Crawley Town are apparently on the TV for a second time this week, when Ebbsfleet visit the Broadfield Stadium on Thursday evening. They were on Setanta Sunday night, playing Forest Green. That was a bit of a disappointment though – the previous two games were wins of 8-0 and 4-0 and then when they played […]

Unworkable and unfair
February 8th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Life
I have been thinking about Caroline Flint’s comments on social housing tenants, and listening to the debate about it in my local Labour party, and I will probably return to that topic, but for now here is something else that is totally unworkable and unfair…
Bloody typical

In retrospect it was almost inevitable: on the weekend when West Ham had a great chance to move up one or two places they blew it, and not only that, but the buffer between us and the bottom half of the table reduced from 8 to 7 points. All we had to do was get […]
Confident

The close of the January transfer window arrived today, with no last-minute surprise deals for West Ham. The only activity from the Hammers in the transfer market in the whole month was to sell Hogan Ephraim to QPR and let three players go on loan.
Happy days are here again?

Well… I was hoping for at least three points for the Hammers over the holidays and already they have four. I didn’t dare hope for a home win against Man Utd., but that’s what we got.

A good question
December 2nd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Life
Pardon me while schadenfreude takes over for a moment, but I did enjoy the question on football365 today. In a story with the headline “Let’s all laugh at Tottenham”, it says: Again. The team that was supposed to be taking a Champions League spot from Arsenal remain just a point above the relegation zone after […]
What a load of rubbish!

Who would have guessed that ‘resting’ Paul Robinson would turn out to look like a mistake? England were terrible tonight though. At half time I gave up and watched Heroes instead. But well done to ex-Hammer Slaven Bilic. His team deserved to win more than we did and looked like they wanted to win more […]

On their way to Wembley

Although the Majeed-ridden Crawley Town got knocked out in the last round our neighbours, Horsham, have got through to the second round proper where they will meet Swansea. Not only that but their first goal was better than most in the Premier League this week. How good to see a local team on a cup […]
A great weekend for British sport!
October 23rd, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life
I can’t understand why everyone is so gloomy about sport this week. West Ham won and avoided slipping down the table, the English rugby team turned around a tournament which they started by losing 36-nil and ended up almost winning it, and Lewis Hamilton came within a point of winning the F1 title in his […]

The BBC say he has gone. I hope they are wrong – I always find his press conferences entertaining.
