Hello everyone,
Quite simply – an amazing week for everyone at West Ham United.
I have been to Arsenal a few times over the last few years and it is fair to say we have not enjoyed the best of results coming away from Emirates Stadium.
I remember when dad told me the team that Slaven had picked, I could not believe that Reece Oxford would be making his Premier League debut at just 16.
I actually thought we could come away with a 1-1 draw and when we took our seats for the game I could never have envisaged what was about to happen.
Kouyate scored a great header right on half-time and it was the perfect time for us to score a goal.
We came out for the second half and as always my older brother Dave was the last to take his seat as he is very superstitious.
But it definitely paid off as we then scored a second goal and I love Mauro Zarate. I know Petr Cech came under fire for the goal but Zarate's turn and shot was fantastic.
The whole team were just magnificent. James Tomkins was asked to play at right back and he stood his ground and never gave the Arsenal wingers any real opportunity to cause us a major threat.
Sakho worked so hard for the team and showed how much he is prepared to help his team-mates defensively as well.
Ogbonna was fantastic on his Premier League debut and he made several crucial blocks during the game. I like him a lot and and he looks very relaxed on the ball.
We worked much harder than Arsenal and now we move onto Leicester. We have to get a result and make it two out of two.
This is the start of our final ever season at the Boleyn Ground and we are marking our first home game with a 'Claret and Blue Day' on Saturday.
We had a similar thing at Birmingham where everything was turned blue and I hope the fans will turn up in their claret and blue colours.
There will be face painters outside and I'm sure the fans will make it a memorable final season.
If we are lucky with injuries and we continue to show the same kind of passion that was evident against Arsenal, I really feel this could be a special season for everyone at the Club.
It was great to meet up with a number of our fans at the Club Day that we held at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday.
I turned up as Bubbles and really enjoyed it. It is something that I have always wanted to do.
I wanted to actually do it in a league game, but I thought there would be too much pressure.
But Dad said to me it would be a good idea for me to do it at open training session and it was great to see so many people turn up and support the team.
I didn't realise how hot it was going to be inside the outfit and I was dripping with sweat when I came back into the changing room but it was well worth it.
Dave was telling me that people wanted me to sign autographs which I was more than happy to do. Days like that are all about the fans.
We did a penalty shoot-out at the end of the session and myself and Dave went to pick out people from the crowd. It was a dream come true for some of them.
We managed to get Raphael Spiegel in goal and I managed to score against him as I hammered the ball into the corner of the net.
I hope the fans enjoyed it just as much as we did.
Let's make it a special atmosphere against Leicester on Saturday and continue this amazing start to the campaign.
I look forward to speaking with you all again soon.
Jack
