Good morning.

Time is running out for the Primark Posse. In just some eighty odd hours time the opportunity of a lifetime will be gone. Groupon is offering West Ham home tickets at up to 53% off the marked price. West Ham Football Club, a force to reckoned with globally. Soon to be the subject of a forthcoming soccerumentary, ‘My Big Fat Headed Olympic Squatters’.

And so now in a pincer movement of stupidity we have Porn Baron David Sullivan of  Goldplated & Sullivan fame who is sore no, not because of that business with the dwarf and the road cone but the loss of Pathe News Boy. He confided to The Guardian.

“This might not please many people but look at Scott Parker’s performance in the first five games of this season. To me it didn’t look like he was doing the tackling you’d normally expect him to do,” 

“He was running about, he was doing OK but he wasn’t doing the tackling we know he can do because he knew that the one thing that would stop a move for him would be an injury.

“To me it looked like he didn’t want to be there. He told us he didn’t want to be there. There’s no player who has given more for the club in recent years, so to make him stay against his wishes … He was protecting himself either consciously or subconsciously. He’s gone to Spurs and he is back to his old self.” 

Someone call the Guinness Book Of Records as a man who flogs ‘Backwards Bun Beads’ has been morally outraged. Sour grapes isn’t the half of it. ‘To me it looked like he didn’t want to be there. He told us he didn’t want to be there.’  Eh? If this the keen analytical mind you need to became a millionaire, I’m doomed to a life of poverty.

The truth is that Parker won PWA Footballer Of The Year while at West Ham and despite the shoddy manner in which that club was mismanaged he was all too frequently a one man team who ran himself into the ground for them.

    You had me at bum beads…

    Its David Sullivan that you were quoting you stupid prick. If you’re going to hijack part of an interview and try to assassinate the man’s character (btw every fan watching Scott Parker at the beginning of this season could see he was giving less than 50%), at least get the correct picture and name of the source. Scotty’s great, no denying it, but he acted like a stroppy kid for the first 4 or so games before he got his transfer… I literally cannot believe you get space to publish this drivel, it must he hard what with there TWO Davids to confuse yourself with. I bet you’re good at jigsaw puzzles too ;)

    • Steveo1987 says:

      I bet you’re not. :daumen:

    • Essexian76 says:

      Scotty only giving 50%? that’s about right for a team only half as good as Spurs and in an inferior league-what’s the problem?

    • Spurstacus says:

      You are forever blowing aren’t you? Forever bubbles doesn’t make sense does it? Surely you should have called yourself ForeverBlowingUnited. Accurate and apt?

      • Twitchy face says:

        That’s well funny, did you come up with that yourself? You should be a comedian, sorry nob

      • Essexian76 says:

        Yeah, I like that-‘I’m forever blowing Tottenham’,got a historical ring to it, don’t you think? Gives ’em something to chew on.

    • LosLorenzo says:

      Good point, knuckle-dragger. It really matters to the overall point being made, which one of your two low-life scum, smut-peddling owners it was who spouted this drivel. Bringing this crap up five months after the transfer became history would have been petty and pointless, if only HH had mentioned the right name. But he mixed the two spineless scuzzballs up, so the point is rendered moot.

      And how dare the best player in the Premier League last season (as voted by football writers) and England regular Scotty Parker even dream that he’s too good to be playing in the Championship; and that he should be allowed to go to a BIGGER, BETTER, less ineptly run club!?! The very nerve of the man.

      You’ve got bubbles for brains, the lot of you…

  • ForeverBubblesUnited says:

    Haha trash

  • chris canning town says:

    You needed a west ham man to sort your club out and the ICF to refurb your pubs sham you didnt get olympic stadium it would have been interesting watching you fans being chased around the east end everytime you played

  • Alfiex says:

    chris canning why do I get the feeling you are aged between 7 and 16. I would actually not mind west ham as a club if it wasn’t for their silly jumped up ‘fans’.

    • dc says:

      So west ham fans are ‘jumped-up’ or “suddenly risen in significance” – doest that include the 34,746 supporters who watched the Barnsley game or the 34,936 who watched Coventry or the 6,000+ who travelled away to Coventry?

      Projection: a psychological defence mechanism where a person subconsciously denies their own attributes by ascribing them to the outside world

      • LosLorenzo says:

        Heard of supply and demand?

        Of course you haven’t…

        It is the fundamental law of economics (that one you can look up on your own time). It dictates that supply, demand and price are interdependent. In short, if you lower the price of a product or service, the number of people willing to buy it will increase.

        So. How much did tickets to the Barnsley and Coventry games cost? And how many of those just under 35.000 tickets would have been sold if the average ticket cost £40 (like ours do)?

        You probably didn’t understand that. It’s alright, neither do your owners…

        • dc says:

          Re: “Of course you haven’t”
          “You probably didn’t understand that”

          In contrast, one could argue that only someone ‘jumped up’ would presume that someone they’ve never met before hasn’t heard of supply and demand.

          Thanks for the lesson Lorenzo

        • LosLorenzo says:

          So you haven’t heard of sarcasm either. I’ll leave that one for someone else to explain.

        • dc says:

          But you do it so well!

        • LosLorenzo says:

          But since you apparently have a deep understanding of supply and demand, you will surely admit that selling 35K seats at on average £5 each isn’t really all that impressive, and doesn’t imply massive amounts of support for your little pub team?

          No? You won’t admit that?

          Well then I still maintain that you don’t really understand supply and demand. Or don’t want to understand. Not sure which would make you seem a bigger mug.

          Trying to deflate our perfectly valid points about your little team, based on irrelevant minutiae in the syntax and rhetorical quality of our posts makes you seem that much more of a mug.

        • dc says:

          Inferiority complex – often manifests itself through a false sense of superiority. Arsenal have well and truly screwed your brains up over the years.

          Everything is temporary (particularly in football) – enjoy the good days while they last – Crow on Cockerel!

        • Spurstacus says:

          Everything is temporary…

          Except your own mediocrity of course.

        • LosLorenzo says:

          Spammer telling me I’ve got an inferiority complex. Now I’ve heard everything.

        • dc says:

          Mediocre = that’s an absolute cracker!

          FACTS: Spurs last 12 years
          2001 12th; 2002 9th; 2003 10th; 2004 14th; 2005 9th; 2006 5th; 2007 5th; 2008 11th; 2009 8th; 2010 4th; 2011 5th.

          Average PL Finish: 7-8th / Honours 1 League Cup
          Form of an aspiring club – not one of the big boys.

          You guys really don’t get it. You’ve hardly been pulling up any trees. Yet you crow on. In the last 12 years you’ve won the League Cup! Well Cockadoodledoo!

        • dc says:

          Lorenzo

          It’s your mob that sings “Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur”

          Well lets see some Glory then – how about this year – no better time than the present – why don’t you just come out with it and tell everyone what you think Spurs will win this season?

          We all listen to Man Utd fans ‘crowing’ all the time. They do, however, have something to crow about!

          ps “Just like our dreams they fade and die” – is hardly a song for supporters who are ‘jumped-up’

        • LosLorenzo says:

          We started singing “Glory Glory” right after we’d become the the first team ever to win both the League and FA Cup in the same season. Besides, most Spurs fans interpret this song as reflecting our tradition of playing glorious, entertaining football, based in the roots of that ’61 Push and Run team; not so much about winning (although I’ll get back to that in a mo’). You lot wouldn’t know beautiful football if is bit you in the nuts.

          Since your founding in 1900 you have NEVER won the top domestic league. Not even been runners up.

          We were the first English side to win a European Cup.

          While we have a long history of breaking boundaries you have a long history of uninterrupted mediocrity.

          You write with all the perspective of a 12-year-old, so you may be surprised to know that football started before the brief period you decided to look up on Google.

          I never called anyone “jumped-up”, so I don’t know why you keep repeating it at me.

          I do, however, find it delightfully ironic that a fan of a tiny little team, such as yourself, has the audacity of crawling out of his/her troglodyte cave onto a Spurs blog – there proceeding to accuse people of having inferiority complexes (@1:45) and simultaneously talking about projection (@12:28). Who has the inferiority complex? :hae:

        • LosLorenzo says:

          And while on the topic of songs. You sing a song about blowing a former player, Billy J. “Bubbles” Murray . What is that all about?

        • Essexian76 says:

          ‘Arsenal really screwed our brains over the past few years’The Man say’s, which begs the question as to how our attendances have increased and our fan has never been stronger-perhaps it’s a football thang-perhaps it’s a loyalty thang-perhaps it’s a Tottenham thang?, but it sure as hell ain’t no West Ham thang-capacity crowds at Upton Park? I think not!

          Dear Mr. Academia (Lorenzo)

          1 – re: “jumped up” I was replying to “Alfiex” not YOU – YOU trunked in (as you seem to like using the word YOU YOU YOU)

          2 – I’m on a spurs blog because the article is about West Ham (so maybe it’s YOU guy’s who have the obsession with us)

          3 – in terms of inferiority complex – its easy to recognise – it normally comes from people like YOU who automatically call people ‘a mug’ or claim they are ‘crawling out of a troglodyte cave’

          Don’t worry though mate – I know it all stems from Low Self-Esteem so it doesn’t bother me.

          Anyhow, I hope you guys have a good season and keep talking about us
          God Bless

        • Twitchy face hater says:

          Is this bloke for real. What a bell end trying to show off that he’s clever (hint: he just looks it upon the net).
          If you read the interview and not the headlines you’ll see that GS just responds to questions asked in an honest fashion. He doesn’t criticise spurs or Parker just confirming to the fans why we had no choice but to sell in the end. Why you all start fuming is so weird, maybe you should concentrate on what you’re going to do when the manager leaves and all your hard works undone or why your chairman only got in old stars when there was a chance to win the league. We don’t care about you so why do you care about us, you got loads to talk about with redknapp in the paper all the time
