Today ticks all the boxes for being a good day: West Ham didn’t lose Man Utd did lose – thus keeping the Premier League interesting for a while longer Crawley Town won – keeping them within touching distance of the play-offs Went shopping and came back with what I went out for (new trousers) Went [...]

Hair today
February 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
There was a vaguely amusing article/interview in the sport section of the Guardian today about Marouane Fallaini, Everton’s Belgian rising star.  For fairly obvious reasons, the writer kept coming back to that huge perm of of his. Apparently all the Harry Enfield ‘scouser’ wigs are being dusted off now and being worn as Fellaini wigs. [...]

Bye bye Bellamy
January 19th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Life
Just a week ago I could well have read this news with some degree of despair, but after a weekend that saw the Hammers win well without Bellamy even on the bench I am a bit more sanguine about our future prospects.
Cameron’s new plan
January 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics
Having failed to excite anybody with his few, vague and contradictory policies, it appears that David Cameron now plans to rescue the country using a variation of the Pygmalion effect. What he seems to be saying is that he does not need any policies because he will achieve success merely by winning an election. His [...]
Posponed?
January 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life
Looking at the Premier League fixtures for the next few weeks, I noticed that the game between Newcastle and Sunderland that was due to be played on Monday Feb 2nd has been postponed. It will now be played on Sunday 1st Feb and I am confused. Surely ‘postponed’ means to be put back until a [...]
One Way Or Another
November 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life
What a scary season it is in the Premier league this year. We are a third of the way through and for most ofthe teams it could go one way or another. This is not one of those years wherea gap has opened up at thebottom – not since Harry moved to Spurs anyway – [...]
Hurry Up Harry
October 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Life
I can’t wait until the morning. I am really looking forward to telling Jayne who her club have got as a new manager. When Harry Redknapp was in charge at West Ham she always used to laugh at him so she is not going to take it well. Could be a good move for Spurs [...]

Heartbreaker
October 5th, 2008 · No Comments · Life
I really don’t know why I let myself get my hopes up with West Ham because they always do it: tease you with the chance of something good and then slip up. This week we could have gone from 5th to 3rd if we had won, and we were going into a home game against [...]
You Got That Right

It’s good to see that Match of the Day’s pundit Mark ‘Lawro’ Lawrenson can be as inane in writing as he is on air. He has a weekly feature on the BBC Sport website where he predicts the results for the week’s Premier League games.  For each game he gives some opinions and says what [...]
Release The Pressure
October 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Life
If there is an award for best press conference of the year, I think Joe Kinnear must be a shoe-in. For the real laughs you have to read through to the end where the Newcastle press officer steps in and tells teh everyone to forget the unequivocal slagging off that has gone on and it [...]
