Sunderland 2 ​

Steed Malbranque 75
Darren Bent 79


West Ham 0


MoM - Scott Parker , The determined midfielder makes West Ham pay for selling him in the summer with a excellent preformance


A poor game from West Ham the team never looked in control and just did not look at scoring at any point of the game.



---------------------------------------------

Everton V West Ham

After a poor preformance against against Sunderland Mark Tang urged his players that he expects better from his side as they face a tought test away to Everton.



Everton 0

West Ham 0

MoM - Steven Piennar, was a constant threat to West Hams' defence with his pace and flair.

A game where Everton looked more likely taking all three points in a game where they dominated in possession, West Ham manager may be pleased to leave Goodison Park with a point after his team was 2nd best.

West Ham 0
Anthony Annan Sent off 90+1

Arsenal 2

Robert Green o.g 62
Theo Walcott 64

MoM - Gael Clichy, West ham were on the back foot for most of the game giving the Frenchman a pass to attack creating some key passes inside the West Ham final third.

West Ham never looked like winning this one and were out classed for most of this game, and simply broke apart once Robert Green put the ball into his own net.

--------------------------------------------------------------

After 1 point afer the first 3 opening games West Ham find themselves towards the bottom of the table and improvement are needed by the Hammers or it could be another dissapointing season for the fans

As im a west ham fan i will have a look now and then to see how you are getting on but Layout could be improved aswell as detail.. Take a look at my story for some ideas
