Atmosphere, Ionosphere And Stratosphere!

Atmosphere, Ionosphere And Stratosphere! That is where bubbles go! Of course they fade and die, but while they fly they nearly reach the sky, currently, on their way, West Ham United have encountered and beaten three of the best teams in the Barclays Premier League on their travels. The first, a victory against Arsenal at the Emirates was seen as the 'freak of the week' result by BBC pundits, the second against Liverpool was described as totally unexpected by all and sundry and now a 2- 1 victory against title leaders Manchester City, who had not conceded a Premier league goal all season, Hammers have finally been shown the respect that the team deserve.
The match against Manchester City is first up on match of the day!!!! Unbelievable, in fact it is almost as unbelievable as West Ham United winning their first three away fixtures against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City!
Yes, if you are viewing this from a south sea atol or a boat in the middle of the Ocean or anywhere else this is all true and not a delusion! Although it might be time to be temporarily delusional with the assistance of some liquid refreshment, because when things are going well, the odd hangover is easily forgotten, or remembered with fondness for why it occurred in the first place.
These are happy times to be a hammer! - Ed

Nikola Jurcevic Becomes Slaven's Assistant Manager Again!

Slaven Billic has finally recruited the last of his West Ham back room staff with the appointment of Nikola Jurcevic as his assistant manager joining first team coach Edin Terzic, head of performance Miljenko Rak, goalkeeping coach Chris Woods and coaching assistant Julian Dicks. Jurcevic and Billic worked together at Lokomotiv Moscow and Besiktas as well as with the Croatian national side.
Jurcevic told the official west ham website www.whufc.com: “I am very happy that I can start work at the Club, I am very motivated for the future and think we have a good team. I hope we will have a very good season,“I have worked with Slaven for a number of years with the Croatian national team, Lokomotiv Moscow and Besiktas. He called me about West Ham and I said yes straight away.“I am very excited to work in England because I think that Premier League is one of the best in the world.“I know it is a big opportunity for me and I am happy to work in the Premier League, live in London and work for a big club like West Ham.“I know Slaven well and when I started my career as a coach and was manager in Croatia, Slaven called me when he was national coach and we worked together for six-years. We are good friends but we have a similar view on football and we work really well together.“I am professional, have a big experience in football having worked in Belgium, Austria, Germany and have played in the big tournaments in Europe. I also have the experience as a coach and will do my best for West Ham. I hope we will be successful.
Talks a good talk, let it be hoped that his visa difficulties weren't a bad omen! - Ed

Hi Folks - I am a hammers fan from Belfast and am planning my long overdue first visit to the Boleyn before the move to OS. I'm in London in early Nov so hoping to get to irons vs Everton. The web has loads of guides for visiting away fans but SFA for a first time home supporter! Any advice on decent pies and pubs pre-game and how best to get to central London after the game would be appreciated. Cheers!

Top of the alternative league

I've just seen an alternative league table with us at the top, only problem is it's for the amount of long balls played, we lead with 174 followed by Watford on 171 and Sunderland on 149, our opponents at the weekend Man City have played 75, bottom of the league, no great surprise, is Arsenal at 65, strange how I don't get that feeling that we're lumping it long all the time as I did under Sam Allardyce

Pundits are all backing us to do well on the weekend and rightly so considering our last two away performances.
But has me worried generally when we are talked about positively which is rare, or our tails are somewhat up we get rolled over.
That in turn is the west ham way... Build us up and then let us down. (Not that I'm expecting us to maul city)
Hopefully bilic makes some more history this weekend.
