Having not been contacted by the Real West Ham Fans Action Group about their march planned for Saturday the 10th of March, it should be of no concern to us at the Org that it has been postponed. The proposed march divided opinion among many 'non-verbal' Hammers' fans, with some feeling that the demonstration ahead of a crucial Premier League survival game would play in to the oppositions hands by creating an air of negativity which with the best will in the world would almost invariably have a bad effect on the playing staff.

Once again a raft of crucial West Ham United fixtures are due to be changed by Sky TV broadcasters, all four of Hammers' Premier League fixtures in April have been rearranged. The game away at Chelsea will now be shown on Sky Sports on Sunday the 8th of April, with a 4.30pm kick-off, however this fixture is subject to change should the Stamford Bridge outfit be in UEFA Champions League action the following Tuesday.

One time target of West Ham United, free transfer option Ex-Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has been banned from football for six months because of a drip treatment he took at a Los Angeles clinic in 2016, 30 year old Nasri took the treatment while on holiday, but it contravened World Anti-Doping Agency rules leading to a Spanish Anti-Doping investigation. Uefa imposed the suspension, which it says is open to appeal.

Twenty five years have flown by since England's greatest ever footballer died, some might say that Sir Stanley Mathews warrants the accolade of having been the country's finest, but none can doubt Bobby Moore was the greatest!

Hammers supporters really can be forgiven for the deja vu feeling they are having as 'news' of Andy Carroll's potential return from injury has 'snuck out' from the club, and around the same time David Sullivan has offered an 'olive leaf' to fans ahead of the March in March before the Burnley game at the 'Ironic' London Stadium. Andy Carroll has had more 'returns from injury' than a cat with nine lives, so his highly anticipated return for the last fortnight of the season will be viewed with a certain amount of scepticism!

In what will come as wonderful news and a considerable relief for West Ham United manager and current saviour David Moyes, Manuel Lanzini has declared that he will be ready and able if selected to play Hammers next fixture against Liverpool at Anfield on the 24th of February.

West Ham United are set to sign former Manchester United left back Patrice Evra until the end of the season, the disgraced 36 year old Frenchman has been without a club since he left Marseille by mutual consent in November after kicking one of the club's fans before a Europa League match. In what many will see as a 'pound store' purchase Evra, who was banned from Uefa competition for the rest of the season, but is able to play for West Ham will arrive on a free transfer.
