Us English love Christmas
Pudding. Given we only eat it once a year, it becomes ever so more precious.
Why pudding? The less you eat it the more you appreciate it. I’m tired of
complaining Hammers supporters. Try living over the pond. Now, some of many benefits of
living 4,000 miles away from Upton Park include:
- You start to realize there are a finite number of Hammers games you get to live for.
- The only Spurs supporters over here are actually nice.
- You don’t have to sit in a pub with 70 odd miserable England fans complaining again and again
- People away from England, who like football, are actually interested in a club with history.
- If you have a WHU tattoo people think you were
consulted in the filming of Green Street Hooligans.
Who are ya, who are ya...!
It’s been a tough new year for
the Irons and the regulars are swinging the lead and demanding change.
Interestingly, the entertaining owners, Gold and Sullivan, have put their faith
in Big Sam, despite a rock bottom defeat at the hands of a slightly above
average Championship team, Forest. Losing to potential Premier League
relegation fodder added fuel to the fire for many supporters given the result, number
of youth players selected and the lack of support for the youth by the seniors
on the field. Villa’s Lambert questioned the usefulness of the FA Cup and
subsequently was handed a well deserved defeat in the third round. Comparing
Villa with West Ham is simply wrong, but it suits the media to do so, and some
supporters. Interestingly, a formal
description of a “supporter’ includes these words”
advocate, advocator, apostle, backer, booster, champion,expounder, espouser, friend, gospeler (or gospeller),herald, hierophant, high
priest, paladin, promoter,
proponent, protagonist, exponent, true believer, tub-thumper, white
knight

Given the comments on the WHU
facebook page it looks like Thatcher’s Britain is well and truly alive – and the
traditional East London “underdog” spirit is long gone. Bottom line, if you don’t
like it, don’t pay the money to watch it. Getting your pounds back after a poor
performance? Go support a team that can buy success, like Manchester City. You’ll
be happier in the long run.
OK. Let’s move on. Here’s an
inadequate summary of 2013.

an antidote for civilization.
That’s right
David. ‘I follow Legend”
