Czech's Mate!

So what is it about West Ham exactly? There were rumours at the weekend about Di Michele, Carlton Cole has been done for drink driving, Tristan has picked up a driving ban for having too many shandies before crashing his Porsche into a taxi, and now Kovac has been banned from the Czech national team for "dining out" after an international defeat. Do we perhaps have a "Blackpool Society" in the club where players try to emulate the "West Ham Four led by Bobby Moore"?

Still, at least Kovac seems to have a little bit more class than the others. There can't be many West Ham players who have been disciplined for "dining". Urinating on a bar, yes, getting into a brawl outside a nightclub, yes, boozing into the early hours before a 4-0 thumping to bottom of the table opponents in the FA Cup, yes, drink driving, yes, a knife wound after a bit of how's your father with a team mate, yes, stealing a bracelet in Bogota, yes, a bit of drug running after you've hung up your boots, yes, but having a MEAL out with your mates after a game? Dear God, he will be reading a book next!
