West Ham 2-1 Wigan
 
Well perhaps that should read Dean Ashton 2-1 Wigan but I’m not picky as to how we win, barring major breaches of international law, of course. As I predicted, Deano scored a brace to net the match’s goals. I never would have predicted the goals to be at minutes 3 and 10 but again, can’t be picky about the goals. Ashton did pick up a knock but surely that was easily ...

Ready Steady Go
 
A huge apology first for my wankerdom in being absent, I’ve recently relocated countries and am just now starting to settle in. (read, stolen wifi) In any case Hammers fans haven’t missed too much recently, Bellamy is injured, Ljungberg left in a big money blunder and we signed some kids who are so insignificant that Wikipedia has frozen their articles stating that they ...

Kicked to the Curb-ishley?
 
Some talking points as you wait for the eclipse… -We’ve signed Czech Jan Lastuvka as Bobbie Green’s understudy on a season-long loan/ I’m of the opinion that if Fulham didn’t want him we shouldn’t either, though he is just an understudy, and if last season is anything to go by we’ll rarely see the guy anyways. I’d rather see Marek Stech play ...

West Ham, Argentinians, and Americans
 
Well we lost, 3-2. The game was well fought and we were able to start an Academy graduate. Deano scored a brace and we really did look in fairly decent form. And as the MLS All-Stars are now 5-0 in All-Star Matches, it’s hard to complain about the final result. The team seemed to gel a bit better than previously, specifically between Deano and Cole though it’s hard to tell as ...

West Ham in Canada/West Ham au Canada
 
The last of our glorified preseason friendlies, this match will be a good test, mostly in the field of fitness. While this game seems of little relevance to us, the MLS All-Stars are in mid-season form and will be looking for a victory against us, and I would like to see the Hammers defend and spread our club’s name. Whether victorious or not, I wouldn’t read too much into the ...

Bienvenue M. Behrami! Et Merci M. Nani!
 
Former Lazio champ Valon Behrami has signed for the Hammers for £5million from Lazio. I guess Di Canio told him how great the Hammers are? In any case, Behrami was a bargain if you ask me, and a great addition to the squad.

A Continental Transfer Window?
 
As you, the presumably Hammer faithful will already know, we as a club haven’t really done anything in terms of acquiring new players this offseason. Sure we’ve gotten a couple of youngsters but nothing else. I’m tempted to trust new transfer guru Gianluca Nani as he’s the guy who has spotted and developed legends such as Andrea Pirlo, Luca Toni and, to a lesser ...

West Ham 08/09 Kits
 
The new home kit was released yesterday, perhaps slightly overshadowed by the release of A.C. Milan’s line of kits. Nothing too drastic has happened to the kit but it looks a slight bit sharper than its predecessor. For those who like the kit, you can go ahead and safely purchase that Ashton #9 jersey as he looks to be with the club for a while. For those who don’t, well, ...
