The 2009–10 Premier League was West Ham United's fifth consecutive season in the Premier League, following a ninth-placed finish in the 2008–09 Premier League. They were managed by Gianfranco Zola - in his second season after replacing Alan Curbishley in September 2008.

Season summary

The Hammers won their first Premier League game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux,[1] but failed to win another until early November after an injury time winner from Zavon Hines sealed an upset victory against Aston Villa.[2]

The Upton Park riots took place in West Ham's first Football League Cup game on 25 August against fierce rivals Millwall. The club was fined £115,000 after pitch invasions and brawling, resulting in a Millwall fan being stabbed.[3] West Ham won the game 3–1 after extra time.

On 19 January 2010, former Birmingham City owners David Gold and David Sullivan completed a joint takeover of West Ham United from cash-strapped Icelandic owner Björgólfur Guðmundsson.[4]

West Ham's mid-season form was patchy, but a loss at Old Trafford[5] began a string of six consecutive losses to put them in relegation danger. The run was broken by a late equaliser in a 2–2 draw at Everton,[6] followed by a 1–0 win at home against Sunderland.[7] Another poor game at Anfield[8] was a minor hiccup in West Ham's quest for survival, as they then earned three points against Wigan Athletic in a hard-fought 3–2 win.[9] Simultaneously, Hull City blew an opportunity against Sunderland, losing 1–0. West Ham's Premier League status was confirmed on 3 May with Hull's 2–2 draw with Wigan, which left them five points behind West Ham with one game left to play.[10]

West Ham's away record of only one away win all season equalled their lowest number of away wins for a season, previously set in 1960–61.[11] On 11 May 2010, two days after the end of the season, the club announced the termination of their manager Gianfranco Zola's contract with immediate effect.[12]

Results

Pre season

West Ham took part in a pre-season training camp in Austria and Slovenia, and had scheduled four pre-season games; however, the game against Bundesliga side Werder Bremen was called off due to wet weather.[14] West Ham also took place in the 2009 Barclays Asia Trophy, where they finished third.
