When one of our members in Austria contacted us to ask our opinion about Marko Arnautovic's injury picked up during the Home team's 3-0 friendly defeat by Brasil, we were taken aback and, still reeling from the news of Manuel Lanzini's dreadful anterior cruciate injury, somewhat in shock..only could it happen to West Ham! Then we saw a news clip which featured 'Arnie' and his national team manager laughing about how he would deal with the injury, which then transpired to be a fractured wrist incurred against Brasil.

West Ham have listed the club's pre-season friendly dates, one of which will include an intriguing match against newly relegated Aston Villa at Wallsall's Bescot Stadium on the evening of July the 25th at 19:45 Hrs.

West Ham United having confirmed the free transfer of Ryan Fredericks from cross town neighbours Fulham on a four year deal, and with the impending arrival of Felipe Anderson, Marlon Santos, Armando Izzo and Javier Pastore gaining huge press coverage things definitely seemed to be on the up at the London Stadium or the 'Souless Dome' as away supporters like to chant in order to taunt the home fans.
