The Fan Zone

@WestHamPlace : Nunos first game at home and it feels like a big game for him and the club. The new manager has had a fortnight to work with the players and Id expect to see that come through on Monday when we host Brentford.

There is a big fan boycott of this game and whatever your stance on this is, the manager and his staff must make sure that the fans grievances with the ownership is in no way seen as unhappiness towards the players.

Brentford have provided very tough opposition for West Ham since their promotion but I think we should have enough to get the win, Ill go for a gutsy 2-0 win.

Come on you Irons.

Prediction: 2-0
