'It was a great day for us'

Hammers manager Sam Allardyce was delighted to see his side take all three points against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday with striker Andy Carroll twice making the scoresheet and Gary O'Neil notching his first at the Boleyn Ground.
West Brom clawed one goal back in reply through a late penalty from Graham Dorrans, while Youssuf Mulumbu headed down the tunnel for an early bath after being sent off deep into stoppage time.
After sealing a convincing 3-1 win for the Hammers, Allardyce hailed Carroll's performance as his best in claret and blue.
"When you look at the overall performance and the quality of the goals, it was a great day for us," said Allardyce.
"We were glad to get out there after two weeks so they could show what they can really do again. Last time we played here it was a fantastic game but we ended up losing in the last minute.
"This time we played a fantastic game and scored three fantastic goals and got a thoroughly deserved win.
"There were three very different quality goals. The first showing Andy Carroll's heading ability, Gary O'Neil with a delicate chip and of course the outstanding volley from Andy shows it's not just about his aerial dominance, it's about the overall ability that Andy has.
"I don't think you'll see a better volley technique than that one this season. Over the shoulder, right foot volley - which is his weaker foot - right into the bottom corner.
"Andy put two goals on the end of a good performance. I think his good performances have been with us before and the fans always appreciate his ability here but he today he's shown them what he is all about.
"He's shown them his ability outside of the box and the ability he's got in the box, along with his goalscoring ability. I hope this is kicking him on to being a regular goal scorer for us in the next eight games or so and upping his total as much as he can until the end of the season.
"Andy is in a good frame of mind now and finally after a long wait he has improved his match fitness and that's why I think you're seeing the performances and goals that you're seeing.
"Finally he's there and he is enjoying himself and that is more important than anything else.
"It's a great result for us and a great performance which of course takes us ever closer to that safety margin. Now we're looking forward to playing Liverpool away next week."
But there was more heartache for defender George McCartney, who was returning from a long-term absence only to suffer a recurrence of his knee injury.
Allardyce added: "I think the only downside today was George McCartney's injury, which was a big blow to George and to us. He's only just come back and he's come off with the same thing he did last time which is his medial ligaments in his knee, it's sad.
"I would think that George will be out for the rest of the season. It's a recurrence of the same injury which is a very big disappointment for us all.
"It was important that we were 3-0 up when he had to come off because we had used all of our substitutions. What a blow it would have been if it had been any different to that.
"George has waited so long to get back and he was so eager to get on. We thought, 'let's give him a little run out now,' and save the legs of the lads who had done so well, but sadly George went down with the same injury."

Goodbye Upton Park: West Ham have fond memories of their famous old home as they prepare to move to the Olympic Stadium

Graced by some of England's finest - from Bobby Moore to Sir Trevor Brooking and modern day internationals like Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick and Jermain Defoe - Upton Park has seen plenty of action.
Well, it's situated near Upton Park tube, but it is actually called the Boleyn Ground and many West Ham supporters will be sad the club is departing for the Olympic Stadium.

But with a capacity of 35,016 and a succession of sell-outs, the club has decided they need a new home and will move to Stratford for the 2016-17 season. Cue jokes from Spurs supporters about sales of season tickets for the new stadium going at 'three for the price of one'.
Supporters always become nostalgic at the prospect of moving, so we thought we would give them something to remember Upton Park by (and there is always next week's home game with West Bromwich to fill them with joy).

Since the first game - a 3-0 win against Millwall in 1904 - it has been West Ham's familiar home, although there has been plenty of recent re-modernisation, with stands named after Moore and Brooking.
This is the review from stadiumguide.com: 'In the early 20th century, West Ham played its home matches at the Memorial Ground in Canning Town, but after a dispute over the rent was forced to look for a new home. They found a bare field used by a Roman Catholic school, and soon reached an agreement with the Catholic authorities for its use.'

The guide goes on: 'West Ham played its first match at Boleyn Ground on the 1st of September 1904. Just over 10,000 spectators saw the home side beat Millwall 3-0.
'Boleyn Ground received its name from a house that stood next to the ground, called Boleyn Castle, and which supposedly had been home to Anne Boleyn. These days Boleyn Ground is more commonly referred to as Upton Park.

'The ground was initially a basic affair, but got soon expanded, first in 1919 with a new East Stand and later in 1925 with a new West Stand and terracing at the short ends. This lifted capacity to about 40,000.
'Boleyn Ground got heavily damaged in the Second World War when it got hit by a V-1 bomb, but was soon rebuilt.

Changing times: The modern Upton Park in 2006

'In 1961 a roof was added to the North Bank, which meant that all stands had cover. The ground underwent its last major change before the 1990s when in 1969 a new East Stand was built.
'The Boleyn Ground recorded its highest attendance of 42,322 during a match with Tottenham Hotspur in 1970.'
In August 1944, a V-1 flying bomb landed on the south-west corner of the pitch and forced the team to play its games away from home while repairs were undertaken. West Ham won all nine games on the road. They will hope for similar success at their new 'home' at the Olympic Stadium.

EL XELSI ENS GUANYA PER 2-0

Era d'esperar que els pijos del Xelsi ens matxacarien. Dignament, però, els hammers hem encaixat un senzill 2-0. Atenció, però, a la taula classificatòria. Hem d'empenyer fort. No les tenim totes. Sort que en el darrer tram es divisa el desembarcament premianenc front tot un Newcastle. Avui hem gaudit del matx al Marina Golden Corner gràcies al Canal+. Mostrem fotos de la gatzara hammer-premianenca.

ELS HAMMERS VAN A BARRACA A STOKE I RECUPEREM EL BON LLOC

A barraca. Els Hammers recuperen una bona posició i assalten Stoke. 0-1 i al sac ben lligat a defensar la categoria del proletariat londinenc.
