The recent turn around in Hammers' fortunes has been little short of spectacular, there is a definite feel good factor about the club despite a near catostrophic injury list that just seems to keep on growing. Unfortunately one of those on the long term list is Jack Wilshere, hindsight is a wonderful thing and with the benefit of hindsight signing Jack Wilshere on a three year deal on £100,000 per week wasn't the wisest of choices.

Well there we were hoping to see the look on Jose Mourinho's face as Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham overtook Mourinho's beleagured Manchester United side in the Barclays Premier League, unfortunately fate has dealt that aspiration a blow with what many knew would happen, namely the sacking of the 'Sour One'. Such a pity, because whoever comes in to replace him will surely galvanise United's players making the task of Hammers finishing ahead of them more difficult but not impossible.

West Ham United currently sit two points behind Manchester United and with the same goal difference, this coming Saturday Hammers are at home to Watford then travel to Southampton on the 27th and Burnley on the 30th before welcoming Brighton to the London Stadium. The Red Devils have Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Newcastle to come, so will be expecting to pick up plenty of points but with their current malaise under the "Sour One' Jose Mourinho who knows?
