As well as competing in the Premier League, West Ham took part in the FA Cup and the League Cup entering at the third and second rounds respectively.

Sam Allardyce started his fourth full season as West Ham manager, with Kevin Nolan captaining the team for the fourth year. It was to be their penultimate season playing at the Boleyn Ground before moving to the Olympic Stadium for the start of the 2016–17 season.[1]

West Ham got off to a very good start in the league. The team was 3rd in the Premier League table on Christmas Day but won just 3 matches between Boxing Day and the end of the season as their form collapsed dramatically and they finished in 12th place, one position higher than the previous season. Minutes after the last game of season- a 0–2 defeat away at Newcastle, the club announced that they would not be renewing manager Allardyce's contract.[2]

The players before the game, West Ham vs Tottenham

West Ham opened the season at home to Tottenham Hotspur, whom they defeated three times last season in all competitions. It was an eventful game, seeing Mark Noble miss a penalty for the first time since 2009. Both sides went down to ten men after James Collins picked up two yellow cards, whilst Kyle Naughton saw straight red for handling the ball in the penalty area. Eric Dier scored his first competitive goal for Spurs in stoppage time to pick up all three points for the North London club.[28] Next up for the Hammers was an away trip to managerless Crystal Palace. Mauro Zárate hit a spectacular volley to register his first West Ham goal and there were also goals from Stewart Downing and Carlton Cole. Senegalese player Diafra Sakho and Diego Poyet, son of Gus, also made their debuts.[29] Southampton was the next challenge and the last game before the international break. The club unveiled Barcelona and Cameroon midfielder Alex Song before kick off, who joined for a season-long loan.[30] Mark Noble put West Ham a goal up before half time but Southampton scored two second half goals to take all three points back to the South Coast. They finished the month in 11th place.[31]

September

West Ham played Hull City in their first game during September. A 2–2 draw at the KC Stadium produced a debut goal for Enner Valencia and club debut's for Carl Jenkinson, Morgan Amalfitano and Alex Song.[32] The club's second win of the season came at home to Liverpool. Morgan Amalfitano scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win.[33] Despite captain Wayne Rooney seeing red, West Ham could not overcome the ten men of Manchester United, losing 2–1.[34]

October

The first of a three-game winning streak came at home against struggling QPR in a 2–0 win that saw the club move up to seventh. Diafro Sakho scored his third consecutive league goal.[35] A second-straight win came against promoted side Burnley. Sakho scored his fourth consecutive league goal and helped move West Ham to fourth in the table on the eve of Sam Allardyce's 60th birthday.[36] West Ham secured their third-straight win and a 100% win rate for October in a 2–1 home win against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. Sakho scored his fifth consecutive league goal and his sixth in a row in all competitions, breaking a club record.[37]

November

West Ham visited Stoke City and salvaged a point after being 2–0 down to draw 2–2, taking their unbeaten run to four games. Sakho was unable to continue his run of scoring in consecutive matches following an injury sustained in the Manchester City match.[38] Aston Villa was next to visit the Boleyn Ground, a match that ended 0–0. This result extended West Ham's unbeaten run to five games and also saw the return of Andy Carroll following several months out through injury. The club went into the November international break in fourth place.[39]

December

The visit of Swansea City on 7 December produced a 3–1 win for West Ham, placing them in third place in the Premier League.[40] On 20 December, West Ham beat Leicester City 2–0 to place them in the top four of the league at Christmas, the first time this has occurred since the 1985–86 season.[41] West Ham lost their next two games, 2–0 away to Chelsea and 1–2 at home to Arsenal to be placed sixth at the end of the calendar year.[42]

January

West Ham won a single game from four played in January; a 3–0 home win against Hull City. Two draws, against West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City and a defeat at Anfield against Liverpool completed the month's results in the league.[43]

February

With no wins, three draws, against Manchester United, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, and a defeat, against Crystal Palace, in February, West Ham slipped to ninth in the league.[43]

March

With three league games played in March, West Ham won one, a 1–0 home win against Sunderland with the goal being scored by Diafra Sakho in the 88th minute.[43]

April

West Ham played four games in April and won none of them. The games included two defeats and two draws including an away defeat to Leicester City, at the time at the bottom of the league.[43]
