For those who don’t know, I’m currently in England attending to some family business. I was in contact with a colleague from my work and he shared with me that his normal companion would not be able to attend last night’s West Ham-Wolves match, and if I wanted the ticket, I could join up with [...]

Playing the early relegation odds

Last season you might remember that I took a look at the odds the bookmakers were putting on teams getting relegated from the Premier League, and while we’re still far from being able to really tell who’s going down to the Colaship, I thought it’d be interesting to check the odds out. When I wrote [...]
Does it Have Moisture Wicking?

Let’s pretend for a minute that you’re a West Ham fan. It’s been a rough year for you; you’re like three days away from administration, everyone and their brother is coming after you for money, and you’re only three points away from being in last place. What could make that better? Club themed lingerie, that’s [...]
Fantasy Preview: Double action for Villa and West Ham this week.

The most important thing to note this week as the title says, Villa and West Ham play each other on Wednesday and it counts for this week. While I wouldn’t reccomend transfering half your squad away for players from either team, it’s not a bad idea to look at 1-2 players from those teams, especially [...]
Ranking the Premier League Shirts: 20-11

Since we’ve seen all of the shirts this season, I figured I’d take the time to see who has the best and worst shirts, in my own personal opinion of course. Initially I thought it’d be easy, but it was actually harder that I had expected. A lot of the shirts have their own personal [...]
Season preview – West Ham United
Posted in EPL Season Previews, tagged Season Previews, West Ham United on August 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last Year’s Record: 14 wins, 9 draws, 15 losses for 51 points, but in 9th place due to a -3 goal differential. Much like the rest of the middle of the league, they were better at home than away, gaining 29 points at Upton Park as opposed to 22 away from home. Transfers (In): Peter [...]
Friday Shirt Report: Enough with the dark away shirts!!

So another two weeks have passed and we’ve actually had quite a few shirts released in that time. Rather strange considering how few shirts had been coming out prior to that. We’ve seen a couple of new EPL home shirts come out, a couple of big European clubs kits released, a few other things as [...]
Big Trouble in Little Iceland

While a lot of the buying and selling talk with English clubs this summer has revolved around Mike Ashley’s desire to sell Newcastle and the pending sale of Portsmouth but little has been said about the great financial woes surrounding West Ham United. Yesterday, West Ham was taken over from former chairman Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson by [...]

One of the most talked about parts of the summer besides the transfer market is the release of new shirts. Everyone loves seeing the new designs and hating/praising them. So I figured I’d go ahead and give you a little bit of an early preview of what’s been released for this season so far.

West Ham versus Millwall. The stuff that movies are made about. A clash of two old London rivals in the League Cup, the kind of draw that sets tongues wagging and thoughts creeping back to the horrible days of hooliganism at virtually every English football pitch. Sadly, the violence and terror associated with the hooligan [...]
