KICK-OFF: 7.00PM
iPHONE APP I TWITTER I FACEBOOK I PODCAST I YOUTUBE

Full-time: Thats it. The referee blows his whistle and the young Hammers
have suffered a 2-1 defeat against Luton Town. Two first half goals from
Stevenson did the damage before Turgott pulled one back for the visitors.
The winger was in superb form but missed the chance to equalise from the
penalty spot after Ruddock had been felled in the box. They tried their best
but came up just short against a strong Luton Town side.
90 mins: Free-kick on the halfway line. Spiegel takes Ruddock heads but the
flag is up.
89 mins: Last knockings for the Hammers now and it looks like they may just
come up a little short.
87 mins: Spiegel is down smartly to save from Cullen.
86 mins: Turgott didn't deserve to miss that penalty. The winger has been
the game's outstanding player.
84 mins: Ruddock goes down in the box after Mendy's challenge and a penalty
is given. Turgott steps up and strikes low to the keepers right but Justham
is there to make a good save.
83 mins: I've lost count of how many times poor Maguire has been fouled,
this time Taiwo is the offender.
81 mins: Into the last ten minutes with the Hammers still attacking in
search of that elusive equaliser.
79 mins: Bywater comes onto replace Sadlier.
77 mins: Turgott again skins his man and moves into the box but a tame shot
ends up in the keeper's arms.
75 mins: Tombides drags an effort wide after a defensive mix-up. 15 minutes
to go, big effort needed.
73 mins: Uproar in the stands as Sadlier nudges the ball out of throw but
the referee gives the throw West Ham's way.
71 mins: Sadlier should level the scores with a volley after the ball
ricochets to him in the box. Instead he puts his effort wide of the post.
70 mins: Turgott has a strike which keeps low and nearly catches out Justham
but the keeper is able to hold the ball.
68 mins: Stevenson can't continue and is replaced by Mendy.
66 mins: Spiegel does well to hold a low shot from Robinson.
64 mins: Stevenson is on the turf receiving treatment after a big collision
with Ruddock. A collision which would leave most people needing medical
treatment.
63 mins: Luton deliver a dangerous ball in from a corner and that man
Stevenson should be celebrating a hat-trick but somehow manages to miss the
ball.
62 mins: Whitehead, Makasi, Tombides and Knoyle are on for Nasha, Diarra,
Miles and Fanimo.
61 mins: Haycock is preparing some changes on the touchline with four
players stripped and ready to come on.
59 mins: Turgott again beats a couple of players before winning a corner.
Fanimo takes it short but the defence snuffs it out and clears.
57 mins: Sadlier beautifully turns Pisani who charges in and fouls the
winger. Shaw delivers and Maguire works a shot but Justham is able to save
low to his right.
55 mins: Cullen recieves the ball on the edge of the box and turns to set-up
Robinson who side foots over the bar.
53 mins: Pisani delivers a deep cross for Cullen who's header is wide of the
target.
51 mins GOAL: Turgott taps home! Maguire plays in Sadlier whose cross isn't
dealt with and Turgott is there to tap home. Game on!
50 mins: He whips a good looking ball in but Robinson gets up to head clear.
49 mins: Fanimo plays in Turgott who is able to win a corner. Fanimo
delivers, Justham punches back to him, Fanimo wins a corner.
47 mins: Maguire again bought down and wins a free-kick on the right-hand
touchline. The ball whipped in by Fanimo but it's over everyone.
46 mins: We're back underway for the second half with the Hammers needing to
find their shooting boots to turn this one around. Frazer Shaw is on
McCartney for the visitors with Viana on for O'Donell.
Half-time: That close shave was the last action of a very even first half as
Luton take a two goal lead into the break. Stevenson opened the scoring
against the run of play after 16 minutes before he doubled the lead with a
brilliant strike after half an hour. Turgott and Fanimo have been the bright
sparks for the Hammers on a so far disappointing night.
45 mins: Ruddock plays a long ball and Sadlier is in down the line. He gets
to the byline and delivers a cross which is deflected by Parry and onto the
post with Justham just about able to stop the ball crossing the line! Close!
43 mins: Maguire is again the victim of a hefty tackle and wins a free-kick.
Sadlier shoots from miles out and fires it straight into the midrift of a
Luton player. On a cold night like this that's gonna hurt.
42 mins: Fanimo finds space for another attempt from range, he hits it well
but over the top it goes.
40 mins: Turgott wins a corner. Fanimo delivers but scuffs it low and it's
hoofed to safety.
38 mins: Potts has the ball in the net but his header is ruled out for
offside.
37 mins: Fanimo, fresh from an excellent goal against Chelsea last Friday,
tries his luck from distance with a thunderous drive forcing Justham into
evasive action.
35 mins: Luton cannot handle Turgott tonight. The winger has been a great
outlet for his team and they need to find him more often.
34 mins: O'Donnell limps away from a challenge with Nasha as some rowdy fans
appeal for a card. No chance.
32 mins: The Hammers have a corner after Fanimo's free-kick is deflected out
of play. Ball in is a poor one and easily cleared.
30 mins GOAL: From Justham's clearance Robinson controls the ball and feeds
Stevenson who hits a beauty of a shot past Spiegel and into the corner of
the net.
29 mins: Sadlier delivers the resulting free-kick but it's too close to
Justham and he easily collects.
28 mins: Fanimo plays the ball down the left for Maguire who knocks it past
Longden before the full-back brings him down with a hard sliding tackle.
27 mins: The game is turning into a midfield battle with both sides keen to
impress their stamp on the game.
25 mins: Great work by Fanimo as he beats three before trying to play in
Turgott, his pass is intercepted however.
23 mins: Robinson chips the ball over to Cullen who turns and fires his shot
off Diarra and out for a corner. Maduako gets his head to the corner but
Ruddock clears.
21 mins: The corner goes to the near post and appears to hit Sadlier before
hitting the post and going wide. The resulting corner is over-hit and goes
out of play.
20 mins: Miles gives the ball away and Ahoua drives towards the box before a
deflected shot goes wide. Corner.
18 mins: That was the ultimate sucker punch from the home side who've been
on the back foot for most of this game.
16 mins GOAL: A ball over the top isn't dealt with by Ruddock and Robinson
tees up Stevenson who buries a side footed shot past Spiegel from the edge
of the box.
15 mins: Miles feeds Maguire in the left-hand channel. The Irishman turns it
inside to Turgott who fires left-footed over the bar.
14 mins: Cullen has Luton's first attempt, striking first time as the ball
rolled loose. His effort was however straight at Spiegel.
13 mins: Turgott is involved again, this time picking the ball up on the
halfway line, turning his man and gliding past two more before firing a shot
just wide of the post.
11 mins: Fanimo swings the ball out to thr right for Turgott to run onto.
This time his cross finds Sadlier but the winger can only mis-kick the ball.
9 mins: Turgott's looking a threat early on, this time he beats three
players before delivering a low cross from the right which is easily
cleared.
7 mins: Turgott finds himself with a shooting opportunity in the box. He
drives hard from a tight angle but hits it straight at the keeper.
5 mins: Diarra is crowded out in the middle of the park and Stevenson
decides to try his luck but pulls his shot well wide.
4 mins: Indeed Wall is replaced, Ahoua comes striding on in his place.
3 mins: It looks like the home side may be forced into an extremely early
change as Alex Wall pulls up after chasing a loose ball. Looks like the
hamstring.
2 mins: Turgott plays it wide down the right for Miles to chase, he gets
there and delivers a low cross but it's easily cleared.
1 min: The Hammers kick us off and are immediately looking to attack down
the left.
6:57pm: The teams are out on the pitch and the Hammers are sporting their
home shirts with change shorts and socks whilst the Hatters sport orange
tops, blue shorts and white socks.
6:55pm: Around five minutes left until kick-off and it's time for me to
remove my gloves and brace the cold! Nick Haycock also well wrapped up heads
across the pitch and into his dugout.
6:50pm: The teams are back in the changing rooms making their final
preperations for this game on a brisk night at Kenilworth Road.
The Development Squad face Luton Town at Kenilworth Road tonight looking to
hand game time to a mix of players during their break in Barclays Under-21
Premier League fixtures. The team are currently top of the league having won
six of their opening nine matches but are not in action again until the 29
November when they face Leicester City at Rush Green. With that in mind Nick
Haycock will hand valuable minutes to his fringe players as well as welcomng
first teamers George McCartney and Alou Diarra into the team as they step-up
their recovery from injury.
Haycock will also take the opportunity to look at several of Steve Potts'
Under-18s against a team who will provide tough opposition. Luton were the
visitors to Rush Green in a behind closed doors friendly just over a month
ago when they produced a strong performance to win 1-0. Sean Maguire will be
handed a chance to impress as the lone front man whilst U18s Kyle Knoyle,
Amos Nasha, Josh Cullen, Moses Makasi and Kieran Bywater will all be keen to
show they can make the step-up.
West Ham United: Spiegel, Nasha, Ruddock, Potts, McCartney, Diarra, Miles,
Fanimo, Turgott, Sadlier, Maguire
Subs: Knoyle, Howes, Shaw, Tombides, Burke, Bywater, Cullen, Whitehead,
Makasi
Luton Town: Justham, Pisani, Longden, Maduako, Parry, Stevenson, Taiwo,
Cullen, Wall, O'Donell, Robinson
Subs: King, Martin, Viana, Mendy, Ahoua, Mbala

Reid set for World Cup showdown
WHUFC.com
Winston Reid will captain New Zealand in their World Cup Play-Off later this
month
05.11.2013

Winston Reid has been named in the New Zealand squad for their 2014 FIFA
World Cup Inter-Confederation Play-Off with Mexico. The All Whites take on
the fourth-placed CONCACAF qualifiers for a place in next summer's
tournament in Brazil, with Ricki Herbert's men looking to make a second
successive World Cup finals. They will travel to Mexico City for the first
leg on Wednesday 13 November, with the second leg taking place in Wellington
a week later. New Zealand have made it to this stage by finishing top of the
OFC (Oceania) qualifying phase, while Mexico struggled en route to a fourth
place finish in their North, Central American and Caribbean section. The New
Zealand squad includes two other English-based players in the shape of
Leicester City striker Chris Wood and Ipswich Town defender Tommy Smith. All
Whites skipper Reid said: "It's going to be difficult against Mexico because
they've been to a lot of World Cups and we have only been to two. We're
going to go there for the first leg and hopefully we can get a result, then
take them back to New Zealand and do the business there. "Mexico had a tough
time in qualifying, but they are still going to be a good side and we're
going to have to be up for it, give 110 per cent and see how far it takes
us. "We play them at the Azteca Stadium, which is going to be good and
exciting to play there, but the most important thing is for us to get to the
World Cup. We play the first leg away from home, but we'll have to wait and
see if that's an advantage. Either way, it's going to be tough."

Downing looks for killer instinct
WHUFC.com
Stewart Downing admitted the Hammers need to be more ruthless after a 0-0
draw with Aston Villa
05.11.2013

Stewart Downing was left with mixed emotions after West Ham United were held
to a 0-0 draw by Aston Villa at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday. The former
Villa man was pleased with another solid display from the Hammers, yet
disappointed that they could not force the breakthrough at the other end. It
meant that a sixth clean sheet of the season did not yield the full reward
it could have, but Downing is confident Sam Allardyce's men will soon start
to fire. "The good thing is we didn't lose the game, we got another point
out of it and kept a clean sheet," he said. "We got a lot of balls into the
box, but they are good headers of the ball and we didn't get the luck with
how they dropped. "Carlton Cole is getting fully fit, Joe Cole was back on
Saturday, the bodies are coming back in terms of the attacking players.
We're defending well and we just need to put the ball in the back of the
net. "We created chances, but we didn't have that clinical touch in
finishing them. The goals have got to come from around the team, and
hopefully that'll happen for us next week. "We'll keep plugging away - we're
playing well but not getting the rewards."

On a personal note Downing is loving life at the Boleyn Ground and cannot
wait for Saturday's fixture at Norwich City. He added: "I'm really enjoying
my football. There was a little bit of an injury at the start, but I'm happy
and it has been a good move for me. "The manager is great to play for and
the only thing missing is getting a few wins."

U18s left-back Lewis Page says team spirit is playing an important role in
West Ham United's recent success
05.11.2013

West Ham United U18s left-back Lewis Page says a trip to a theme park has
helped end the Hammers' rollercoaster start to the season. The Academy
youngsters enjoyed a day out at Thorpe Park recently - a trip that has
coincided with a six-match unbeaten run culminating in Saturday's 1-1 home
draw with Newcastle United. Page, who has started ten of West Ham's eleven
Barclays U18 Premier League matches so far, said the good relationship
between the players has fostered a positive atmosphere on and off the pitch.
"We have a really good team chemistry at the club," said the 17-year-old.
"We all socialise together. For example we all went to Thorpe Park, which
was a nice group day out. "Around the training ground it's nice to see
everyone get along and that shows on the pitch when we work hard for each
other."

On Saturday, the Hammers continued their unbeaten run by drawing with a
Newcastle side reduced to ten men before half-time. While Page and company
were disappointed not to win, the defender said it was important that they
did not suffer a first defeat since going down 1-0 at Sunderland on 21
September.
"The result [against Newcastle] wasn't bad because, at the end of the day,
we didn't lose. The early sending off killed the game because they just sat
off and made it hard for us to break through. At times we did it well and at
times we didn't. "Perhaps there were a few chances where we could have done
a better job in front of goal and won the game, but overall, I think we were
unlucky to come away with just a draw."

A number of U18s have already tasted Development Squad action this season,
including Saturday's goalscorer Amos Nasha, and Page is hoping to graduate
to the U21s himself. However, with Dan Potts and Frazer Shaw ahead of him,
the left-back may have to be patient. "Personally, I think I've improved
since the start of the season. I've been trying to improve on my attacking
game like crossing and finishing. I'd like to start scoring more goals. I've
already got one this season but I'd like to add to that. "Of course I'm
always looking up at the Development Squad. There are not many players in my
position who are out on loan at the minute, so they are playing really well
here and it's hard to break into the team. I'd love to push on if I can.
"I'm looking towards Christmas or just after that to try and make it onto
the bench or perhaps even come on. It's the whole experience of being part
of the Development Squad, not just how long you play on the pitch."

The U18s will be looking to continue their impressive run of form when they
host Aston Villa at Little Heath on Saturday 9 November, with kick off at
1pm. Parking and admission are both free of charge.

New 'perks' welcomed by fans
KUMB.com
Filed: Tuesday, 5th November 2013
By: Staff Writer

West Ham United's announcement of further benefits for Season Ticket Holders
have been welcomed by supporters. Last weekend the Club confirmed that a
string of new benefits were being introduced, including a fans' forum
featuring David Gold, Sam Allardyce and captain Kevin Nolan; a further event
later in the season featuring Andy Carroll, Mark Noble and Joe Cole; an open
training session; significant discounts on in-store goods; a complimentary
DVD of West Ham's recent 3-0 win at Tottenham and an invitation to attend
next season's first team photoshoot.

Not surprisingly these measures have been welcomed by Season Ticket Holders,
one of whom, KUMB member West Ham Tom, said: "It's really good news and a
nice touch" - thoughts echoed by Kialos, who added, "This is good by the
club, it's a step in the right direction."

However one or two more cynical fans believe that the Club have only acted
in response to criticism that Season Ticket Holders have been given a rough
ride in the last two or three years.

" I think this kind of thing is what they should have been doing as a matter
of course," said Denbighhammer - "not a hastily-cobbled together programme
of exclusives in the wake of a couple of quite serious slaps in the face for
Season Ticket Holders recently."

Why we need independent representation
KUMb.com
Filed: Tuesday, 5th November 2013
By: Ali Worth

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to recent posts on the
KUMB.com forum.

Firstly, I am not a group; just an individual life-long Hammers fan who
happens to write for Over Land and Sea (OLAS), is a Season Ticket Holder
and, also, currently a member of the Supporter Advisory Board (SAB).

I started looking into establishing an Independent Supporter Association at
last year's Annual General Meeting of the Football Supporter's Federation -
of which I am a full member - as all the conversations I was having with
fellow West Ham United fans were the same. They felt increasingly alienated
from our wonderful Club for a multitude of reasons.

One of the main reasons for disillusionment that I kept hearing was that
fans felt they were not being listened to. As an SAB member, I do not feel
they are representative enough of the wider fan base and many feel that
their lack of independence hinders the workings and ultimate effectiveness
of the group.

However, I feel that to ensure ALL fans are given a voice there is
absolutely no conflict in having the two groups co-exist and would hope that
the aims of both groups would correspond; to work for the best interests of
the fans and the Club.

The aims of an ISA should, amongst others, be to represent and campaign on
behalf of its members; to help increase the ways in which WHU FC fans can
express their affiliation to, and support of, the Club and to open and
maintain positive and productive channels of communication with the Board.

Of equal import is giving a voice to those who would otherwise be excluded
from any decision or consultation processes.

At the inaugural meeting on the 28th November in the Supporters Club (7pm
for a 7:30pm start), the fans who attend - or who cannot attend but have
emailed consent - will vote on whether the group is established and what
form the Constitution takes.

The draft copies are now available and I would ask that you all request one
from whisa@btinternet.com if you have not already done so, or download them
from the links below. These are meant as starting points only and have been
drafted with FSF guidance, as well as extremely helpful advice and support
from several other ISA's, including the Arsenal Independent Supporters'
Association).

For WHISA to succeed it HAS to be all inclusive and to cover ALL subjects
that affect us as fans. I would like to state in the strongest possible
terms however that this is NOT an anti-OS campaign, although that will
obviously fall under the group's remit, and the only criteria for joining
should be that you bleed Claret and Blue and have the best interests of our
Club at heart.

I look forward to meeting everyone on the 28th November.

Defoe's 'massive mistake'
KUMb.com
Filed: Tuesday, 5th November 2013
By: Staff Writer

Jermain Defoe has admitted that leaving West Ham in 2003 was "a massive,
massive mistake". The Tottenham striker, who coincidentally happens to be
searching for a new club having fallen down the pecking order at White Hart
Lane told a TV programme that the manner in which he left the Boleyn Ground
was the result of bad advice from his agent at the time. "It was a massive
mistake. I didn't really want to do it," he told ITV4's Sports Life Stories.
"We're talking about leaving the club I was in love with at the time because
I came through the youth system with my friends, the fans loved me there.
They were brilliant - every game they sang my name. "The person who
represented me at the time said, 'You need to hand in a transfer request and
get in early because all the lads are going to leave.' I remember going in
and I was so nervous. It was (Chief Executive) Paul Aldridge and I gave him
the letter and he said, 'What's this?' I said, 'It's a transfer request'.
And he looked at me as if to say, 'Are you kidding?' "The backlash was
crazy. I felt like I was on my own and people were absolutely abusing me. To
this day I can imagine West Ham fans look at me and think, 'Who does he
think he is? How can you do that? You're a Judas'. And it's quite sad really
because I can honestly say I still love that club."

Defoe's transfer request, which was handed in less than 24 hours after West
Ham were relegated from the Premier League read: "I am very ambitious and
hungry to achieve at the highest levels of the game for both club and
country. "The club staff and especially the fans are very dear to me and
have been unbelievable in the early part of my career. It will always be a
special place for me to play." Defoe previously apologised for the manner in
which he left the club seven years ago, when he stated, 'I was young, badly
advised and made a mistake. I didn't have enough experience to deal with
what I was being told'.

Brown shells out
KUMB.com
Filed: Tuesday, 5th November 2013
By: Staff Writer

Terry Brown has finally sanctioned major financial investment into a
football club - seven years after he made millions from the sale of West Ham
United FC.

Lifelong Hammers fan Brown, who was Chairman of the club for some 15 years
until selling to the Icelandic consortium of Eggert Magnusson and Bjorgolfur
Gudmundsson in 2006 was a figure of hate for many West Ham fans, who blamed
him - amongst other things - for selling the Club's best young players,
increasing his own personal stake via a compulsory 'buy back' share scheme
and consistently failing to invest in the squad.

For those fans, the news that he has lent troubled League One club Sheffield
Wednesday £1.5million will be a case of rubbing salt in the wounds - but
that's precisely what happened last year, according to the club's annual
accounts.

According to Inside Media, Brown's loan is secured over the club's
Hillsborough stadium. It is thought the deal came about as the result of
Brown's friendship with Chairman Milan Mandaric and Paul Aldridge, a
Director at Wednesday who worked under Brown as West Ham's former Managing
Director.

Brown, who still regularly attends West Ham's matches - as he has done week
in, week out for many years - currently holds a position of Honourary Life
President at the Club.

Having initially been granted the role by his Icelandic successors as a
condition of the sale of West Ham, he resigned in February 2007 after it was
revealed that Eggert Magnusson planned to take legal action again him
following the Tevez scandal. In 2010, David Gold and David Sullivan
reinstated Brown as Honourary Life President.

Former MD Paul Aldridge - a rather more popular figure with supporters than
his employer - left West Ham shortly after the Icelandic takeover due, it is
believed, to his close links with Kia Joorabchian who was a main rival to
Eggert Magnusson when West Ham was made available for sale in 2006.

Since then he has been employed by Leicester City (as Chief Executive,
Janury 2008) - alongside Mandaric, who owned Leicester at the time - and
Manchester City (Chief Operating Officer, June 2008) before he teamed up
with Mandaric once again at Wednesday. Aldridge was initially employed as a
consultant to assist in the purchase of the League One club before being
made Chief Executive and Vice Chairman in 2011.


Brown Out! What it took for Terence to go

* The sale of West Ham United (Brown's 36 per cent stake earnt him circa
£30million profit)

* The retention of his £592,000 Chairman's salary for the next three years

* The creation of a new role: Honourary Life President

* Eight seats in the Directors' box (West Stand)

* Eight hospitality spots in the Chairman's suite - for life

STRIKER INJURY UPDATE
By Sean Whetstone 5 Nov 2013 at 17:00
West Ham Till I Die

If like me you were wondering what has happened to Mladen Petric, I
understand he has suffered a calf injury while warming up in the West Ham
Development U21 match against Wolves U21 on 21st October. He is unlikely to
return to full fitness until the end of November.

Ricardo Vaz Te is out with a dislocated shoulder he sustained at the Swansea
away match. Although no estimate has been given for his return he suffered
similar injury last season in the home defeat to Arsenal that kept him out
for three months.

The latest news today is Andy Carroll has suffered a new setback with a
stomach virus. It was hoped Carroll would return for the Chelsea home game
on November 23rd but that now looks in doubt as the virus has delayed his
training back to full fitness. I understand he is possibly targeting a
return against his old club on 7th December.

However in more positive injury news Alou Diarra returns from injury by
playing in the Development U21 team this evening at 7pm against Luton U21's
at Kenilworth Road. George McCartney will also playing along side him.

Andy Carroll suffers fresh injury setback in blow for West Ham United
5 Nov 2013 11:21
The Mirror

West Ham United's record signing Andy Carroll has been handed a fresh blow
in his attempts to return to fitness. The England striker has yet to feature
for the Hammers this season, having turned a loan deal into a £15 million
permanent signing during the summer, with successive heel problems keeping
him on the sidelines since May. And the 24-year-old, who was thought to be
targetting a long-awaited comeback against Chelsea later this month for Sam
Allardyce's goal-shy side, has been forced to scale back his rehabilitation
plans after suffering a viral infection in his stomach last week. A club
insider told The Sun: "Andy is very depressed about the whole thing. "He is
improving but he has had stabbing pains in his abdomen for the past four or
five days and an extreme stomach upset. "It's a cruel blow as he had been
making steady progress."

The former Liverpool and Newcastle target-man picked up a knock against
Reading in the final game of last season, though West Ham decided to turn
his loan move permanent anyway. He then went down with a new heel injury
just days away from his supposed comeback in September and has since visited
top specialists in both Holland and Belgium in a bid to speed up his
recovery. In Carroll's absence West Ham have failed to score in six of their
10 Premier League games so far this season.
