It’s not a hidden secret amongst Hammers fans that our striker curse has yet to be solved. Many strikers have come through that have either been simply shocking or injury-prone.

Unfortunately, it appears Sully wants to add to that list. With the latest report being that West Ham United are ‘seriously interested’ in RB Leipzig striker Andre Silva.

The twenty-nine-year-old Portuguese international has currently struggled to find form in recent years. This season Silva has 1 goal and 3 assists in 15 appearances and currently is struggling to find game time for Leipzig.

It has just been announced by the FA that Lucas Paqueta's 'Bet hearing' has been postponed until the summer, which, to the delight of Potter and Paqueta himself, allows him to play for the club freely until the remainder of this season.

The hearing with the FA was expected to happen late this January, yet it was delayed until March due to unknown reasons and has now been rescheduled to the end of the season! It seems all a bit too convenient!

Last night's result showed the fans what we are all in for: playing against Fulham, who have been an excellent side this season and had only lost one in their last thirteen before playing us!

Five major players were out for the Irons, and when looking at the lineup, everyone was confused, questioning the formation and selection of players.

The first 20 minutes saw us being dominated, Fulham having the majority of the ball, leading them to have many chances, but the closest they came was the crossbar.

From Southampton to Villa, all we have come across are injuries.

From what has already been a dismal season, it only ends up getting worse for the Hammers. The news was broke yesterday that Fullkrug had sustained an injury that would keep him out for three months, being one of now many people added to the long-term injury list.

A defeat on the pitch but a visual win is what we saw on Friday night against Aston Villa.

I've never seen such a dramatic change in playstyle in such a short period of time; it is utterly staggering to me that within two hours and one training session, Potter has managed to transform the team from what looked like headless chickens running around, to a controlled tempo and the players have an actual idea of where to pass the ball.

We were very unlucky to come away with being out of the cup, for the first half, we had total control, and the game was in free flow.

The 'Strange Days' are over and have finally found Lopetegui, It appears that after all the drama, articles and many rumours, Lopetegui's lives have finally run out.

After weeks of complaints and consistent batterings, the Manchester City game looks like it was the final straw for the Spaniard.

These past two days have been hectic when it comes to the media, about every five minutes you're seeing something new, and as someone who currently has little to no access to WiFi, it is incredibly comical.

Not only did we have to endure the fact that we lost 4-1 and have now conceded nine goals within our last two match-weeks, but we also had to deal with the broadcaster's insinuation of managers that could take over if Lopetegui was to be sacked.
