All you budding hammers (or even those who are neutral but up for a good sing & a laugh!) feel free to follow us on facebook & twitter and get amongst the rowdiness.

There will be a BIG away crowd from West Ham. We have the Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney & Adelaide Hammers coming over. Definitely a couple hundred at least.

The Kiwi Hammers are expecting to be contacted very shortly by the Phoenix about a dedicated away end and ticket allocations.

He was coaching Braintree, and I think he still is (can't be bothered checking). I had a beer with him and Phil Parkes a couple of years ago, where he told me stories of coaching in the lower leagues, and I giggled way too much for a grown man

Ha, you met Phil Parkes. I knew him when he was at QPR. He had a shop on Uxbridge road. A sports shop called Parskeys. I went in there one day and he told me I'd just missed Devonshire and Paul Goddard in there. Big disappointment for me as I rated both players highly. I still bave a West Ham coffe mug Phil gave me. Miles Davis has a signed West Ham year book that I gave him as he seemed genuine enough. In the middle it is signed to me. Small world Frankie, small world. 

Speaking of Paul Goddard where's he now? Parkes just had an operation for intestinal cancer, I hope he recovers. A top man who never got the international recognition. I thought he was better than Shilton.

PS: I hear Phil Parkes's operation went well. Fingers crossed.

Downing and Zarate playing football, but the lummox Carroll in front, so all the play seems to be looking to then go wide and lump it into the box. Not completely sold on Amalfitano.

watched 30mins so far.

Carroll back but like Nolan as to fight for his place now like everyone else. Better cos more options and heavy christmas schedule says squad strength/depth is valued. COYI  Swansea City we're coming for you!
