2 DAYS AGO - Blast from the past
Saturday 15th August 2009 – the opening day of the 2009/10 Premier League season, Black Eyed Peas were number one with ‘I Gotta Feeling’, and Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler topped the UK box office in The Ugly Truth. West Ham United recorded an opening-day 2-0 victory over tonight’s opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of 28,674 at Molineux.
Future Hammer Matt Jarvis lined up for Wolves, while Carlton Cole returned to his former club. West Ham gave a debut to Luis Jimenez, who went on to make 12 appearances for the club, scoring once. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had an early opening in the game for the newly-promoted hosts but headed tamely over. His side were punished in the 22nd minute when Cole, out on the left, played a pass to the unmarked Mark Noble in a central position just outside the box, and the 22-year-old curled a beautiful right-foot shot past ‘keeper Wayne Hennessey (Nobes is pictured below, celebrating his goal with James Collins).

OOOOOOH YEEEESSSSSSS!!!
Don’t you just love football! After our previous run of embarrassing defeats, who would have thunk we would get all three points at Stamford Bridge, of all places ?
Not just three points, but three points away from home, our first win at Chelsea in 17 years, won on the back of a clean sheet while scoring a fine goal at the other end, curled in by a defender, with another one chalked off (correctly) by VAR. Not to forget one truly remarkable, yet fairly unspectacular Premier League debut from one of our own, David Martin, son of former West Ham stalwart, Alvin Martin.
Martin didn’t pull off one top class save after another to be brutally frank, but then again he didn’t have to, thanks to a valiant team performance which had been sorely lacking from our side in recent weeks.
A local lad making his West Ham debut, always a nice thing to see, especially if he’s the offspring of a proper West Ham legend. I keep Collapse

6 DAYS AGO - West Ham found their stride at Stamford Bridge just as Chelsea seemed to run out of gas. Aaron Cresswell’s excellent goal just after half time was the difference in this game. But this was a fine, disciplined performance throughout from a West Ham team who never looked stretched and ended up 1-0 victors – their first win on this ground since 2002, when Frank Lampard and Jody Morris were both in the Chelsea team.Manuel Pellegrini had come into this game under pressure after no wins in eight games. But his team came to play, were robust in the challenge, tightly stitched in defence, and with Declan Rice and Mark Noble fiercely disciplined in the centre. Continue reading... Collapse

20 HRS AGO - Oh, to be a Liverpool fan! Imagine going to a game week in ,week out and seeing your side not only win but score brilliant goals. I attended a game in 1965 at The Boleyn where Liverpool won 5-1. I don’t remember anything about the game, but I was sitting next to some smartly dressed Liverpool fans who displayed supreme confidence in their side and chatted away whilst their side went 4 -0 up at half time.
I compare this to myself today when I sit down to watch a game and have no confidence whatever and have major criticisms of the board, the manager, the ground and the players. But we, cockneys, are not cowards. We went through the Blitz and we know that after every test of character, there are sunny uplands awaiting us.
Winston Churchill must have supported West Ham, because he once said, “Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.”

2 DAYS AGO - The biggest challenge for Wolves on their way to fifth place in the Premier League and the knockout stages of the Europa League has been how well their back-up cast can come in for the regulars. So Patrick Cutrone’s clinching goal four minutes from time, after the Italian was teed up by fellow substitute Pedro Neto, could prove crucial in a month when Nuno Espírito Santo’s men play eight games.With Leander Dendoncker scoring the opening goal as Wolves made it 10 top-flight games unbeaten for the first time in 47 years, this was a night when Adama Traoré, Raúl Jiménez and Diogo Jota could all play major but supporting roles.

3 DAYS AGO - I had serious digestive problems on Saturday evening after I began to eat my hat following the Chelsea game.
I had sat down to watch the game with zero expectations. There was no way we were going to beat a young Chelsea side invigorated by Frank Lambard. I went into a zombie state to try to prevent the psychological trauma which follows a West Ham defeat.
As the game progressed, I thought I had entered an alternate universe. There was no way in the world that a side could turn around its performance in a week. Then came the beautiful goal and I was so dazed, I couldn’t perform my usual routine of jumping up and down and then running round the room. I had been rendered impotent by the recent performances and my only physical reaction was for my mouth to drop open.
It is impossible to analyse what has happened. It may have been the change of goalkeeper. You could see after the game how much respect the players have for David Martin. Perhaps they had decided they would give a little Collapse

The former Espanyol player made a series of high-profile errors after Fabianski suffered a long-term hip injury in September and he has become a divisive issue within the club.

4 DAYS AGO - Chelsea toothless without Tammy Abraham, Everton better than results suggest and clever Jonjo Shelvey helps LiverpoolAfter a medley of mid-table finishes, could this be the season Crystal Palace return to the top half? They finished 10th four years ago under Alan Pardew and after victory at Burnley are part of a chasing pack on the tails of fifth-placed Tottenham. The win stopped a worrying rot of five games without victory and, with Wilfried Zaha having come to the fore in recent outings, there is plenty for a painfully inconsistent Palace to build on. December looks kind, too, with Bournemouth the visitors to Selhurst Park on Tuesday before matches against Watford, Brighton, Newcastle, West Ham and Southampton. After a quiet start Zaha, who has scored in successive games, is beginning to take centre stage, which is right where Palace need him. “He has been very good in recent games,” Roy Hodgson said. “We are grateful for the three points but now we need to use this feeling going Collapse

After refusing to accept the glaringly obvious for two wretched months, Manuel Pellegrini finally saw sense and made the change that could save his job as West Ham’s manager.Out went Roberto, one of the worst goalkeepers ever to play in the Premier League, and in came David Martin, a 33-year-old journeyman who never imagined that his West Ham debut would come in a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

6 DAYS AGO - The big question today was whether it would be four on the spin. No, not four losses. That was foregone conclusion as far as I was concerned. It was whether we would go down by three goals again before the final whistle and thus allow me to get on with my life. I made that promise not only to myself, but to my family. Even the cat knew if things went as badly as expected playtime and treats would be on offer. Martin in between the pipes did nothing other than take Roberto out of the circular firing squad that is West Ham. Masuaku on the bench? OK. Fine. Haller dropped? Well, nobody should be undroppable. Antonio starting on cold day, coming off a hamstring injury, with a history of hamstring injuries and likely as much scar tissue in his leg as muscle. Our last win at Stamford Bridge was with DiCanio and Defoe up front. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently nothing.

7 DAYS AGO - This weekend West Ham fans will be travelling across to West London to play Chelsea, hoping that we can at least put on a half decent performance, at a ground where we have not had a lot of success in recent years. Ahead of the game I spoke to lifelong Chelsea fan Malcolm Walker from prison charity St Giles Trust to ask him his thoughts on the match and the season.
Hi Malcolm, the top of the table seems to be settling down as we near the midpoint of the season. Are you happy with where Chelsea find themselves?
Yes, delighted, Chelsea are playing some attractive football this year. Frank Lampard has changed the style so we are much more attacking.
It must be interesting having Frank Lampard Junior as your manager. How do you think he’s doing so far?
He was always the type of manager that would give opportunities to the younger players coming through but the transfer ban has forced his hand. As manager, Frank will be given more time by the Chelsea fans because of who he is and Collapse
