England take on France at Wembley this evening, all decent minded human beings are being urged to sing La Marseillaise tonight.
Here are the words, belt them out loud! -Ed

La Marseillaise

Allons enfants de la Patrie (Arise, children of the Fatherland)

Le jour de gloire est arrivé! (The day of glory has arrived!)

Contre nous de la tyrannie (Against us tyranny's)

L'étendard sanglant est levé (Bloody banner is raised - repeat)

Entendez-vous dans les campagnes (Do you hear, in the countryside)

Dimitri Payet has been ruled out for three months with ankle ligament damage, the France international suffered the injury to his left ankle after a horror tackle from Everton's James McCarthy in the first half of Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Boleyn Ground. Payet has been Hammer's main man since his £10.75 Million arrival from Marseille in the summer and will be sorely missed while he recovers from the surgery that he now requires.

West Ham United have revealed their financial figures for the year, which while full of positives also confirms the absolute necessity of staying in the Barclays Premier League ahead of the move to the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. Karren Brady as much confirmed this in a press statement, and a closer look at the figures show just how much the board have pushed the boat out to ensure survival. All talk of reaching the Champions League will be put on hold until Hammers have reached the 40 points believed to be required. -Ed

No Sakho!

Hammers take on the Hornets at Vicarage Road well aware that this fixture could have a 'sting in the tail'! West Ham fans of a certain age will remember 'high flying hammers' being brought down to earth by clubs placed well below them, particularly in Cup matches, Oldham, Luton and Mansfield spring painfully to mind. So this Barclay's Premier League fixture has banana skin written all over it, Watford worst scoring home record, West Ham best away record, in past times this would definitely end in a Hornets victory with Payet being sent off and Andy Carroll injured!

Victor Moses' unavailability to play against his parent club chelsea in this weekend's london derby against west ham, opens the door for Michail Antonio to make his full debut and show Hammers fans why the club shelled out over £7 Million for an as yet unproven winger/striker from second tier team Nottingham Forest.
