The Black Cats cruised to a three nil win over the Hammers on Saturday equalling their biggest win of the season so far against Reading. Sunderland were quick off the mark and showed the Hammers they wanted to control the game early on.
Sunderland were like Usain Bolt out of the blocks and it took just 12 minutes for Seb Larsson to chalk one up for the home side. [Read more…]
West Ham’s big forward Andy Carroll looks set for a return for the Hammers in just over a week. The striker has made very good progress after picking up a knee injury last November against Manchester United.
This was bad news for the Hammers as they feared that the on-loan striker would be sidelined until February. Andy Carroll has responded well to treatment and could be back in action for West Ham on Saturday week. [Read more…]
West Ham’s captain Kevin Nolan has been impressed lately by young Dan Potts and particularly after his good performance at the Boleyn Ground against Manchester United in their FA Cup draw last Saturday.

One of West Ham United’s chairmen David Gold is reported to be in hospital suffering from pneumonia according to reports coming from BBC Sport.
David Gold’s daughter Jacqueline said that the 76-year-old, who spent several days in hospital last year with septicaemia, is on strong antibiotics.
Jacqueline said on her Twitter account: “I think he has learnt a very harsh lesson – not to go to football with bronchitis, he now has pneumonia. He is being assessed.”
David Gold was at West Ham united’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday at the Boleyn ground and was taken to hospital on Tuesday night.
We don’t have much information at the moment about the co-chairman but when we do, you’ll be the first to know.
Brazilian striker Wellington Paulista is set to complete a loan deal with West Ham United and will undergo a medical examination later today.
Paulista, who is a frontman with tons of experience, arrived in the capital yesterday evening. Wellington Paulista is now the third signing that Big Sam Allardyce has made since the January transfer window was opened and follows the signings of Marouane Chamakh and Joe Cole who played in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Manchester United at the Boleyn ground.
The very experienced Brazilian has been very successful with his South American side Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and will be a welcome face in the premier League as the player is keen to show us what he is capable of.
The Hammers are looking to keep the Brazilian at the Boleyn Ground until the end of the season. If Wellington Paulista comes through his medical ok with no surprises, he would be offered a 3 year deal once he completes the rest of the season at the Hammers.
Big Sam has been very busy at the sales so far this January and can only mean good things for the Hammers, especially as we still have players out. Any additions are very welcome at the Boleyn Ground for sure.
