Claret and Hugh reporting that TS has been banned from Rush Green and the London Stadium dressing room it's all getting a bit handbags ain't it. Luv to see Will Still take over he's just left Rheims
1.) 03 May 2024 12:58:50
Some are saying that it's Steidten's own choice to stay away, not that he's been banned. Whatever the truth, it now looks impossible for both Steidten and Moyes to stay at the same club. More evidence that Moyes is on his bike.

Philips done deal loan till June option to buy
1.) 23 Jan 2024 17:49:51
So who does he replace? Soucek? That would give us midfield 3 of alvarez, ward prowse and Phillips.not bad but, we need full backs, a left winger cause benrahma is leaving and a striker!
2.) 23 Jan 2024 20:55:36
Moyes won't drop Soucek. It'll be the Steiden choice Alvarez who's for the chop.
3.) 23 Jan 2024 21:06:48
We don't really need a left winger, just play Cornet in his actual position. For all the pelters he gets from the fans, myself included the poor bloke's only ever been played once in his proper LW position in the PL.
4.) 25 Jan 2024 15:40:36
If we drop ALVAREZ then it's crazy as if your telling me he ain't better than SOUCEK then DD is totally lost the plot.⚒⚒⚒
5.) 26 Jan 2024 17:36:03
Personally i am very pleased with the Phillips loan deal. He is exactly the player we need alongside Alvarez AND he can fill in for Alvarez when missing. Currently we have nobody to replace Alvarez when he is missing (and it shows when he is gone), we all see Soucek and Prowse cannot do it, and this guy can do it as well as being Alvarez partner in CM. Can pick a great ball for counter attacks as well, which Souceck is not so great at. All round a VERY good bit of business, and the guys is such a nice character, a player we can really get behind and personally i hope he signs permanently, although £40m for a soon to be 29 year old is a lot!
Yes we still need a LM, ST and a backup LB. I like the look of this Osimen that we are linked with. let's be honest he will not start as Paqueta will be our LM for the forseable, but it gives Moyes options, which is why i actually think a LM is more important than a ST at the moment IMO
23 Jan 2024 13:35:07
Talksport evidently reporting Trevor Chalobah from Chelsea for £25m
1.) 24 Jan 2024 20:54:55
Would be a fantastic signing for us. Been a bit unlucky at Chelsea I reckon and he does have his fair share of admirers within the Chelsea fans ranks.
£25M is a very fair price and we should be all over it. We won't but we should be.

West Ham interested, supposing LY, in Plymouth attacking midfielder Morgan Whittaker 14 goals on 27 games isn't bad for championship
1.) 19 Jan 2024 23:06:35
Well I hope he’s more Bowen than Hugill, but what do I know?
2.) 20 Jan 2024 15:53:32
West ham in every window are always interested in everybody. It's comical
3.) 26 Jan 2024 06:46:59
Then we actually get one dM who hasn't been playing regularly for a couple of years, and is now getting on a bit.
4.) 26 Feb 2024 11:28:59
A fouler whom ships goals, to boot.
29 Dec 2023 13:57:47
West Ham have offered David Moyes a 2 year extension to his contract that's going to be interesting
1.) 30 Dec 2023 23:03:53
Not quite true. Negotiations over a new contract have not yet taken place. They are due to take place early in January. Rumour has it that the new contract will be unlike his current agreement in that it will contain performance clauses which will enable the club to fire him without financial loss if results drop off. Performance indicators are common in German contracts. Also, Moyes will have to agree to having no say in transfers. If he wants to stay at WHU, he’ll have to agree to these terms.
2.) 31 Dec 2023 22:57:33
While I was furious with the lineup for the Carabao Cup and I hate it when we are camped in our own box. The games against Man Utd and Arsenal were good team efforts and felt a bit more positive. Beat Brighton on Tuesday and perhaps were the real deal.
Have been on the fence for a while about Moyes but 2023 has been a successful year for WHUFC so I think Moyes can stay. 6/7 years ago we had maybe 8/11 of a team (remember Roberto) . Now we have about 14/11. The change started with Zouma. Clear some journeymen by summer.
Buy 2 or 3 more class players and play the kids a bit more from the bench (hard for Moyes) but the team are united and with a couple more Tim purchase we build good depth. We need this now as Europe should happen more often.
Saudi money for Aguerd would be good and we need Ings’s wages off the books. I’d keep Benrahma for now but put JWP on pens. Cresswell, Fornals, Ings, Johnson and Aguerd in January and perhaps Antonio /Kehrer in the Summer.
Happy new year to you and yours ??⚒️
3.) 01 Jan 2024 22:56:16
Kib with what u write is ok but i still don't think Moyes is who we need yes on paper he looks the real deal but if u watch WH our brand
of football has been terrible, we got results but WH are in the entertanment business and let's be frank some of our victories have been rubbish and very lucky. i'm glad to see if he gets a new contract he has no say on who is purchased yes he can recommend and perhaps this is the way to go
4.) 02 Jan 2024 22:47:11
Before all the blinkered “Moyes fans” start towelling Desperate Dave’s feet after his walk on water, I still think we’ll have a different decent manager next season. No way is DD going to agree to the terms the poison dwarf will offer him. I think Steidten has already identified his replacement and he will be in the chair next season. We’ll see.
5.) 05 Jan 2024 16:07:16
If those contract talks regarding performance related results and no dealings in transfers then I cannot see DD accepting those terms as he's a control freak just like SULLY so imo this is a polite way of saying thanks for your services well I hope and pray it is.⚒⚒⚒

Commisserations to the u21s who bowed out of the playoffs last night on pens. The game ended up 3-3 after 120 minutes.lets hope some of these guys can get some good first team time under the new managers
28 Apr 2024 17:49:25
OK to my personal beef with MSM in particular MOTD first game last night was our early January CK off all they could talk about was the Klop/Salah row and the weird refereeing decision around Areolas collision with the post injury. Not a mention of the two goals and in particular how well Bowen played and his 16 PL goals and 6 Assists.
Sky were just as bad this morning on Sunday Match Day according to them you'd think Liverpool were the only team on the pitch - pathetic both of them
1.) 28 Apr 2024 18:20:45
Sorry should have said early Saturday kick off Predictive text doh!
2.) 28 Apr 2024 19:49:37
Unfortunately we are not one of the big clubs that they all love and therefore we, like the remainder of the Premier league are just an after thought.
19 Apr 2024 08:51:23
For my two penny worth thought first half we were brilliant last night and wonder if we played better as a team because Paquetta wasn't playing. Thought JWP stepped up last night and Bowen being back also helped but you could see he wasn't fully fit. Definitely dodgy officiating last night and Leverkusen managed to play on that. Mind you Micky doesn't help himself does he. I guess the tie was lost last week with the way Moyes set us up to defend.defence is always better when we attack
1.) 19 Apr 2024 09:20:37
Imo we played better because we pressed aggressively, were brave it got the crowd up for it. Unfortunately most weeks we sit back and are far to cautious.
If we approached more games like this with players like bowen, paq Antonio, kudus we'd blow teams away.
Nothing to do with Paq not being there he's aggressive and likes to press would actually suit him more.
11 Apr 2024 22:03:12
The stats tell all 73% to 27% possession 33 shots to 1 13 shots to 1 on target. Another Moyes display of giving in before he even started
1.) 11 Apr 2024 22:13:24
Mercei how would you have lined up and what would have been your strategy for 90+mins?
What formation would you have gone with
2.) 12 Apr 2024 13:46:14
They are a team famous for scoring in the dying embers of a game. We should have gone at them from the start; attacked them and put them on the back foot, with a plan to close up shop in the later stages of the game. We didn’t. Instead we played the usual Moyes defensive game. We didn’t lay a glove on them and had just one weak shot. They are the first decent side we’ve played in Europe and Moyes was clueless.
24 Mar 2024 17:45:07
Reports on West Ham bringing Wilf Zaha back from Turkey. I always thought good player but a bit moody and injury prone.
1.) 25 Mar 2024 13:06:05
At 31, he’s too old.
2.) 27 Mar 2024 12:31:33
We also have 2 of the top wingers in the league. Why would we even entertain signing him?
Surely a striker, right back and centre backs are the main focus?
3.) 27 Mar 2024 19:42:56
Who's the wingers TKHammer BOWEN and?
4.) 29 Mar 2024 15:25:29
Coufal lmfao!
5.) 30 Mar 2024 12:23:07
Kudus
6.) 30 Mar 2024 14:53:08
KUDUS isn't a winger the GHANAIAN federation have told WEST HAM that but MOYES is such a great technician he knows best.???
7.) 03 Apr 2024 19:30:59
I thought they had said he isn't a striker
09 May 2024 21:40:54
Now now children behave
05 May 2024 16:01:29
Writing his resignation letter I hope
03 May 2024 10:37:45
Morning Chelmsford Hrs actually English by birth (to English parents) although brought up in Belgium he's very young at 31 and a lifelong Hammers supporter He speaks multiple languages and has been known to change language multiple times in team talks. Achieved an incredible 14 win run with Rheims and established them over the last two years
02 May 2024 16:08:07
Always fancied him as WHU next manager. Just something about him
30 Mar 2024 08:48:03
And Flynn Downes is flying at Southampton
11 May 2024 07:34:52
Whitby nice to see you back on here agree with you on virtually everything. Still feel Moyes let us down particularly the way he set up against the so called big 6 teams I always felt he gave them too much respect and watching the team unable to to do anything against teams like Palace Fulham and the 6-0 home loss to Arsenal was really bad. Yes he gave us a trophy but I honestly felt anyone could have done the same
07 May 2024 10:11:23
Well said Brooking and maybe a few of the u21s can get a look in too - pre season going to be interesting as well
05 May 2024 14:53:52
Gallagher has run the game for the first 45 Minutes nobody looks like being able to do anything feel a bit sorry for Bowen hit the bar twice
28 Apr 2024 18:20:45
Sorry should have said early Saturday kick off Predictive text doh!
21 Apr 2024 16:02:20
Awful performance I'm afraid Paquetta is a luxury we can't afford. Total lack of midfield and Fabs indecisiveness.this is like Fulham, Brentford, Liverpool and Arsenal all over again. Moyes not strengthening the squad is really telling and with no one on the bench of any note he might as well give the youngsters a go
