The World Cup Starts At 3PM Today


Well the nonsense of the opening ceremony is out of the way, and we have negotiated three relatively pointless fixtures so far. None of South Africa, Mexico, France, Uruguay, South Korea or Greece are going to win the World Cup are they?

The quality of football so far has been dire. Greece and France were both awful, completely devoid of ambition. The failure of France to exploit the ability of Ribery and Malouda was shameful. The failure of Greece to come out and attack, even when a goal behind, is so typical of their depressing attitude to the game. The sooner they go home the better! Sorry Sav!

Mexico and South Africa both gave it a go, but they are not much cop are they? Uruguay are Uruguay. They were happy with the draw and I wouldn't bet against them drawing the next two.

South Korea have looked the best side so far which says it all. The World Cup starts when Argentina take the field this afternoon. I'm cheering on Nigeria! Prediction: 1-1.

Oops. I predict 6-0! 1-0 after six minutes and it should be 3 already!

Why bthe picture of a gorilla hammersfan please tell????

Hammersfan said...

He is yawning! It's all been one big bore so far. I'm assuming there are gorilla's in South Africa.

Hammersfan said...

Please excuse the rogue apostrophe in gorillas above.

So you are talking about Nigeria and showing a gorilla. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Hammersfan said...

Hmmm it would take a terrible racist to even THINK of that. I didn't!

Not at all. You ar either Ignornat or a racist and trying to cover it up by calling me that. I have told you before my wife is from Uganda.

Hammersfan said...

LOL This is the Ugandan Jewess who prays to Allah and wears a Crucifix! As I said before, you sir are an idiot, and given the link you made between a yawning gorilla (to head an article about how pointless the World Cup has been so far) and Nigeria, you would appear to be a racist too. Try putting "Big Yawn" into Google Image search and see if this picture comes up for you as it did for me.

My wife is from Uganda her name is Motekwana and i am Jewish from Stamford Hill and My real named is Richard. Whats so hard to believe about that???? My wife is a devoted Muslim I fail to see why the abuse Mr Racist Hammersfan

Hammersfan said...

And wasn't your sister a Hindu the last time you posted? Please keep in mind that it was YOU who associated a gorilla with a Nigerian, not me! Have you tried the Google search for Big Yawn?

Godwin said...

Richard you are a racist to make that connection. I am Nigerian and would not have made the connection at all. Nigeria is barely mentioned in the article. When I see a gorilla I think of a gorilla not of an African man. The fact that you make the connection is worrying if you truly have a Ugandan wife.

Godwin said...

We will fight back and draw the game by the way.

Godwin no chance in hell Nigeria look like west ham last season bloody awful. Hammersfan yes my sister is a Hindu so what

Hammersfan said...

I think I will allow Godwin to have the last word on the matter actually. I think he hits the nail squarely on the head. as I remember it, you also admitted to being a member of the BNP. You are a racist buffoon!

Yes I am a member of the BNP as I like their imigrtion policy thats all. Next Election i will be voting UKIP.

Hammersfan said...

Good job they didn't win the last election. Had they done so, there would be no "next election". I do not believe a word you say; I think you a racist wind up artist but your stupidity renders you absolutely harmless.

Hammersfan said...

The gift that keeps on giving, namely this season’s owners at Upton Park, have been at it again.You can almost picture David Sullivan sat in his threadbare office at The Boleyn.

With his Panatella knocking out only marginally less heat than his electric fan heater, mental military style coat on, fully buttoned up, our hero is sipping champagne out of a polystyrene cup.

Strewn across his desk an eye watering plethora of jazz mags, Panini World cup stickers and abandoned Kinder Surprise toys with their plastic shells, instruction sheets screwed up into tiny balls.

He is talking into a novelty telephone of which the piece to his ear is half a hamburger. He squints as he surveys the lush green of the pitch through the half open Venetian blinds. He is every inch, an emperor. He talks confidently into the replica seeded bun…

“I like Beckham and I do not rule it out he can become a West Ham player next season. David knows the area well. Owns a house near where he trains the team. We are looking at more than 50 players, but in the end will only register for 4 or 5″

As he solemnly replaces the receiver he thinks of Alexander. He too wept when he saw the breadth of his domain as he realized that there were no more worlds for him to conquer.

Sullivan places his mad Russian style faux fur hat on, unsteadily rises to his feet and strides across the room, to reveal he is not wearing any trousers. His socks are held up with traditional garters. A slipstream of cigar smoke and the exits through the door which is one of those ones you used to get on old bookies and dirty book shops, made of multi-coloured plastic ribbons.

Quite what the ex Manchester United star will make of this when he finds out about this plan is beyond me. Beckham, has been pretty much constantly linked with a swansong return to the Premiership virtually every season since he left it.

Tottenham Hotspur’s name has been frequently in this particular frame as they have just about more form than anyone for taking on and getting good results from aging legends. Curiously this is the first time West Ham have been linked with such a frankly ambitious move. That said, they have recently expressed interest in Henry, Van Nistleroy and Cole.

It's difficult to know how the new owners will top this one. Perhaps they’ll replace Rob Green with Cliff Richard

HF @ 14:53... No Gorillas in South Africa mate! Their very sparse and decreasing numbers, thought to be 700 max, are only restricted to small pockets in the protected National Parks of Uganda, Rwanda and Congo.

Shame. Wonderful creatures.
