west ham united

West Ham United Football Club is a professional football club based in Stratford, East London, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of the English football league system. The club plays at the London Stadium, having moved from their former home, the Boleyn Ground, in 2016.
West Ham United was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. It moved to the Boleyn Ground, which remained its home ground for more than a century, in 1904. The team initially competed in the Southern League and Western League before joining the Football League in 1919. It was promoted to the top flight in 1923, when it was also losing finalist in the first FA Cup final held at Wembley. In 1940, the club won the inaugural Football League War Cup.
West Ham United has won five major honours in its history. Domestically, it has been winner of the FA Cup three times (1964, 1975 and 1980) and runner-up twice (1923 and 2006). In European competitions, the club has reached three major European finals winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965, finishing runner-up in the same competitions in 1976, and winning the second edition of the Conference League in 2023. The club has also won one minor European trophy by winning the Intertoto Cup in 1999. West Ham United is one of eight clubs never to have fallen below the second tier of English football, spending 68 of 100 league seasons in the top flight, up to and including the 2025–26 season. The club's highest league position to date came in 1985–86, when it achieved third place in the then First Division.
Three West Ham players were members of the 1966 World Cup finals-winning England team: captain Bobby Moore and goalscorers Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Millwall, and the fixture has gained notoriety for frequent incidents of football hooliganism. West Ham adopted their claret, sky blue and white colour scheme in the early 1900s, with the most common iteration of a claret shirt and sky blue sleeves first emerging in 1904.

    West Ham

    Seem to be having a bash at buying early. Jussi is having a medical and elhomandy (sp?) has tweeted he is in talks. Richardson also rumoured to be in talks. Could be buying a new team.

    Reading, Southampton, West Ham

    Obviously its difficult to assess them before the summer comings and goings, but who honestly thought last year Norwich, Swansea and Newcastle would all stay up, let alone stay up with a level of ease I dont reckon has been witnessed in the Prem before. Saints will be a bit of a pain because...

    Championship play-off final: Blackpool v West Ham

    Should be interesting this. Hopefully Blackpool will make a good game of it and not get rolled over. Hammers big favourites but it would be good to see porn kings flop.

    Popcorn At The West Ham Gala Dinner

    Its all kicked off at the end of season dinner. West Ham fans paid £275 a head to attend the Gala, despite being relegated yesterday. And it all went pearshaped when Sundays 2 goal near-hero Demba Ba REFUSED to sign autographs for a few fans, because he was "too tired" West Ham fans began...

    Bye bye West Ham justice finds you eventually

    Sad Sheff Utd have had to suffer so much so wrongly at the same time. No meddling from Brooking can reverse this slide, and the few players of any real quality they have will already be on moves elsewhere. Good riddance.

    Everton 2-2 West Ham United. Saturday 22nd January @ 15.00.

    A must, must win if such a tedious handle existed for a game. Whilst abject disappointment didn't reign freely post derby, the type of optimism that only a home win over Spurs and a win against ****e lower league opposition can only bring. That said we are playing with a bit more confidence...

    "Everton could be going head-to-head with West Ham to try and sign Hoffenheim's Ba"

    Don't know anything about him really other than he's bagged a hatful this season. Anyone seen him play and think he'll fit into the way we play? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1349440/Everton-join-West-Ham-battle-sign-Hoffenheim-striker-Demba-Ba.html

    Lawro's Prediction for Everton v West Ham United

    Everton have started to pick up a bit of form since they lost to Stoke at the start of January. They beat Tottenham, stuffed S****horpe in the FA Cup, and had a very good draw against Liverpool last time out. They should win this one fairly comfortably, too. The whole situation at West Ham is...
