There is no love lost between West Ham and rivals Spurs but there may well be a truce called in north London this evening. Both West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur have bigger rivals in London. But the dislike between the Hammers and Spurs has grown ever stronger down the years. West Ham don’t like Tottenham and vice versa. And that rivalry only intensifies with every meeting of the two. West Ham have had Tottenham’s number in recent years with the 2-1 win in north London this season the latest case in point. For one night only, though, there could be…
Son Heung-min continues to pave the way for Tottenham and remind all that class is permanent – and Darren Bent reckons that even now he is in his thirties, clubs would have to pay £80m for him. Son will turn 32 in July but despite that, he has still managed to have a hand in 22 goals in his 25 games for Tottenham. That is despite missing a month of football due to his participation in the Asian Cup. Now the club’s captain, Son is just three games away from clocking up a huge 400 for the North London outfit.…
New Premier League rules are a problem for all but the elite West Ham could find themselves in danger of violating proposed new Premier League spending regulations following the decision to scrap the current rules. Recent reports indicate that the Premier League intends to abandon its profit and sustainability regulations in the summer, replacing them with the UEFA system. Under the new system, which ties a spending cap to a percentage of club revenue and evaluates each Premier League club’s financial situation, Kieran Maguire’s analysis suggests that West Ham could be nearly £15 million over their limit. Maguire elaborated on…
Danny Murphy shares what he’s now heard about West Ham United man Kalvin Phillips Kalvin Phillips has endured a difficult start to life at West Ham United after joining the Hammers on loan from Manchester City – but Danny Murphy thinks he will still make England’s Euro 2024 squad. After just 31 outings for Pep Guardiola‘s Premier League champions in 18 months after leaving Leeds United in the summer of 2022, Phillips went on loan to David Moyes‘ side in January. But he’s struggling. Far from his best and looking rather rusty, Chris Sutton says he has joined the wrong…
Premier League club eye blow to Manchester City transfer hopes through £85 million release clause removal Manchester City could suffer an early blow to their summer transfer hopes through West Ham’s reported desire to discuss new terms with midfield star Lucas Paqueta. Officials from the Premier League champions targeted the Brazilian international towards the end of the last summer market, largely as the club looked to brace themselves for life without Kevin De Bruyne – who had just been sidelined for up to eight months through injury. With issues surrounding a transfer fee agreement, and ultimately the FA investigation into…
Three Crystal Palace youngsters Oliver Glasner could use this week Oliver Glasner’s team will be playing a friendly while in Marbella, here’s three Crystal Palace youngsters that could start vs Bodo/Glimt.

Coming in during a game week, he likely has been focused on preparing for the upcoming games. But now with a slight break, he…
West Ham’s dear friends at UEFA are reportedly putting a contingency plan together for the Europa League final. It’s fair to say UEFA bigwigs won’t be on the Christmas card list of West Ham’s owners or fans. Hammers supporters have loved following their team playing in Europe over the last three years. Culminating in of course winning the Europa Conference League last summer. But UEFA have dished out fines to West Ham, fan bans and – in their infinite wisdom – selected a 19,000 capacity stadium for a major European final which meant only 6,000 Hammers could watch the team…
One West Ham United linked manager has just lost his job, and the rumours will undoubtedly begin to fly about now. West Ham manager David Moyes is currently feeling the heat in his role at the London Stadium, with the likes of Thomas Tuchel apparently being linked with replacing the 60-year-old Scot.

However, since the turn of the year, things have seriously gone downhill for West Ham. Sure, Moyes has…
