Use our rumours form to send us west ham transfer rumours.

Costa should have been sent off for that challenge on Adrian.
15 Aug 2016 22:31:37
Agree, but be honest we deserved nothing from the game, not saying Chelsea were good because they weren't but we were dreadful.
15 Aug 2016 22:39:16
could argue it was a pen for them in first half aswell.
16 Aug 2016 12:40:59
Chelsea were exceptional. Tore and Nord were terrible. Carroll was isolated because Enner is useless. Left back had a great debut. We deserved nothing. Loans and frees and overpriced Ayew. BUT we still have enough for mid table. That's my honest thoughts.

Poor performance all round I know big fat sam was there but did he do the team talk before, well there is one positive it can't get any worse can it? We need a right back but we all know that and a striker I'm sorry but Valencia shouldn't even be in the development squad oh and slavs love tore is toilet nordveit was rubbish, what is biblical doing to Antonio I know it was a blatant pen but Jesus he's going to ruin the lad and his confidence I feel sorry for the boy.

Well well well, normal service resumed, we were well off the pace, lots of injuries too, how long ayew will be out for is anyone's guess at moment but didn't look good! Billic realy needs to organise these players and play Antonio on the wing or I fear he will leave! Tonight proves he's not a RB. And now Europa on Thursday and boutnemouth Sunday who can be very quick up top. Feel ogbonna needs to play with Reid . Why are we still playing Valencia!
15 Aug 2016 22:24:12
was horrible performace way too slow in everything carroll isolated too often felt sorry for him, and I thought the same how long before antonio asks to leave byram looked fine when he came on, formation was way to negative from the start noble and nordveit deep.
15 Aug 2016 22:26:59
Thought defence wasn't too bad once Sam came on but in front of them was awful. What the hell happened to Nordtveit, did he put his boots on the wrong feet? He went from looking a very good footballer in the first couple of games, to someone who couldn't pass 10 feet to a team mate. Having said that whole team were pants.
Very worrying!
15 Aug 2016 21:58:56
Well we got well and truly beaten tonight. look way off a top six side on that performance. Valencia proves it time for him to be sold.
15 Aug 2016 22:08:27
But it wasn't just Valencia, it was the whole team, complete shambles.
15 Aug 2016 21:52:06
If we play like that all year we will go down.
15 Aug 2016 22:07:00
Agree, it was awful, only positive from 90+ mins was hopefully SB has finally realised what we all knew. Antonio is not and will never be a RB.
No movement, no passion, no accurate passes, no nothing.
What the hell happened?
15 Aug 2016 21:51:26
West Ham back to how they were a year ago with Carroll up front lumping it forward instead of a mobile striker running between the lines and down the channels as Sakho did. No Payet and Lanzini and West Ham certainly are a lot weaker and Antonio at Right Back? Do me a favour! How much longer do we have to put up with this? We need an experienced Right Back with Byram as his understudy! As much as I like Collins and he come up with a goal tonight he's not mobile enough not in the same league as Ogbonna. Still a few issues to address with 2 weeks left of the transfer window but from what I'm hearing business is pretty much done. Very frustrating! With another 3 quality signings we could have a go at 4th but with the way things stand with the team and the fact that we could have a busy schedule with Europe I'd day 8th/ 9th.
15 Aug 2016 21:10:04
And there's the reason why you don't play am attacker as a RB.
15 Aug 2016 21:58:16
ABSOLUTELYHow many more times is this going to happen When Ayew was injured put Antonio up front bring on Byram, INSTEAD Antonio dribbles twice in the penalty area, it's natural to him, we give penalty away, BUT BUT BUT we were terrible rubbish, better squad than last year. Eerrrr NO, WE Didn't deserve anything . CARROLL tried hard but was completely isolated, topping that TORE looked useless and we have now four injured, great start WH, we. Made Chelsea look world beaters, and they are certainly not, IRONMIKE.
15 Aug 2016 22:07:46
Terrible substitution . had to be byram on for ayew with Antonio going up on the wing . only the left back looked any good out of the new signings . noble and norveltt looked so off the pace it was ridiculous . tore and Valencia awful ⚒.
15 Aug 2016 19:27:54
Why is Valencia starting? Why is he even in the squad?
I hope he proves me wrong, but I am amazed, we've got quality like Feghouli and we play Valencia infront of him?
15 Aug 2016 19:50:56
Why not play byram RB push Antonio up instead of Valencia. Surely this makes more sense if feghouli is injured! This whole playing anotonio at RB is silly.
Also. why is ogbonna not starting?
15 Aug 2016 19:54:20
Feghouli is injured so there's your answer for that.
15 Aug 2016 13:03:51
predictions for tonight's game? I expect hazard to be the difference.2-0 to Chelsea for me although our defence is terrible so if you get passed the midfield you could hammer us. pun intended.
15 Aug 2016 15:20:57
3-1 To West Ham
Ayew, and Carroll x2.
15 Aug 2016 15:49:00
do you expect both ayew and Carroll to start? I don't know what to expect for your starting 11.
I put fegouhli in my fantasy team (regretting it) but will see I suppose. not even sure he will start?
15 Aug 2016 15:59:50
would think ayew would start n left and feghouli on right to be honest.
15 Aug 2016 16:34:33
I've got feghouli in too. He will do well. I think it will be 2-1. Ogbonna and kayoute to score.
15 Aug 2016 19:18:26
feghouli injured, antonio at rb and valencia playing ouch.
15 Aug 2016 21:19:45
As a spurs fan I'm not a lover of the other London clubs but I always want west ham to beat Chelsea and Arsenal.
15 Aug 2016 10:50:31
Hii fellas, well by now you have seen all the other teams play except Chelsea of course, SPURS look the same for me, ARSENAL will always score goals, but at the back they are a nightmare, LIVERPOOL looked Fantatsic, BUT if they have to score four goals to win agame they won't last long, MAN UN. First two goals were shall we say just a little lucky? MAN CITY, looked good BUT certainly not unbeatable, SAINTS, the same for me, BEST ORGANISED TEAM ffor me
Was WBA SO that's why this game tonight is important! IF we can put down a marker at the beginning, we could have an excellent season! and I hope And think WE WILL, IRONMIKE.
15 Aug 2016 21:20:57
Yes, spurs look the same to me as well, a champions league club lol.
