BOBBY MOORE With the 1964 FA CUP Trophy won by @WestHam

Shows just how much deft ability and football intelligence Alan Dickens had at such a young age. If only he hadn't been billed as 'the next Trevor Brooking'. An impossible ask.

#OnThisDay 1996 Julian Dicks was on the scoresheet with this screamer as West Ham beat Manchester City 4-2. What a strike! #WHUFC ⚽️

On 23rd March, 1965, @WestHam beat @lausanne_sport 4-3 (6-4 on agg) at Upton Park in a European Cup Winners Cup 3rd round 2nd leg tie. #WHUFC goals came from @BrianDear18 (2), Martin Peters and an own goal #OnThisDay #OTD

Never.

Bowen doesn't have a trick, nothing to shake his marker when matched stride for stride. Good when in space and has enough time to get a shot in and, tbf, has improved on weaker right foot. But struggles if he has to actually dribble past a defender. Lack of upper body movement.

Lucky to be one down. Someone tell 'em to liven up because we're in a relegation battle. 3 unmarked Villa players stood like statues on edge of bix, no-one alert enough to close down McGinn, who scores with a sidefoot from 20 yds. AWB in a Sunday trance, Soucek marking space. FFS

@1westhamfan His starting position is wrong. He's a few yards off his line and slightly ahead of his near-post (a better angle of this is shown from camera behind the goal). Hence, he can't backtrack sufficiently to tip ball over bar. His first job is to defend his goalline.

I don’t agree. Where was he supposed to position himself? If he had come closer to the near post, he would’ve even been more susceptible to the chip. And if he had taken a couple steps back towards the far post, he would’ve left his near post open. He was positioned to cover a potential cross, as well as to prevent a near post shot and a cut back towards the middle. The fact is he’s not the tallest goalkeeper and has been caught out vertically a couple of times this season. You can’t fault him for not having the greatest reach; those are just his physical dimensions.

A little late posting this, but I’m in the USA and I was busy w/a friend all day. Just watched the game on record. See below. I absolutely blew a gasket when I saw the lack of effort AWB put into any recovery after losing the ball in midfield. He needed to get back into his position on the right side channel to cover that gap but didn’t. A freaking jogging masterpiece. Absolutely unacceptable, particularly when his teammates were running their asses off for each other. @jackelderton @danwoff98

@BillyBondsStand @TheGeoffHurst A great bloke, East Ender through and through. Such a shame Joe suffered a stroke so soon after retiring as a teacher. He was a staunch supporter of EX magazine and attended most reunions.

Stepney born Joe Durrell is celebrating his 73rd Birthday today. Joe only played 6 first team games for West Ham but also played in @TheGeoffHurst Testimonial against a European XI including Eusebio. Joe is seen here standing on that night in between Johnny Ayris and Clyde Best ⚒️

I think there is something wrong with my connection as for some reason despite weeks of coverage on the BBC of Angela Rayner’s tax affairs I don’t seem to be able to find a big @BBCNews story on Richard Tice’s tax affairs. Does anyone have any IT advice so I can read it?

@Johnjam10John All of the above.

So what actually has changed our fortunes……. Nuno Buying Pablo/Taty Moving Paqueta on Dropping Areola & Kilman Summerville & Fernandez upturn in form Getting Disasi in GETTING RID OF POTTER

Totally deserved point that feels like a win. Everyone played his part in defending like warriors. Bodies on the line. Mavro has taken a lot of stick but he's now putting in heroic performances. Credit to Nuno too. First time we've been out of the bottom 3 since December 3.

West Ham United 4 Manchester City 1 Div1 25/9/82 Att.23,883 Sandy Clark (2), Paul Goddard & Francois van der Elst with the Hammers goals, Phil Boyer replying for City who had Kevin Bond & Asa Hartford dismissed. Alex Williams saved an early Ray Stewart penalty. #WHUFC #COYI #MCFC

Played some good stuff at times. Love how Fernandes receives the ball on the half-turn and plays one or two-touch. Disasi is a rock of a good loan signing. Bowen's right foot improving. Soucek good & strong in both boxes. Credit him & Mavro for stepping up to take perfect pens.

A great servant to @RomfordFC.

Once again, we clearly have no real desire to win the FA Cup for the first time in what is now 46 years.

@ianmckee58 He didn't mean a deliberate handball. He probably intended for ball to hit his chest - but misjudged the flight.

@EXHammers That is deliberate though haha

Hate the handball law (only deliberate should result in a pen) but we've all seen these given since VAR ruined the game.

@robbie_gates He didn't mean a deliberate handball. He probably intended for ball to hit his chest - but misjudged the flight.

@EXHammers Thing is it was deliberate leaned into it

Summerville does it again. Sublime shimmy and finish - and credit Bowen for winning the ball and setting it up. Hermansen also earned his corn tonight. Forest's shock draw at City underlines the importance of our win at Fulham.
