Is Dyer now crucial to West Ham?
Avram Grant believes Keiron Dyer is a key West Ham player and his absence is a blow to their ambitions to climb out of the Premier League bottom three. The Hammers are rooted to the bottom of the table, behind Wolves on goal difference. Unfortunately, it looks like any resurgence will have to wait as [...]
Upson insists ‘no panic’
West Ham fans do not need to start worrying about the dreaded Premier League relegation quite yet, according to Mathew Upson. The England defender played for 53 minutes as the Hammers blew their chance to climb out of the Premier League bottom three by going down 2-1 to Newcastle at Upton Park. Carlton Cole opened [...]
Not manager of the month, but any positives?
After the Wolves game, I still felt that there was a slim chance of Avram winning manager of the month – all it took was a win against Newcastle and a win against Stoke. And why not? We were 5 unbeaten after all…. However after a capitulation in performance worse than we saw against Bolton [...]
Grant backs Parker for England
West Ham manager Avram Grant has expressed his surprise at Scott Parker’s continued absence from the England national side.

James Tomkins has spoken out about the positive spirit surrounding Upton Park at the moment, despite West Ham’s poor start to the new Premier League season which has seen promising new boss Avram Grant placed under an unfair amount of pressure already. Tomkins revealed that the players believe the club is in a “false position” [...]
West Ham out for cup joy
This has been a trying start to the season for West Ham United: a new manager; a poor run of results leaving them rooted to the bottom of the Premiership; as well as an injury list which their already stretched squad can seemingly not cope with. However, their season seems to be finally picking up [...]
Avram Grant: October Manager of the Month?
Trying to find a bookies that will take me up on this – but I genuinely believe that we could see Avram Grant take the manager of the month award for October, and find ourselves sitting fairly pretty in the league. Not to mention in the quarter-final of the Carling Cup. Stoke at home is [...]
