Paul merson has already cause another chaos for premier league supporters
It’s very clear west ham star didn’t work hard for this award
The goal at Crystal Palace has won the whufc. com vote for August Goal of the Month.
Bowen’s game-clinching strike at Selhurst Park takes the first monthly prize of the season, as selected by Hammers fans.
The Irons skipper finished a swift counter to score his side’s second goal in an excellent 2-0 win over the Eagles, collecting a pass from Maximilian KIlman – who strode out of defence impressively – before racing to the box, checking onto his left foot and slamming home.
Bowen’s goal beat Josh Ajala’s for our Under-21 side against Southampton into second place, while Tomáš Souček’s strike – also against Crystal Palace – was third.

Jarrod Bowen has been shortlisted for the Premier League Guinness Goal of the Month award for August for his superb strike in the 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.
The West Ham United captain completed a sweeping move and secured a valuable victory at Selhurst Park with his memorable 72nd-minute finish.
The goal, which came five minutes after Bowen had played a role in Tomáš Souček’s opener, was a counter-attacking masterpiece.
Guido Rodríguez poked the ball away from Eberechi Eze on the edge of the West Ham penalty area and it fell to Maximilian Kilman. The centre-half then burst past Eze and brushed off Adam Wharton’s challenge before crossing the halfway line and releasing Bowen with a superb diagonal pass.
The England forward collected in his stride, took a few touches as he entered the Palace box, then cut inside defender Chris Richards and fired an accurate and powerful shot low past Dean Henderson in the Eagles goal.
Bowen has been nominated alongside Manchester City’s Mateo Kovačić, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Tottenham Hotspur’s Yves Bissouma, Liverpool’s Luis Díaz, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap and Southampton’s Yukinari Sugawara.
Voting is open now HERE. Polling closes at 12noon on Monday 9 September, with the winner set to be announced on Friday 13 September at 1pm.
I scrolled past this first time I read it.
How far have we come as a team when a West Ham United player’s nomination for ‘Goal Of The Month’ In the Premier League is commonplace. Think about it for a moment, the other nominees were from Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City. The very fact that we find this unremarkable on first reading shows how far we as a club have travelled in the last few seasons.
Because it is not a ‘one-off- for some flash in the pan super strike, rather a continuation of the finer parts of last season with Jarrod Bowen getting onto the scoresheet so many times and equalling Paolo di Canio‘s club record of 16 top-flight league goals in a season. So he has carried on this year, netting against Crystal Palace and getting nominated by the Premier League for August.
The goal, in case you don’t remember, was when Max Kilman carried out of defence, across the half way line, and slid the through pass to Bowen who shot past the Palace Keeper in a devastating fast flowing counter-attack.
I shan’t wax lyrical about Bowen’s attributes as a striker, you’ll have read enough of that this weekend after his England cameo BUT – get on and vote for Jarrod’s goal, Hammers! You can see the goals and vote here: https :// www. premierleague. com/awards/goal-of-the-month/2024-25/ august
The very fact that it is commonplace for our goal scorers to be nominated amongst the top teams in the Premier League is now a source of quiet pride for me: Long may it continue that the humble Hammers are mentioned in the same sentences as Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool. This is where we belong now.
