All Over For Boa


It looks as if Luis may have played his last game for the club, with his contract expiring at the end of this season and his injury likely to keep him out until the summer. I am not going to be hypocritical here and pretend I am deeply upset by this news. The brutal fact is that Boa was never good enough to play for West Ham. Yes he was full of endeavour but that, I am afraid, does not compensate for a slow brain, blinkered eyesight and clumsy feet. I have never booed the guy and never would, but I have never rated him either. His record for the club is frankly appalling.

The big question I would like answered is whether his wages will now be paid by an insurance scheme. It was bad enough paying the guy to perform, at best, indifferently; the idea of shelling out £55k a week for him to share a treatment room with Beano is too sickening to contemplate. Knowing Boa, he will trip over, fall into Beano and set back Primadeano's recovery a further six months!

Still, as crap as he is, you have to admire the guy's optimism. I loved the comment, "I had many hopes this season, including the World Cup," he continued. "But this injury has made things very difficult for Carlos Queiroz to call me up for the final squad if we qualify." In truth Luis, not playing is probably your best hope of getting a late call up!

Boa Morte has actually been included in the last few Portgual squads and was liked by Queiroz, so it is a blow to his, genuine, world cup hopes.

Thanks for that 2057, though I did already know. He was pulled off after 45 minutes in his come back game against Albania - Portugal went on to win after Luis had been withdrawn.

The fact that LBM is out for the season is hardly a blow for West Ham now is it? He has been absolutely shit for us and I for one will be glad to see the back of him. Love the covering picture for this article, very funny and very apt.

£55K per week is a lot of sympathy

No you haven't booed him on the terraces but you've 'booed' him through this blog (which is your right of course). Now that he's down and he's out,it's time to stop kicking him.

Thanks Duxbury's, I laughed when I found the pic. It is so Boa, except the donkey looks a little on the slim side!

all the best boa, i respect the way you faced down the boo boys, always wanted to wear the shirt and never dissed the club. Didn't have the best time on the pitch with us but was finding form recently. We can't applaud losing a Portuguese international and proven prem player when the squads so thin on the ground.

The copyrighted pictures you are stealing and using illegally should be brought to the notice of the owners along with the company logos you plagiarise for the same purpose. Wonder what Goggle Blogger would make of it if it were brought to there attention?

If you bring it to their attention, please spell "their" correctly or they will think an idiot is communicating with them. As all the images are sourced through Google, I have no idea what their attitude would be. Perhaps, if it was an issue, they would close down Google image search.
