West Ham United
About:
The club was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. In 1904 the club relocated to the Boleyn Ground. They initially competed in the Southern League and Western League before eventually joining the full Football League in 1919 and subsequently enjoyed promotion to the top flight for the 1923 season. 1923 also saw the club feature in the first FA Cup Final to be held at Wembley against Bolton Wanderers.
In 1940 the team won the inaugural Football League War Cup. The club has won the FA Cup three times: in 1964, 1975 and 1980 as well as being runners-up twice, in 1923 and 2006. In 1965, they won the European Cup Winners Cup, and in 1999 they won the Intertoto Cup.The club's best final league position is third place in the 1985–86 First Division.
Adebayor. Seriously?
Forums:
On Newsnow we're apparently linked with "Superstar" striker Adebayor and a deal is close to completion for the summer. So to whoever is sanctioning/persuing this deal here's my question. Are you (expletive) serious?
Gerrard and Skirtel
Forums:
So Stevie G has apologised for his stamp (would he have done had it not been seen and he was not ordered from the field of play?) Skirtel stamped on De Gea erm hello SKY no mention of that one eh, I hope they both get the book thrown at them ... Skirtel has got away with thuggery for ages , Slippy as we all know is well past his sell by date and how on earth did he win over 100 England caps is English football really that bad? I hope teams in the States have shin guards tied to the goal posts because they will need them.
we have all done this in the past

How to stop rich clubs buying all the best players?
Forums:
A way must be found to stop the clubs with almost infinite amounts of cash from simply buying up all the best players. I watched Man City v West Brom yesterday, and the gulf in class was ridiculous. Admittedly the Baggies had a man sent off early, but it was like watching a practice game: defenders against attackers. West Brom, literally, barely even got out of their own half, and had one chance in the whole game, City had 26 chances in the first half alone!
Is it time to learn some lessons from American football, with genuine salary and spending caps?
It is not entertainment to watch one side walk all over another side because their team cost 100s of millions more than the opposition! What achievement is there in such a victory?
I know that it would never be possible to make all teams equal, but surely it is for the good of the game to make things just a little more competitive?
With our corrupt and archaic governing bodies I see little prospect of the gravy train being upset... yet another reason to throw out the corrupt fat cats at FIFA.
Standard of refereeing
Forums:
Refereeing decision are getting ridiculous. We all witnessed the abysmal performance of the ref in our match yesterday but other matches had the same ridiculous decisions. In particular the Palace game where Palace were given a penalty even though the keeper didn't foul the attacker who should have been booked for high feet anyway.
The Goals Have Dried Up
Forums:
This was the answer to the goal scoring problem Westham were experiencing last season,the appointment of Teddy Sheringham to work with the forwards.A top striker who has played at the highest level and who knows a thing or two about scoring.This was Sullivan's comments on the appointment:
West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan insists Teddy Sheringham's arrival as attacking coach does not undermine the position of manager Sam Allardyce - but admits the club must target a top-six finish.
The Irons' board backed Allardyce following showdown talks in the summer sparked by a campaign which ended in 13th place, but only after a late pull clear of the relegation scrap.
Sullivan believes 48-year-old former England international Sheringham, who enjoyed a three-season spell as a player at Upton Park, can bring a cutting edge to the team and work well alongside the manager, who sustained a third campaign in the Barclays Premier League following promotion via the 2012 play-off final.
"Yes, we suggested the idea, but Sam liked it. We didn't undermine him at all," Sullivan said in the Daily Mirror.
"We had a lot of people approach us to become our attacking coach and Sam picked the one he wanted.
"I think he has analysed the performance of the team last year and agreed that we would like to score more goals. It was a weakness of the team and he has brought in an expert to try and improve that.
At present Westham are the 8th highest scorers in the league with 40 goals..Of that number 29 goals were scored in 17 games before Christmas,but only 11 goals in 13 games since then.Over that same period Westham conceded 18 goals in 17 games and 19 goals in 11 games.It was looking very bright up until Christmas, Westham were playing some of the best football fans have watched in a long ,long time and then it all starts falling apart,the results ,the performances apart from a few exceptions,and the slide down the table.So what has gone wrong ?
