Big Sam on: Everton
WHUFC.com
The manager has held his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's game
at Everton
20.11.2014

West Ham United return to action at Everton on Saturday following the
international break - and manager Sam Allardyce will wait on the fitness of
a couple of his players who featured for their countries. Both Stewart
Downing and Diafra Sakho have arrived back at Chadwell Heath nursing
injuries following their exertions for England and Senegal respectively. The
manager spoke to the media ahead of Saturday's game at Everton and updated
them on the injury status.

Diafra Sakho couldn't play for Senegal on Wednesday because of back pain, is
he ok for the game against Everton?

SA: "We don't know yet. He only got back last night so haven't had time to
assess him yet. We'll be looking at him today and make a decision soon.
Obviously we don't have too much time before the Everton game on Saturday so
it'll be touch and go. "It's a problem every manager faces after
international duty. Stewart Downing came off at half time with a knee
problem as well so we have to monitor that one too. They're both two players
that have been in top form for us. Sakho's goals and Downing's performances
are two of the reasons why we're fourth at the moment. "We need to be very
careful with both players because we don't want to take any risks with their
long term fitness. If they play on Saturday and aggravate the injury they
could be out for two or three weeks which would mean missing five or six
games and
we can't afford that. We have a hard enough task as it is and a tough run of
games coming."

If Sakho doesn't play, you've had two weeks to work on Andy's fitness, is he
ready to start?

SA: "I wouldn't say he's 100% match fit but he is ready to start. He's
raring to go as is Carlton Cole so we've got very good options up front. We
don't have much time to work together for Saturday but that's the situation
we're in, same as Everton. We'll work on a few things today and tomorrow and
then make a decision."

Do you think Stewart Downing blew his chance against Scotland?

SA: "No I don't think so. He had an injury in the first half which
restricted his movement. I watched the game and I didn't see him do anything
wrong. I know people have criticised his performance but I thought he did
OK. He certainly hasn't blown his chances of further international call
ups."

What's the situation with Winston Reid's contract at the moment?

SA: "It's an ongoing negotiation at the moment. We want him to stay at the
club, he's a great player who has done fantastically well for us. The
Chairmen will notify whenever an outcome, either way, has been reached. Like
everything these days it's probably down to money."

Roberto Martinez has said West Ham are one of the contenders for a European
place, what do you make of that?

SA: "We've made a good start in that direction but there is a long, long way
still to go. I think it's a huge ask which is probably just ahead of us at
the moment. Had we got three points against Aston Villa, which we should
have done, then maybe but I think that was a game that if we really are
going to push for Europe then we would have won that game.
"We have a vital part of the season coming up. November and December is a
tough time and it will determine where we finish. There isn't an
international break for a long time so we don't have an opportunity to
regroup if necessary so it will be a big test for us."

Given how well you've started the season, have your targets changed?

SA: "Not really, no. We want to finish higher than tenth, that has been our
aim all along. At the moment we are capable of doing more than that, it's
just of question of maintaining it over a season. Like a said we have the
chances and opportunities to score against Villa and we didn't take them
which was very disappointing. Hopefully we'll put that right on Saturday."

What have made of Everton so far this season, a little bit inconsistent?

SA: "Roberto like a lot of us has suffered more injuries than they did last
season. So he's had to change around the team a bit, he hasn't had many
opportunities to pick his strongest eleven yet. But they've consistently
been at this level for long, long time. First under David Moyes and now with
Roberto. They've had a legacy of getting into Europe, there's a history of
that having a negative effect in following games but I think it's better to
be in Europe than not."

Are Everton the benchmark for a club like West Ham?

SA: "I think sustainable growth is massively important. When David Moyes
took over they were a relegation threatened side but they've grown over the
years and are now one of the best teams in the league. They've been in
contention for Europe and a cup for a number of years now. They've also done
well with limited funds, they haven't spent millions and millions. To be
able to buy better players year-on-year with a limited budget is very
impressive."

Were you surprised David Moyes took the Real Sociedad job?

SA: "No not really I think it's a good move for him. To get out of the
country for a while and get back into the groove of managing. As long as
it's a stable club that supports him I think it's a good challenge. He's a
very good manager and I'm sure he'll be a success out there."

Carroll - 'It's great to be back'
WHUFC.com
Now Andy Carroll wants more after using the international break productively
19.11.2014

Andy Carroll is looking forward to playing a fuller role with the Hammers
after stepping up his comeback over the international break.
The No9 featured in a behind closed doors match against Fulham over that
period, after making his competitive return in the closing stages of the 0-0
draw with Aston Villa on 8 November. With a trip to Everton now on the
horizon, Carroll is determined to keep his forward momentum going. "It's
great to be back," he explained. "It's been a while being out and I'm just
getting my fitness back up. Getting 90 minutes against Fulham was great and
obviously getting my first appearance for a while against Villa the previous
weekend was even better.
"I thought we were really unlucky [to only get a point against Villa], it
was a great save from the keeper, but I put myself about in the last three
minutes and got a couple on target, which possibly could have gone in. "I'm
feeling really good. I've worked a lot with the medical staff and they've
got me fighting fit and I'm feeling great. Obviously to train for a few
weeks, get on as a sub and to then play 90 minutes just proves that I'm
feeling good."

Not only did Carroll play 90 minutes against Fulham, he also got on the
scoresheet and he cannot wait to experience that feeling in the Barclays
Premier League once more. He added: "It's still nice to score, even though
there were no fans there. It's nice to get the 90 minute run-out and get a
few touches of the ball that you don't really get in training and a few
kicks that the lads don't do in training either, so it's good to be back and
good to get on the pitch and get a goal. "That's what I'm hoping for - [more
minutes at Everton] - Obviously we've been flying at the minute, we've been
doing great and all you can do is fight for your place. That's what I'm
doing in training and hopefully the gaffer puts us on for a few more minutes
and let's see what happens. "It's tough to displace anyone in the team,
anyone that's been playing, not just Sakho and Valencia. We've been playing
fantastic football, we've been scoring goals and creating a lot of chances
with all the players in the squad. So it's going to be a fight for everyone
to get back in."

Cheikhou confident of AFCON success
WHUFC.com
Cheikhou Kouyate is targeting Senegal's maiden Africa Cup of Nations title
20.11.2014

Cheikhou Kouyate is targeting Africa Cup of Nations glory after helping
Senegal complete their qualification campaign in style. The West Ham United
midfielder was part of the Lions of Teranga side which defeated Botswana 3-0
in Dakar on Wednesday to finish second in Group G behind Tunisia. Senegal
are one of 15 teams who will join hosts Equatorial Guinea at the continent's
premier international tournament in January, and Kouyate believes the West
African country can win it for the first time in their history. With players
such as Kouyate's Hammers team-mate Diafra Sakho, Newcastle United forward
Papiss Cisse, Southampton striker Sadio Mane and Hull City's former West Ham
midfielder Mohamed Diame, his optimism is well-placed. However, the No8 did
temper his confidence by pointing out that he is one of just a handful of
players who featured at the tournament the last time Senegal qualified in
2012. "It's a new generation that goes to the Africa Cup of Nations," he
said following Wednesday's win. "Among us, there are four players who have
experienced the tournament, but we're going there with a goal of revenge and
try to win something. "Now everyone will go home and try to prepare for the
Africa Cup of Nations. We have two months before the start of the
competition and we will go to try to win the cup."
The tournament, which will run from 17 January to 8 February 2015, was
originally due to be hosted by Morocco, but was recently moved to Equatorial
Guinea due to the Ebola crisis affecting some parts of West Africa. Senegal
face a stiff challenge if they are to win the competition, with nine
previous winners among the 16-nation field, including four-times champions
Cameroon and Ghana, 2012 winners Zambia and North African football
powerhouses Algeria and Tunisia. Burkina Faso, who finished as runners-up at
the last tournament in 2013, will also be present. Defending champions
Nigeria failed to qualify after drawing 2-2 with 1996 winners South Africa
in their final group game. The 2010 FIFA World Cup winners finished top of
their group and will line up alongside fellow qualifiers Cape Verde, Gabon,
Ivory Coast, Guinea, Mali, Congo and DR Congo. Among the other current and
former West Ham players who could feature are Alex Song (Cameroon), Modibo
Maiga (Mali) and Demba Ba (Senegal).

John Hartson: Kicking Eyal Berkovic 'biggest regret of career'
BBC.co.uk

John Hartson has admitted kicking West Ham team-mate Eyal Berkovic in the
head in a 1998 training-ground incident is the biggest regret of his career.
The former Wales striker, 39, told BBC Radio 5 live's Inside the Dressing
Room programme that he was ashamed of the incident.
Hartson was fined by West Ham and the Football Association after the
assault, which was filmed by a television crew. "I brought a lot of
embarrassment on my family, I felt ashamed," he said. Hartson, who played
more than 500 games for eight different clubs during a 15-year career,
retired in 2007 with more than 200 goals to his name. He was diagnosed with
testicular cancer in 2009 and underwent emergency surgery after doctors
discovered tumours in his brain and lungs. He is currently in remission.
Hartson has also fought a long battle with a gambling addiction.

Speaking in depth for the first time about the incident with former Israel
international Berkovic, Hartson said he was "constantly reminded" of the
incident. "Even today it is the biggest regret of my career," he said. "I
was 20 years of age. I was very boisterous, probably a little bit angry. I'd
left Arsenal in 1997 and they went on to win the double in 1998. "Eyal
Berkovic was a good lad and to this day I don't know why I reacted the way I
did. It was nothing personal against Eyal. It could have been anyone of the
players on the training ground that day." The incident was caught on video
by a camera crew and the clip was shown on TV news programmes and made
headlines in the national newspapers. John Hartson scored 14 goals in 51
games for Wales - this one against Azerbaijan in November 2002
"The aftermath of it was horrendous," Hartson added. "I was front page of
every national newspaper across the globe, I was on the News at Ten with
Trevor McDonald, there were newspapers knocking my mum and dad's door down
in Wales. "I've recovered from that, I've gone on and I've scored goals and
I've set up the charity doing good things now, but that always went before
me. "It was a massive incident in my life. I'm over it and it happens. I was
young."

Having signed for West Ham for £3.2m in 1997, Hartson was sold to Wimbledon
in January 1999 for £7.5m and went on to score more than 100 goals during
five seasons at Celtic. He added that he has since made up with Berkovic.

Allardyce: Reid decision 'down to money'
KUMB.com
Filed: Thursday, 20th November 2014
By: Staff Writer

Sam Allardyce believes that Winston Reid's decision not to sign a new
contract with West Ham is a financial one. Despite having been offered the
opportunity to extend his current contract, which expires next summer, Kiwi
Reid has thus far refused to put pen to paper.
And whilst few will admit it, it is a commonly-held view within the club
that the 26-year-old is on his way out - even if Allardyce has refused to
give up hope of keeping the centre half beyond his current four-year deal.
"It's an ongoing negotiation at the moment," the manager told the press this
morning. "We want him to stay at the club, he's a great player who has done
fantastically well for us. "The Chairmen will notify whenever an outcome,
either way, has been reached. Like everything these days it's probably down
to money."

With Reid steadfastly refusing to extend his contract at the club, West Ham
have the choice of cashing in during the January transfer window or waiting
until the summer and losing the player on a free transfer. The New Zealand
international continues to be linked with clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester
United and Liverpool, despite West Ham's co-owner David Gold insisting this
week that the club were not "getting rid" of the player.

Sakho and Downing doubtful, says Allardyce
KUMB.com
Filed: Thursday, 20th November 2014
By: Staff Writer

West Ham's international duo of Diafra Sakho and Stewart Downing are both
doubtful for this weekend's trip to Everton after returning from
international duty with injuries. As revealed here on KUMB last night, Sakho
pulled out of Senegal's 3-0 win over Botswana after sustaining a back
strain. Meanwhile Downing, who played 45 minutes for England in the 3-1
friendly win against Scotland has also returned with a knock. That, says
Allardyce, could mean West Ham are without both for the trip to Goodison
Park this weekend. "It's a problem every manager faces after international
duty," bemoaned the Hammers boss at his pre-match press conference this
morning. "We'll be looking at him [Sakho] today and make a decision soon.
Stewart Downing came off at half time with a knee problem as well so we have
to monitor that one. They're both two players that have been in top form for
us. Sakho's goals and Downing's performances are two of the reasons why

they play on Saturday and aggravate the injury they could be out for two or
three weeks which would mean missing five or six games and we can't afford
that. We have a hard enough task as it is and a tough run of games coming."

However one man's misfortune is another's good news - and Allardyce revealed
that should he be needed, Andy Carroll, who made his return to the first
team against Aston Villa the weekend before last is ready to step up to the
plate. "I wouldn't say he's 100 per cent match fit but he is ready to
start," confirmed Big Sam. "He's raring to go, as is Carlton Cole, so we've
got very good options up front. We don't have much time to work together for
Saturday but that's the situation we're in, same as Everton. We'll work on a
few things today and tomorrow and then make a decision."

Stewart Downing and Diafra Sakho concerning West Ham
Last Updated: 20/11/14 3:27pm
SSN

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is sweating over the fitness of international
pair Stewart Downing and Diafra Sakho ahead of Saturday's trip to Everton.
Downing suffered a knee problem and was withdrawn at half-time in England's
3-1 friendly victory over Scotland at Celtic Park on Tuesday night. Sakho
missed Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations victory over Botswana on Wednesday
due to injury and Allardyce said: "Obviously we don't have too much time
before the Everton game on Saturday so it'll be touch and go. It's a problem
every manager faces after international duty. "Stewart Downing came off at
half time with a knee problem as well so we have to monitor that one too.
They're two players that have been in top form for us. Sakho's goals and
Downing's performances are two of the reasons we're fourth at the moment.

"We need to be very careful with both players because we don't want to take
any risks with their long-term fitness." If in-form striker Sakho misses
out, England forward Andy Carroll could be in line for a first Premier
League start this term and Allardyce added: "I wouldn't say he's 100% match
fit but he is ready to start.

Good options

"He's raring to go as is Carlton Cole so we've got very good options up
front. We don't have much time to work together for Saturday but that's the
situation we're in, same as Everton." Recent rumours have been circling the
Boleyn Ground of possible interest from Manchester United and Arsenal in
Hammers New Zealand centre-half Winston Reid. "We have a vital part of the
season coming up. November and December is a tough time and it will
determine where we finish." The 26-year-old's contract is up at the end of
the season and Allardyce said: "It's an ongoing negotiation at the moment.
We want him to stay at the club, he's a great player who has done
fantastically well for us.
"The chairmen will notify whenever an outcome, either way, has been reached.
Like everything these days it's probably down to money."


Sam Allardyce says he could be without both Stewart Downing and Diafra Sakho
for West Ham's trip to Everton. But Allardyce is determined that rumours
over Reid will not deflect attention from the squad building on their best
start to a campaign since 1983/84. He said: "We have a vital part of the
season coming up. November and December is a tough time and it will
determine where we finish. There isn't an international break for a long
time so we don't have an opportunity to regroup if necessary so it will be a
big test for us. "Roberto Martinez like a lot of us has suffered more
injuries than they did last season. So he's had to change around the team a

games but I think it's better to be in Europe than not."

LEGEND....WAIT FOR IT....ARY!!
By Bianca Westwood 20 Nov 2014 at 08:00
West Ham Till I Die

I've never really done the whole obsessive fangirl thing. I never really
understood it. I just don't get why people (especially adults) want to wait
for hours outside training grounds for a few seconds of seeing their
favourite player zoom by behind blacked-out windows, or camp out in
Leicester Square for tiny glimpses of a movie star, or, like my mates at
school, bunk off to sit outside HMV all day in the hope that Luke or Matt
Goss from Bros (nobody really fancied the other one) might smile at them. If
I was a tween now I wouldn't be a One Directioner, or one of Gaga's Monsters
or a member of the RihannaNavy. No chance!

Of course you know I'm a lifelong, fully-fledged, paid-up Hammer. So I am a
superfan of sorts. Just not an overzealous one. I had my moments as a kid
where I acted out my fandom in the expected ways, some weird and hugely
cringe-worthy (I've already explained to you the Mark Ward bathroom suite
story), some not-so-much. I did once get the tube to Oxford Street when I
was a wee whippersnapper to see Stewart Robson at his book-signing in Top
Man. Yes, really. As you can imagine my friend Michelle and I were the only
little girls there. We patiently queued with the other assorted fans (there
weren't too many if I remember rightly), our bits of paper for him to sign
clutched in our tiny sweaty palms (we couldn't afford the book) and we even
asked him for a kiss! How brazen! What he must have thought of us I don't
know and I've never met him since. I'm blushing just thinking about it!

So apart from that, and the time I told Frank McAvennie I loved him after
running on the pitch on the final day one season (I was a kid ok?!) that's
been the extent of my extreme-fan activities. Since I started working in
broadcasting though I've been surrounded by famous faces, big names,
"legends of the game". I'm not bragging it's a fact. I suppose I am used to
seeing these people milling around Sky HQ so I don't really get star struck
anymore. I am extremely fortunate to do what I do and I love my job, but
after spending years interviewing Premier League stars and their managers,
it is now less of an event, and more, just that, my job.

Over the years I may have been a little tongue-tied or over-awed by a
certain someone or situation. Post match environments are always a
challenge. Especially when facing the losing manager. You're stuffed in some
minuscule TV room, usually window-less and fresh air-free, hot, bothered and
awaiting the imminent arrival of an unhappy and often irate man. It's a
lesson in eggshell-walking at times and it's difficult to master. I really
admire reporters who seem so effortlessly cool doing post-match. I never got
to interview Sir Alex in my career. I can imagine I would have been slightly
nervous at that prospect. One of my first ever post-match interviewees was
Roy Keane at Ipswich and in my inexperience I worked myself up into such a
flustered frenzy I completely fluffed my first question. He laughed and
looked at me with what can only be described as semi-hostile pity but he
answered and I got through it…so, after that, any interview seemed a breeze!

Filming with Ray Winstone is another highlight during my time on Soccer
Saturday. It was just before our FA cup final and we spoke about our
adoration for all things West Ham. He was just as you'd imagine,
down-to-earth, funny, brutally honest, larger-than-life and fierce in his
love for the club. But even in the presence of that Hollywood superstar I
wasn't particularly daunted. He was so easy to talk to it was just like
talking to any West Ham fan. And I loved him for that.

One of the best interviews I ever did was while presenting Take It Like A
Fan from The County Ground. Swindon were on a high and I had the pleasure of
meeting the gaffer, another one of my Hammers heroes, the inimitable Paolo
Di Canio. Actually you can't really call it an interview. It was more of an
experience, a happening, a lesson in oratory. Di Canio spoke, the room
listened; gripped, rapt, engrossed and fascinated. I'm not exaggerating.
Tales of his life, insights into his career, anecdotes of his days with
Redknapp, impersonations of Capello, his hands flailing, arms wide, masses
of expression, tons of charisma, his audience open-mouthed and spellbound. I
barely got a word in!


The last time I physically felt nervous before a shoot was last season,
interviewing the man who ruined our cup final (no not Lionel Scaloni), the
former England captain and all-round Mr-Nice-Guy Steven Gerrard. I don't
know why. Maybe because it was a big interview, Liverpool were flying, the
camera set up was impressive and the lights seemed bigger than normal. There
were a few spectators in the room so I felt a bit more under pressure. But
mostly because it's Stevie G. Maybe not a top top player for some but he is
to me. In actual fact I swore to myself if I ever met him I'd give him a
piece of my mind. We needed that trophy more than they did! He broke my
heart that day! But when he came in, he shook everyone's hand from the
cameramen to the waiting journos, smiling warmly while he introduced himself
(like we didn't know) so I completely forgot my ire and vaguely resembled
that giggling schoolgirl waiting in line all those years ago in Top Man. It
was a great interview and I felt proud to be talking to a living legend.

Which brings me to the whole point of this week's blog. Legend. The word
legend is well over-used these days. Legendary. Everyone is a legend. Anyone
can be a legend. Everything is "legend…wait for it…..ary!" (if you didn't
watch How I Met Your Mother that reference is probably lost on you sorry).
Well, last week I met a real legend. And for the first time in twenty odd
years I was a true fangirl. I had the honour of attending the Bobby Moore
Fund charity dinner and lo and behold, on the table behind me, was the one
man I'd always wanted to meet but never had, the legend, the legendary, Sir
Trevor Brooking. Cue me, acting like a child, should I go and speak to him,
can I ask for a picture, what will I say, what will he say, should I bother
him, no I better not, but I must! Cut a long and very boring inner
stream-of-consciousness short I ventured over, introduced myself, asked for
a picture and had an amazing chat with him about how happy we are this
season and our hopes for West Ham's future. And no he didn't always sit on
the fence but I'll keep that between us! They say never meet your heroes,
you'll be disappointed. I was not.


When I floated back to my table I texted the picture to the family. A flurry
of texts hit my phone at once. Mum "Oh ledge!" Bro 1 "Oh wow get me an
autograph saying come on you irons!" Bro 2 "Absolute legend", Step-dad "Tell
him I said we will never forget the '76 Cup Winners Cup semi against
Frankfurt he was majestic!" Bro 3 "Get a signed pic Bee!"

I didn't return to hassle Sir Trev with those requests. But I knew I'd been
in the company of a true, true legend. A West Ham winner! Will we ever see
the like again? Who will be the next Hammer to achieve legendary status? Who
was the last? What constitutes a legend for us now?

For me a legend is a true servant of the club, who sticks with us in good
times and bad, a player who gives their all for the shirt. It's someone who
embodies the spirit of what it means to be West Ham. Who feels our pain, and
our joy. We haven't seen many of those in a few years but, who knows, with
the faint glimmer of hope we now feel about our future, the next Hammers
legend(s) may not be too far away.

In the meantime we'll have to…wait for it…..

B x

Come On You Irons

Valencia rumour grows
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on November 20, 2014 in Whispers
Claret & Hugh

Enner Valenica is understood to be the latest injury worry to hit the
Hammers. ClaretandHugh is this afternoon hearing rumours that the Ecuadorian
striker picked up a knock from the Aston Villa clash from which he has not
fully recovered. And it is likely that along with Diafra Sakho, Stewart
Downing and Winston Reid he will face a fitness test ahead of the game
against Everton at the weekend. Manager Sam Allardyce admitted in his press
conference that Sakho and Downing were both doubts and Reid too can be added
to the list after www.physioroom.com revealed his may not make the match.
Valencia, however, comes as a surprise and we were told that his chances of
making the game rested on the fitness test and that he was rated
fifty/fifty. However, the manager has given a thumbs-up to Andy Carroll's
fitness who now looks set to start against The Toffees.

Sam: 'Injury worries but AC good to go'
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on November 20, 2014 in Whispers
Claret & Hugh

Sam Allardyce appears to have changed his tune concerning Andy Carroll. With
a minor injury crisis on his hands which involves four players – Diafra
Sakho, Winston Reid, Stewart Downing and one other, currently unnamed, the
question of Andy Carroll's fitness is high on the agenda. Those with
reasonable memories will remember that the boss said after the Villa match
that the record signing was into a six week pre-season and the five minutes
he played was the first of those. Since then he has appeared in a practice
game against Fulham and we might have expected that, given the manager's
previous assessment, he might get half an hour at best against The Toffees.
How a few injuries change things however, and in his press conference this
morning Allardyce made it clear that the striker is fit and raring to go. He
said: "I wouldn't say he's 100% match fit but he is ready to start. He's
raring to go as is Carlton Cole so we've got very good options up front. "We
don't have much time to work together for Saturday but that's the situation
we're in, same as Everton. We'll work on a few things today and tomorrow and
then make a decision." What a difference a fortnight makes – WHEN IT HAS TO!
