One from the You Couldn’t Make It Up Department.
A £25,000 per table of ten fund raiser took place at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Monday night for the West Ham Acadamy. Full page adverts in the event’s programme were priced at £1000. The guests were described by the Club as ‘high profile’ and included club ‘Legends’ and some of the capital’s leading rag & bone men.
John Lyle’s family probably weren’t there as Karren Brady removed the their complimentary Season Tickets last week.
The gala turned into a brawl straight out of Carry On Cowboy. Supposedly this was sparked by Demba Ba claiming he was too tired to sign a fan’s Bull Staffy puppy.
James Corden hosted along with Ben Shepard and Stacey Solomon… well she was there. There was an auction.
Prizes included World Cup tickets (£10k the pair), Be chairman for the day (£4k), a round of golf on Golds private course with him and a day at the spa for your missus(£4k), Ali signed glove(£3k), mascot for the Man Utd game (£5k, I think), a day at the racetrack with Zola (£3k), use of the pitch at Upton Park f or a matc h/tournament (£8k), be included in the official 2010/11 team photo(£3k).
Eye witnesses reported tables being overturned, glasses being smashed. A vase was ‘high kicked’ and one MC asked the raving mob to please sit on chairs, not to throw them.’
The evening concluded with a cabaret consisting of police and security guards chasing gala guests up and down stairs, in and out lifts etc.
Also noticed that Andy Carroll runs like he’s wearing wellingtons filled with cow poo.
it may of been his own poo
Simple fact is King makes any player playing with him look good, but sadly he’s on the way out, if not already a place too many on the squad numbers and a bill on the wage tab too far.
I’d guess THFC (or he) is getting some compensation from insurance of some description, but nonetheless I think its time… Woodgate the same. Others who we should pull the plug on are Jenas, Bentley & PSB. Beyond that we will lose Niko which I think is a great shame and barely explicable. Most everyone else can pull their weight and we have seen the need for depth in the squad this last 12 months.
I don’t doubt there will be others who may be allowed to go for the right enquiry, like Palacios, Begbie, Bassong etc. but I can see the overall quality being lifted by removing the sludge at the bottom and adding some gems at the top.
King is a bit like an old girlfriend you see on the side. You know the sensible thing is to end it but when you’re with her nothing compares
:cwy:
Hmmmmm, that does sum it up! I think the head and the heart are at odds on Ledders but the head says, let him go.
I bought the new Premier League tool kit the other day, but had to take it back because there were no Hammers in it.
I got kicked out of Waterstones yesterday, apparently putting Kate McCann’s book into the ‘Murder-Mystery’ section isn’t allowed.
I like the bit in their self fullfilling prophetic song that the spammers sing week in week out”just like my dreams they fade and die”
I dont like the bit about blowing pretty bubbles in the air, very childish. :freu
