The gift that keeps on giving are of cause West Ham United and what better targets to sharpen our cyber tongues upon? My thanks to the highly esteemed for the suggestion.

Good morning. We moan about the InterLull, but it’s actually been quite eventful. We discovered that football is Clan run and …I was told to remove my blog on those leaked online documents on Arry & the CPS by the Metropolitan Police. Undaunted, here’s some more dirt for your delectation. Karren Brady has been banging the hard done by drum with gusto for sometime now. But events in the High Court this week indicate that she may have something to complain about. Brady’s barristers believe that her telephone records were, ‘unlawfully obtained by subterfuge.’  At a time where phone hacking…

Good morning. Coming over here taking all our £100 a week jobs, paying tax, spending money in local economies like water… The list goes on. So I hear you’re a racist now Father? When life imitates a Father Ted sketch you know you’ve switched on a flashing neon sign marked TILT somewhere, don’t you? Well you would if you weren’t born Joseph S Blatter. Sepp Blagger has a terrifying disease. So unchecked is his greed he can’t help but elbow himself to the front of any queue he sees. In his damaged mind if there are people standing in line…

Levy & Co have announced their intentions to de-list THFC from the Alternative Investment Market. So what does this actually mean? If I could predict the future I’d be tipperty tapping this on my yacht. But I’ll give you my interpretation at what’s shaking.

First up I’ll guess that most of you reading this either own no shares (like me) or a token ‘one’ for souvenir purposes. Well you have two choices here. You can keep the certificate as permanent souvenir forever – it is after all yours, or you can effectively sell it back to THFC. The costs of trading one or a very small quantity of shares may prove prohibitiv

Good morning. I tell you what the old Interlull is really building up a head of steam now. In a bid to trump the trending inertia the Welsh blazed an innovative trail by booing something that hadn’t actually happened, is unlikely to take place and if it ever did would have no effect upon anybody anyway. Come on, that is stellar Interlull behaviour. Scott Parker won the ‘Greatest Player From A Bygone Era To Win A World Cup Final’ as Engerland beat Johnny Foreigner in a comprehensive 1-0 thrashing of another football team killing time before a real game of…

We hear that Timothy Sherwood is being groomed for greatness, gawdelpus. We hear that Pleaty is returned to the fold. All of this would carry far less weight if our beloved Arry wasn’t a) being openly courted by the media for the England manager’s job and b) off to court shortly with a question mark over a custodial sentence hanging over his loaf. This got me thinking about who ought be the next man for the job. I tend to develop narcolepsy when well meaning folk start shouting out ‘Mourinho!’ or ‘Ancelotti!’ like the have twisted strain of Tourettes Syndrome.…

Good afternoon. I was in a bustling city centre this morning. I watched a taxi driver get out of his cab on the rank, stand proudly his hands behind his back next to his vehicle where he stood for the minutes silence. Around him far, far too many went about there business; yakking and social networking their utterly worthless piffle into an assortment of hand- held devices. I would guess by the look of the taxi driver that his lineage wasn’t what our old pals at the BNP would view as wholly indigenous of these shores. Moments like that at provide…

Good morning. What’s in name? In a age where players’ are queuing round the block to see osteopaths and physios due to agrevated bouts of heading turning, accusations of race hate and the sinister world of roasting, a name or specifically your good name is quite possibly the only thing of value left in the game. Players reveal just how good their name or how mud-like it is in a variety of ways. Parking in a disabled space when out for a meal, getting arrested for sexually assaulting a girl, shooting an intern, getting addicted to any variety of drugs… Newcastle…

Good morning members of the jury. You’ll recall Sunday Times a while back exposed the fact that West Ham and the OPLC were accused of shall we call it a conflict of interest. Specifically that WHFC they had commissioned the paid services of an OPLC employee to assist with their application to win the Olympic Stadium Raffle. The Sunday Times were led to believe by the ‘investigators’ that they spoke to that payments were made into the back account of the OPLC employee, Dionne Knight. The payments came from an account operated by Naughty Knickers Of Newham Ltd T/A West…
