I went to the wrong Match! West Ham v Bolton
Oct 6, 2008 Bolton, West Ham News
Reading some of the rags makes me wonder if I watched the same match as the persons who wrote the articles.
The Independent headlines: West Ham 1 Bolton 3: Error-strewn Green hands Bolton an easy victory. Hardly an easy victory, West Ham dominated most of the game with some fine passing football and possession, I must have missed that match!
Fair enough Green did make a couple of blunders which in his case is very rare, we usually only see those kind of mistakes made my David James and without those blunders Bolton would probably not have won.
Zola was right when he shouted to lads on the pitch “Chin Up” losing confidence after a goal is what West Ham is renown for.
Green was not the only person who made mistakes, Noble and Faubert lacked concentration and led to some silly passes to the opposition.
Overall i was pleased with the style skill we played, Zola promised us entertaining football and that,s what we got, as Zola said ” Winning every game is not important, its not War, but entertaining football is” and to me, entertainment is what i want each season when i pay for my season ticket.
Great game, well done to Bolton but hardly an easy win.

West Ham Vs Bolton: Live Streaming and Team News
Oct 5, 2008 Bolton, Gianfranco Zola, West Ham News
West Ham have won both their games under new manager Gianfranco Zola. The former Chelsea player will try to extend the run when they host Bolton.
A win today will see West Ham go into 1st place, well at least for 90 minutes until Chelsea and Liverpool finish.
West Ham news: Craig Bellamy is pushing for a starting place in the first XI, although it is likely Zola will stick to Cole and Di Michele up front. Dean Ashton is still out with an injury, as is Kieron Dyer. Zola’s concerns will mainly be the defence, conceding a goal in almost every match lately.
Bolton news: Gary Megson who spoke highly of both Zola and his predecessor Curbishley will try to win the game at Upton Park as he has lanuched a health programme at the Reebok Stadium. Matt Taylor will be back in contention despite not having played any reserve game. According to Megson, Matthew Taylor is the fittest player they have. The manager admitted Bolton have had problems winning away but will try to collect at least one point against the Londoners.
West Ham United still have the best home record in the Barclays Premier League with three wins from three and secured their first away win of the season at Craven Cottage last Saturday. Bolton, meanwhile, have the worst away record in the league - losing all three away from the Reebok Stadium.
Our bet: 3-1.

West Ham United v Bolton Wanderers: The Goal That Never Was!
Oct 4, 2008 West Ham News
West Ham’s little giant Gianfranco Zola is a quick learner. The Italian is understandably happy with West Ham since he took over 3 weeks ago.
Today, the Hammers play Bolton who are still upset at the way they lost to Manchester United last week, referee Rob Styles has apologised for his stupid decision in giving United a penalty that never was, Gartside will already have his legal team sharpening their knives over Rob Styles bad decision, the only humour i find with this is, the FA are the cause of this ridiculous legal controversy and in doing so have made a rod for there own back.
Last season, Styles also came under fire after he awarded Chelsea a non-existent penalty against Liverpool at Anfield.
The clever guys at the Prediction League give this as a 2-1 win to the Hammers.
And for those who made a small donation, will recieve the quality links to tomorrows game live in glorious quality.

Gartside has just made a laughing stock of Bolton
Oct 3, 2008 West Ham News
Phil Gartside is without doubt a very sad little character for claiming his teams defeat to West Ham in the 2006/07 season cost his club £700,000 in the end of league standing.
West Ham United will of course dispute this case and hopefully make the Bolton chairman look like the idiot that he is.
Phil Gartsides said:
“There is an argument to say we can claim three points from West Ham,”
“We went down there and lost 3-1, Tevez scored two and it cost us £700,000 because that was one place in the league.
“If Sheffield United are successful and get a claim then why shouldn’t we?”
Bolton finished 7th in the league that season with a total of 56 points and that is 2 points behind Everton, now lets take Tevez out of the picture, the score stands at 1-1!! which gives Bolton 1 extra point, still finishing in 7th place.
What grounds does this Idiot have for claiming 3 points.
I guess Bolton must need the publicity, it is just a shame they never get it from the games they play.
Sunday’s match against Bolton will prove the kind of silly damage he has caused his club with such a pathetic claim.

World Club Rankings - Top 25 Clubs Final Week
May 12, 2008 West Ham News
As the season draws to an end, we are getting close to the (temporary) end of the weekly version of the WCR Top 25 Clubs in the World rankings. As England and Portugal drew to a close this weekend, and Germany, France, Italy and Spain all finish up in a flurry of action next weekend, there won’t be enough movement in the rankings to justify running the stats every week. I anticipate publishing weekly rankings through the end of the Champions League, with additional rankings after the completion of the Copa Libertadores semifinals (early June) and championship (early July). Then, perhaps, a pre-season ranking to take place in early August before the rankings return to being a weekly fixture in September. During the break, I will continue publishing Annual Rankings from 1969 to 2006 (probably at a rate of a few a week). I may be experimenting with other features. If there’s anything else you’d like to see, let me know. I’m always looking for new ideas.
Now, to the rankings. Congratulations to Manchester United for winning another Premier League title. Man Utd remains at the top of the rankings and deservedly so. Other teams that were hoping to wrap things up this weekend weren’t as fortunate as Inter Milan stumbled in its match against Siena to have its Serie A lead cut to one and Bordeaux kept pace with Lyon to stay within striking distance with one fixture to go. Should make for an exciting weekend next weekend.
Most of the changes in the rankings this week take place because of things going on in South America. The quarterfinals are now set in the Copa Libertadores and it seems that some clubs did well in that tournament and some clubs did well domestically, but very few (save, perhaps LDU Quito) managed to do well in both. This resulted in teams moving around the rankings and a few teams being completely knocked out. This makes room for additional European teams who have been playing well recently such as Atletico de Madrid and Werder Bremen.
The most exciting matches of the upcoming week will likely be this weekend as championships will be determined in Serie A and La Championnat and European spots and relegations will be determined. Besides this, there are two matchups between Top 25 teams this week. The first takes place Wednesday as Sao Paulo hosts Fluminense in the first leg of a Copa Libertadores quarterfinal. The other takes place on Sunday as Porto and Sporting CP face off in the finals of the Portuguese Cup competition.
Now on to the rankings.
WCR Top 25 Clubs in the World – May 12, 2008
1. Manchester United (Eng) (1) – I’m guessing you already know this by now, but Man Utd defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 to win yet another Premier League title. The best team in the world now has only one test to go, but that test is more than a week away, so we’ll discuss that another time.
2. Chelsea (Eng) (2) – Only managed a draw with Bolton this weekend, giving up a late goal. As it turned out, Manyoo was doing its job, so Chelsea’s result didn’t matter in the big picture. Still, it would have been for the ol’ confidence to have a victory going into its match against Manyoo in the Champions League final. But, again, another story for another blog entry.

Pathetic!! Bolton v West Ham
Apr 12, 2008 West Ham News
By BigFrank
What the F*ck is going on, West Ham being made to look like a Championship club once again.
Playing against Bolton who before they played West ham could not fight there way out of a paper bag, made West ham look like Derby.
I am so sick of Curbs pre match banter to the Fans about getting behind the players, in fact Megson said exactly the same thing, Curbs Bruv, we live for West Ham, which you obviously don’t, Please BG, appoint a new manager in the summer.
I’m beginning to think it was true that Tevez was the only thing that saved us last season.
Well done Bolton, i hope you guys stay up, get rid of Megson and get Big Sam back before we take him.
I Cant be bothered to write anymore, im going to get slaughtered and look for some malt for sympathy, i will let you guys vote in the Poll on how you feel about this Sh*te team and Manager.

Bolton needs Big Sam!
Apr 11, 2008 West Ham News
By Frank Jackson & Arshad
I would say that Bolton are looking at relegation, but it may have been a different story if Big Sam had stayed, raising Bolton from a yo yo club to a top 6 side.
Megson clearly is not the right man for the job as a premier league manager, so will Bolton beg Big Sam to come back?
Bolton welcome West Ham to the Reebok Stadium this Saturday amidst reports that boss Gary Megson is on his way out.
With just five games to go before the Premiership season ends, the Trotters are four points away from safety and there appears to be no way out for them. Regular keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is out for the season and in his absence the team has conceded nine goals in four games.
West Ham will be keen to bounce back from a mid-week 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth. The Hammers season has been ruined by multiple injury concerns, but boss Alan Curbishley will
