“I’m back and I’m ready.”

Ahead of today's crucial home tie against Local rivals Crystal Palace Hammers fans have been hoping for some good news and it seems as if they have found it in the form of Lucas Pacqueta's upbeat social media announcement of "“I’m back and I’m ready.”

Irons go into this weekend's fixture at home against Palace knowing they really need a positive result against their London rivals, followed by an equally positive performance against Leicester City in the following game.

To many fans the whereabouts and contract details of Hammers keeper Darren Randolph are an absolute mystery, the Republic of shot stopper has occupied a 'unique' role during his second stint at the club which has quite blatantly been the vessel from which David Moyes delivered his transfer 'desires' to the club's hierarchy. For many games Randolph has been named in the match day squad AND on the bench for the first team.

There are many mysteries that remain unsolved in the Universe, somehow just trying to comprehend them can result in a head ache or merely total confusion, we accept this state as part of our existence and see no reason as to not proceed along our merry or not so merry paths. However one 'Mystery' we continuously ask ourselves at the Org is 'why Sky?' whenever a Hammers game is screened live on Sky, which is EXTREMELY often.

Results elsewhere have seen Hammers drop down to one place above the Premier League relegation zone ahead of tonight's home game against Bournemouth, a defeat would get the 'natives' all restless again and heap more pressure onto a squad that should be doing better given the recent substantial investment in it. However, a win would catapult West Ham above Brentford and into tenth place.
