Upson Focused Only On The World Cup! We Would Never Have Guessed!


West Ham "captain" Matty Upson has told the OS how he would be "bitterly disappointed" not to be on the plane to South Africa. Well quel surprise! Some of us have had the impression that he has been "looking after himself" all season, putting self preservation ahead of the needs of the team. How many times were Tomkins or Da Costa asked to look after the opposition's main man whilst Upson marked...well nobody in particular!

“We are looking to the World Cup and my biggest focus is that right now,” said Upson. “That is the only thing I am thinking about. Hopefully I will go and get on the plane and experience the World Cup. It could be great.”

The question is, when exactly did he say that? This week? Or back in January, November or even last August?

You plebs - you uneducated fools - I really don't know what's wrong with the idiots that visit here. 90% of you don't appreciate the effort that I put in - what is wrong with you people, did none of you visit school?

but I do appreciate the effort! In an England shirt, I think Upson has proved himself a reliable back- up whereas Dawson, although possibly a better player- i don't know my attention was too caught up in last season's turmoil at West Ham to make a reasoned judgement- hasn't been in a full England squad(??.) There's an argument that introducing new boys on the eve of a tournament is no bad thing- but generally I think this works best with attacking players-Geoff Hurst for example. Still, thus far Capello has got the big decisions right; if he picks Dawson he'll probably be right too.

is it a coincidence that an anagram of dagenham and redbridge is Haggard Bedridden Men?

I read a lot of WHU blogs and sites. Many are good.Some are awful. This is by FAR the funniest. While I am at times a bit put off by some comments, I always take them with a grain of coarse salt. Maybe white pepper as well. Cilantro?

I digress.

HF, your work, effort, and passion is appreciated on my side of the pond.

Cheers US Dave. If you are ever over this sind of the pond, give me a shout. We could have a beer and take in a game. Where in the States are you?

Hammersfan Alter Ego, that really isn't very nice you know. You will have to try harder to pass yourself off as me though. I only insult readers on a selective basis.

Kevin, you appear to have been taken in by my alter ego who is now posting comments under the Hammersfan name as well. Or maybe not.
