No London Pride until CMF saves the day
Jan. 1 | It’s been awhile since I last saw the Hammers play – three months to be precise. Since the Upton Park wobbles in the early part of the season they have proved to be more resilient than most other teams in a poor division and came into the...
Tonka Toy
Dec. 16 | In 1979 West Ham United shocked the footballing world by signing Scottish teenager Ray Stewart from Dundee United. At the time there was no Sky Sports, no Internet and fortunately no TalkSport. There wasn’t even Radio 5 to carry this breaking...
West Ham are the best team in England….for 85 minutes
Sep. 28 | Do you know what happened at 3.15pm on Sunday 7th August 2011? Last time anyone on X-Factor was any good? Good shout but no. It was actually the last time West Ham lost in the nPower Championship. I can see you are more impressed with the X-Factor trivia...

Not a NIMBY tonight
Jul. 21 | Few of us live on the doorstep of our favourite team. We all have to get in the car, jump on the train or hop on a bus to get to a game these days. When I travel abroad to watch football these days I will always try to find a hotel close to the ground,...
Pure genuis
Jul. 12 | I consider myself quite clever and switched on when it comes to financial reporting. A few years ago I went through a very painful experience of watching my global employer literally meltdown in a multi-million dollar collapse. I felt that if I had...
Don’t believe the hype
May. 7 | Every Monday I look at my email account with trepidation. Since the first week of the season around 3pm I get that “ping” sound signifying the arrival of the latest excuse from the pen of Avram Grant. Although it is obviously not from Avram,...
