London Stadium. Picture by @CapFootballUK West Ham United 3 Leeds United 0 Wider events of the day, out of their hands, the prospect of relegation to the Championship hovered with the intense heat above the London Stadium. West Ham did all they could do, as it turned out. A 3-0 win over Leeds United is an impressive scoreline on the face of it.

Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone in Hoffenheim Vladimir Coufal has lifted the lid on West Ham’s interminable demise, citing the club’s delusion as a key factor. There was a time, not so long ago, when West Ham were regularly playing in Europe. Alongside winning the Conference League in 2024, the Hammers also reached the semi-final and the quarter-final of the Europa League in 2022 and 2024 respectively. Yet a ninth-place finish in 2024 was no longer deemed as good enough f

No more time for grey areas : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League West Ham United (0) 0 Arsenal (0) 1 Trossard 83 Arsenal are just two wins away from the title. But how they managed to escape the London Stadium with all three points will haunt the beaten Hammers - whose hopes of beating the drop now hang by a thread. Both sets of fans went through an insanely tense finale as officials debated whether a last gasp Hammers equaliser was legal. The wait for a verdict was almost u

Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone at PreZero Arena, Hoffenheim Capital Football London travelled to Germany to speak with ex-West Ham United and new Hoffenheim right-back Vladimir Coufal. The Czech Republic international, who spent five years at the London Stadium, is lighting up the Bundesliga and playing a key role in Hoffenheim’s push for Champions League qualification. Following his side’s 1–0 win over SV Werder Bremen on Saturday afternoon, we preview West Ham’s must-win

The Gtech was a grim place for the Hammers this weekend For Spurs, it was just the perfect time to play Aston Villa. For West Ham, it was maybe the worst time to take on a Brentford side eyeing a crack at European football for the first time. Tottenham travelled to Villa Park on Sunday night with an extra spring in their step after seeing the Hammers cave in 3-0 at the Gtech to the ambitious Bees. It gave them the chance to overtake their east London rivals and get out of the

East End sunshine for a big match : Picture by David Rake Premier League West Ham (0 2 Soucek 51, Wilson 90+2 Everton (0) 1 Dewsbury-Hall 88 West Ham's battle to beat the drop received the vital boost of a late winner - a goal made all the more important by the fact that relegation rivals Spurs had just scored a late winner of their own at Wolves. Callum Wilson has not been an unqualified success for the Irons, it's probably fair to say, but the former England striker has now

Eagles v Hammers: Pic by @CapFootballUK A point each in the London derby at Selhurst Park did neither team any Premier League favours – especially for relegation-threatened West Ham United. Here, Capital Football looks at some takeaways from the scoreless draw in south London. EAGLES' EYES ELSEWHERE? For the second home game in a row, Palace fans – renowned for their vocal support at Selhurst Park – were more preoccupied about a possible trip to Leipzig on 27 May for the Con

Springtime at Selhurst : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Crystal Palace 0 West Ham United 0 The Hammers eked out another point in their quest for Premier League survival in a game that got the final scoreline it had always threated and thoroughly deserved. West Ham were understandably a little cautious but only time will tell whether they might regret not going for a win with more abandon - especially as the Eagles were without the injured Adam Wharton - but for now they

By Alessandro Schiavone While Arsenal look increasingly likely to cement their serial bottlers status once more on current form following their 2-1 defeat at Man City yesterday, their hated rivals from down the road Tottenham Hotspur are flirting with a shock relegation, and two-time European kings Chelsea could miss out on the Champions League once again, with fifth-placed Liverpool now holding a SEVEN-point lead. And that with only five fixtures left to negotiate before

By Football Reporter Taty Castellanos warned that there's still a lot of work ahead of West Ham after the 4-0 trashing of Wolverhampton. The Argentine sealed a 99-second brace in Friday's must-win game which temporarily lifted the Hammers out of the bottom-three. The £25million January transfer from Lazio has been a central cog in West Ham's survival bid, with his arrival even evoking memories of Carlos Tevez's devastating impact at Upton Park back in 2006. He told Capital Fo
