West Ham Falls to the Champs: Man U. 3, Hammers 0

The Hammers fell to the Red Devils in the 38th minute and couldn't pick them selves back up again for the rest of the match. Losing the match at Old Trafford 0-3. The match ended in swirls of snow signifying the cold and bitter end of West Ham's two match win streak.

For the first 38 minutes it was a fairly even match with West Ham and Man. United splitting the possesion and the shot attempts equally. Then England National, Wayne Rooney, opened the match up with a header that beat Robert Green. The Hammers hung on for the rest of the half to keep the Red Devils lead at one goal.

Wayne Rooney wasn't done, he pushed on and in the 54th minute he put in his second header to beat Green and move the Manchester United lead to two goals. West Ham was never able to recover after the score and the match became out of hand for Manager Gianfranco Zola to take away any points from Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

Rooney made way for Michael Owen in the 77th, and was instantly a pest for the Hammers. He scored the matches final goal in the 80th minute to put it at an end.

Carlton Cole and his mates had a handful of chances in the last 15 minutes of the match but they couldn't put anything together to get past Man. Utd. keeper Ben Foster.

It is always tough to play Manchester Utd. at Old Trafford, their home form is 12 wins, one draw and one loss. And after their loss to Everton on Saturday they were looking for blood. Unfortunately for their Hammers back-to-back win streak comes to a halt.

Man. U maintains their 2nd place seat on the league table and brings their point total to 60, just one behind front-runners Chelsea.

The Hammers play next against Bolton in their next game on March 6th, at Boelyn Ground. Hopefully they can beat up on Bolton and return to a winning form to maintain themselves out of the bottom three.

I'm Foever Blowing Bubbles,
Pretty Bubbles in the Air,
They fly so High,
Till they Reach the Sky,
and like my Dreams they Fade and Die,
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked Everywhere,
I'm forever blowing Bubbles,
Pretty Bubbles in the Air!

West Ham vs. Manchester United: Hammers Looking for Upset of the Season

West Ham travels to Old Trafford this Tuesday to play Man. U in a big match for both teams. For Manchester U. they will need a win to come within a point of front-runners Chelsea, and for West Ham, a win or a draw is needed to solidify the 13th seat on the table.

The Hammer's though are surging. two wins in their last two matches, with Robert Green holding both Birmingham City and Hull City goal-less. He will look to do the same against the likes of Wayne Rooney, the leagues top goal scorer. With the help of captain Matthew Upson holding down the defense.

United will see the return of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic together in their defensive backfield for the first time in 2010. The duo were greatly missed last Saturday which saw the Red Devils fall to Everton in a 3-1 result in favor of the Toffees in all area's including the score. This will bring Manchester U. into full strength for the match.

On the other side, West Ham will again be without Benni McCarthy who is still hampered by the knee injury he received in his first match in the claret and blue against Burnley.

The Hammer's still have the help of Mido and Ilan to anchor the striker position and with Carlton Cole, and his two goals in consecutive matches. All along side the raging Italian stallion that is Alessandro Diamanti, West Ham will pose some threat for the Red Devils.

Gianfranco Zola will be looking to not get beaten Tuesday and take at least a point if not all three from Old Trafford. If the Hammers win it would be the upset of their season, trumping their victory over a surging and solid Aston Villa side on November 4th.

The match is at 8:00 p.m. London time.

West Ham Hopeful here, and that's the way I will forever stay.
