West Ham 0, Tottenham 1. We Deserved Something.

5 HRS AGO - When we lose, which I know is often, I often shut football out of my life for rest of the weekend. I don’t watch any other matches, I don’t read any blogs or sites (sorry Iain), and I certainly stay off Twitter in terms of West Ham. So a loss on a Friday before an international break gave me a whole extra day to be angry. Definitely not something I needed. You know what I did? I watched baseball. The Red Sox in particular. I’m not a Sox fan per se. I’m a Mets fan. But the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and in that regard I’m a Red Sox guy all the way. And Boston has plowed through the opposition with delicious rage, and it has allowed me to kind of pretend what it feels like to support a team that used to define suffering but now wins. Boy, would that be nice.
The opening minutes were full of energy if not quality. Snodgrass ran like he wanted to show that ground covered was the most important statistic known to man. Arnautovic as always tried to make runs behind the Spurs Collapse
Opposition Q&A with Tottenham

14 HRS AGO - This week West Ham welcome (is that the correct word?) Spurs to the London Stadium. We have had varied results against our nearest Premier League rivals over the past few seasons, and it is sure to be a great atmosphere inside the ground. Ahead of the game I spoke to Andy of the Spurs fanzine"spursforlife":http//spursforlife.com to discuss the game and his thoughts on the season.
First of all what’s the latest news on the stadium? It seems like it’s being constructed by the same firm that is making Crossrail. You must be dying to get back to White Hart Lane.
Other than what’s been published in media recently there is still no set date for the stadium to open. Last week however I did receive an email saying my season ticket entrance card is now in the process of being sent, so hopefully soon. Wembley is very flat as all our supporters are very spread out, and the council also limit the tickets that are allowed to be sold for certain games.
Anyhow we’re playing at Collapse
Should Karren Brady be allowed to negotiate BREXIT?
1 DAY AGO - West Ham Vice Chairman Karren Brady appeared before the London Assembly Budget Monitoring Expand
1 DAY AGO - West Ham Vice Chairman Karren Brady appeared before the London Assembly Budget Monitoring committee at City Hall earlier this week and her performance was impressive.
The Baroness says she finds E20’s match day costs of up to £290,000 per West Ham game quite incredible and she doesn’t understand them.
Brady explained that West Ham’s running costs at the Boleyn Ground before the move were £51,000 per match day including stewarding, police and electricity for the former 35,000 stadium in Green Street. She added even doubling that amount should mean a cost of £102,000 per match day which would be less than West Ham rent for the London Stadium. She says she shared those figures as part of the original tender process. She insisted that West Ham’s rent was not too low at close to £3m per year but the London Stadium running costs were way too high. “I refuse to accept any criticism that our rent is too low, because that is simply not the case. Costs are too high,” Brady said.

1 DAY AGO - What makes Anfield better than Wembley? Why did Juventus fans hate the Stadio delle Alpi? And why are West Ham fans unhappy? Architects and design experts offer some answersBy Sam Diss for MUNDIAL, part of the Guardian Sport NetworkI’m a West Ham fan. Our stadium is not good. It’s beautiful, but broken. It hosted the greatest British sporting event of the last 50 years, a grand and gleaming Olympic Games, but cannot handle a lower-mid-table Premier League game. This half-a-billion pound stadium gleams in the sunlight, but it’s full of holes, gaps, missing pieces, large canyons between prefab stands that are papered over, almost literally, with plastic claret sheets. The stadium’s problems are not just physical; they’re also psychological. It doesn’t feel like a football ground because it’s not one. It makes you wonder: what makes a great football stadium?Grounds grow to match the identity of their team. Character is more important than capacity or having a technologically advanced Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Blast from the past
Today’s focus sees us travel back over 115 years, to the 14th February 1903 – this particular Valentine’s Day saw psychoanalyst Carl Jung marry Emma Rauschenbach, the elder daughter of a wealthy industrialist. West Ham United, meanwhile, secured a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in front of 8,000 at the Memorial Grounds.
The winning goal was scored by inside-forward James Wallace (pictured). Wallace made his West Ham debut at inside-right in a 1-0 FA Cup third qualifying round victory at Leyton on 2nd November 1901; his only other appearance that season was a 3-0 defeat at Reading three weeks later. He had better luck in 1902/03 when he switched to the inside-left berth against Wellingborough in January 1903 and kept the position for the remainder of that campaign, scoring his first two goals for the Irons in his next two games, a 1-1 draw at Bristol Rovers and 3-2 home win over Northampton. The strike in this featured match against Tottenham was his Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Tottenham have been stretched by injuries in recent weeks and they will still be without Dele Alli, Danny Rose and Jan Vertonghen at the London Stadium. After holding Chelsea and beating Manchester United in their past two home games, West Ham can be forgiven for wondering if this is a good time to play their London rivals. With that in mind, Mauricio Pochettino could do with Christian Eriksen shaking off the abdominal injury that has kept him out for a month. Jacob SteinbergSaturday 3pm Continue reading... Collapse

5 HRS AGO - Tottenham’s best ever start to a Premier League season goes on, even if they continue to give the impression that they have yet to hit their stride. They were the better team here and had the best player on show in Érik Lamela, whose cute first-half header proved the difference.One thing is clear. It is a good sign for Mauricio Pochettino and the club that they are winning without truly dazzling. This game marked the start of a gruelling run of seven matches in 21 days and Spurs will need all of their powers of endurance as they resume on Wednesday at PSV Eindhoven in a must-win Champions League tie.

1 DAY AGO - José Mourinho will want to make a point at Stamford Bridge while Chris Hughton returns to a chaotic St James’s ParkIn Manchester United’s last match, against Newcastle, José Mourinho demonstrated some of the audacity with which he made his name. He made a tactical substitution after 19 minutes, swinging a game his team was already losing 2-0 back in his side’s favour. Two of the three goals United scored came from his substitutes. It was an impressive demonstration of a coach’s ability to affect a match, the only shame being that the transformation was made necessary by the appalling performance of his starting XI. United are still some way from convincing anyone of their outstanding quality, with the best team they have beaten so far ninth-placed Watford. If they are to set a new marker in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off against Chelsea, Mourinho will have to demonstrate his tactical astuteness again – only without the woeful opening this time.
