Irons Hold Their Own - West Ham 3-1 Sunderland

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

Nuno’s side certainly don’t like making it easy for themselves, a dominant first half performance and the best one Hammers have seen in a while, Nuno’s side were nothing short of excellent, hard to pick out a negative!

Nuno’s attacking play since QPR has improved dramatically. We’ve gone all guns blazing, in which Taty and Pablo have added a significant amount of energy to this side, the Hammers have gone from having three shots per game to getting three goals, a significant improvement.

The Torrid Truth Of Hammers’ January Spending

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

It was anticipated by most that the Hammers would need a hefty window given the league position and the state of the club come the opening of January, in which, with the swift introductions of both Taty and Pablo, most believed we were in for a good window.

However, as time passes, it’s all become a farce seeing as now the Hammers can’t afford to spend anymore without any sales, which is odd considering on paper it seems that the board is prepared to sell a ‘key asset’ in order to facilitate rather than out of pocket funds.

Army of Age - Hammers Head For Leaders

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

An eye for age? The Hammers certainly like the concept of signing a cheaper central defender this summer, and as time has passed, it has become blatantly obvious what the Hammers plan is for the remainder of the transfer window.

In search of a central defender to reinforce the backline, the Hammers have officially shortlisted Axel Disasi, Fabian Schar, Tyrone Mings and Victor Lindelof.

Sullivan’s South American Expedition

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

Stooges out? No! Sullivan has decided to get involved in the mix himself, and who could expect a Sully special throughout a transfer window?

The Hammers are set to sign Venezuelan winger Kieber Lamadrid, who’s a 22-year-old who recently achieved a call-up to the national team, however, it feels that perhaps diving into his previous stats isn’t exactly purposeful, given the true reason we’re set to sign the youngster.

“In Their Own Backyard” - Hammers Edge Victory Through Wilson’s Heroics

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

It took 70 days for West Ham to return back to winning ways in the Premier League, Wilson’s heroics at the end have seen the Hammers nick all three points against Spurs, a thrilling first half which in hindsight should’ve put the game to bed, but a second half which saw West Ham on the backfoot, let to Nuno subbing on Wilson which ultimately won us the game.

To Paco Or Punch Hammers

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

For those who have lived under a rock for the past 24 hours, you wouldn’t have seen that West Ham have made an addition towards Nuno’s back room staff and have hired Paco Jemez as a first-team coach. Despite this initially seeming like a manager announcement, I can confirm that Nuno remains in charge.
