surely is
not one of the finest years in Avram Grant's managerial career. He experienced hard times at
Portsmouth last season and just when he thought he had a fresh start at Upton Park, he finds
himself dead last in the table with the guillotine dangling perilously above his head, ready to
drop at any given time.
The ineffable presence of English cup football reigned supreme at Upton Park as Avram Grant, the
Hebrew Hammer himself, received four of his eight gifts for Hanukkah early. The Hammers
somehow smashed four goals into the Manchester United net and ended Sir Alex Ferguson's side's
29-match unbeaten run.
Unsurprisingly, Ghana lead the list of nominees for the African Footballer of the
Year
The short list of nominees up for the African Footballer of the Year have been making their way
into the press this morning.  Not surprising that Ghana lead the list along with some other
predictable nominations .
West Ham had the best preparation ahead of their Saturday clash with Tottenham Hotspur winning
their 3rd round Carling Cup match. The fact that it was against Premiership opponents (Sunderland)
and that the Hammers finally registered their first away win of the year will give Scott Parker and
his team mates a massive boost in confidence.
West Ham got up and running in the Barclays Premier League today with a well earned point at
Stoke City. After going 1-0 up, everyone associated with West Ham will be a little disappointed but
this point says a lot for West Ham's future in the league this season.
Any team in the EPL would settle for a point at the Britannia Staidum.
Avram Grant has announced that he won't take charge of West ham against Stoke this weekend to
celebrate a holy festival. This is of course entirely understandable, but it couldn't have come at
a worse time for Grant and West Ham. The Hammers have the worst starting record to a season in the
clubs recent history and could lose their fifth game in succession if defeated by Tony Pulis'
side this weekend.
The what: Premier League, Round 4 – West Ham v. Chelsea The where: Upton Park (35,303) The when: September 11, 3pm local time (10am EST) The how: ESPN2 (DirecTV 209, Dish Network 144) The why: Because Super Frank is unable to play, and, well, a win against West Ham
is always always satisfying.
Most ties this week look fairly underwhelming on paper next to the classic Manchester United
v. Liverpool match. But don't let that fool you into thinking that the Stoke City v. West Ham
United match is going to be a massive sleeper. Other matches could very well end in tear-jerking
boredom, while sum could very well experience an unforeseen upset presented to the football
world.
Prandelli led Fiorentina to a very important point, but this season there will be no Champions
League, and no Europa League for the Viola. While Mihajlovic has taken over, things don't look very
different with Fiorentina for this upcoming season, only two players were bought and only two
players were sold/released.
Inter Milan have begun to turn in different directions this transfer market, while at first the
nerazzurri were bargaining with Real Madrid about Maicon, now it seems like Balotelli could leave
for Manchester City. The European champions would have to sell either the Brazilian or the Italian
in order to begin to balance the books for the impending financial fair-play rule which will be
introduced by UEFA.

And so the Decade in Review has arrived at the final chapter: 2008/2009. Which seems pretty
close but when you think about it is already far away into the archives. I've enjoyed reliving the
past 10 years each week and going back into calcio history. But we have reached the end. Here's to
another great 10 years of our beloved Italian calcio.
Botta e risposta tra corazzate nella 23° giornata della Liga.
Roboante il risultato del Real Madrid che con un Kakà (finalmente) spettacolare, ed autore di una
doppietta, sommerge per 6 a 2 il Villareal, al Santiago Bernabeu. Di Higuain (due), Ronaldo ed
Alonso per le merengues, Senna e Nilmar per i gialli di Valverde.

Despite its struggles in qualifying, Argentina enters Group B as the favorite, with a plethora
of attacking options, including Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain and FIFA Player of the Year Lionel
Messi. If any team is going to outdo Argentina in the group, however, it will likely be
Nigeria.
The deadly attack on the Togo national team prior to the start of the African Cup of Nations
left the soccer world stunned, and few disagreed when Togo decided to pull out of the
tournament.
The African Football Confederation (CAF) is among those few.

South Africa-based duo Greg Etafia and Idah Peterside narrowly escaped serious head injuries when
the Super Eagles bus was stoned by angry fans after what has been generally seen another
unconvincing performance.
The Super Eagles eked out a barely-deserved 1-0 win over Mozambique with a goal deep in stoppage
time by Obinna Nsofor.
La falta de minutos y la contratación de Rob Wielaert, procedente del Twente, podría
provocar que el Ajax cediera a Oleguer Presas en este mercado de invierno. El jugador catalán,
fichado por los 'judíos' el pasado verano por 5 millones de euros, ha ido perdiendo
protagonismo poco a poco en el equipo de Marco Van [.
