Hammers heartbeat ticks faster and faster
Once again this season it’s too often been too easy to focus on the West Ham negatives when the merest glance below the surface shows a club which is truly on the move …notably at grass roots level. Four defeats at the start of the season…a colossal injury list…the Arnautovic saga…regular inconsistency as a new […]

Hammers in relegation battle
West Ham’s under 23s were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool at the Chigwell Construction Stadium last night to leave them second off bottom in the 12 team League.

Hammers on loan striker looks booked for a return
West Ham are unlikely to get a transfer windfall from the hoped for sale of Jordan Hugill to Middlesbrough in the summer. ClaretandHugh understands that Riverside boss Tony Pulis has cooled on the striker who joined the Championship side on a season-long loan last year.

The Hammers loanee also notched in the game against Udeinese […]
Diop set for pivotal Fulham role
Issa Diop is up for another big physical challenge on Friday night and is using the prolonged break to decide on how to handle a certain Aleksandar Mitrović. Ironically, with the Hammers looking for strikers this summer, the Fulham front man has been mentioned by many as a possible target and seven goals in a struggling side […]
