1962 was the last year Hammers got a result at Anfield, certain members of the Org staff were 6 years old, others a distant twinkle in their father's eye! It is only half time, but the game so far shows that Slaven Billic is an astute manager for AWAY games, where his propensity for a solid defence that allows his teams to hit on the break is a potentially winning formula.

Hammers down to the bare bones? Looks more like an autopsy! (actually, it doesn't look that bad!)

As Daniel Levy puts the brakes on Emmanuel Adebayour's move from Tottenham to West Ham for a second time, it is worth considering why the Spurs supremo has such an apparently pathological dislike for the Irons? The roots of the problem stem from way before the Olympic Stadium bidding process, but why? Tottenham, rightly or wrongly, have always thought of themselves as a top club who have the history, wealth and negotiating power to 'plunder' players from less well financed teams than themselves.
