However, they battled back during the second half, with goals from Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son, to make the scoreline look somewhat respectable, albeit they failed…

Hammers manager search dealt huge blow The chances of Paulo Fonseca moving to West Ham took a blow today as his team, LOSC Lille FC, moved into the Champions League positions in Ligue 1.

The sideline clash culminated with Klopp reportedly rebuking Salah, to…

David Moyes must reinstate James Ward-Prowse for West Ham United v Chelsea, haunted them before. West Ham will be hoping to complete the league double over Chelsea this season, and David Moyes must reinstate James Ward-Prowse to the starting XI in order to do so. The Hammers claimed a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture in August, with Nayef Aguerd, Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta on target, while Carney Chukwuemeka registered for the Blues at the London Stadium. While Emerson Palmieri won the spot-kick for the latter’s last-minute penalty, Ward-Prowse provided assists for the first two goals, tormenting the Blues…

“Leading the race” | West Ham to lose top talent to hated rivals Highly rated West Ham youth prospect could do the unthinkable and move to the club’s rivals this Summer. The lack of opportunities for youth players is becoming extremely frustrating for both supporters and players. This current group of youngsters is one of the most highly rated in the clubs history, and there are so many of them who should be getting chances to prove themselves. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, David Moyes has refused to use them, only giving a few of them any sort of minutes. Understandably,…

Ange Postecoglou could regret his decision to start Rodrigo Bentancur for Tottenham v Arsenal. Ange Postecoglou could regret starting Rodrigo Bentancur against Arsenal after the midfielder’s performance against Newcastle United. A little over two weeks have passed since Tottenham were thrashed 4-0 by Newcastle at St James’ Park (14 April). Postecoglou has therefore had plenty of time to ponder over what was Spurs’ heaviest defeat of the season ahead of the North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (28 April). In that time, Arsenal have been in action three times, and have put themselves in a convincing…
