Barratt helicopters will be buzzing up and down Green Street tomorrow. Floorplans for Boleyn Mansions are being drawn up as we speak.
Cue the orchestra. Karren Brady sits at her spinning wheel offering her elixir of youth. Sullivan and Gold step forward and sip from our chalice of doom.
This will end in tears, mark my words!
Blimey, you'll be breaking the news that they brought down the Berlin wall next. You knob.
ReplyDeleteThey did. I was there. New Year's Eve, December 1989. Fireworks at the Brandenburg Gate. Me, my wife and our 6 week old daughter at the centre of history. Took 36 hours to get there on a train and 36 hours to get back. We were only in Berlin for 36 hours but it was an unforgetable experience. Thanks for reminding me! And we were in the West Bank BEFORE the wall went up. And we've walked on the Great Wall of China, and been to the Wailing Wall. I've also eaten Walls Ice Cream. What a load of walls!
ReplyDeleteBet you thought Beelzebub was available on a Bosman 1908!
ReplyDeleteYou must be in your 40s then hammersfan?
ReplyDeleteSadly I'm even older now! Just!
ReplyDeleteSh!t, really? Why do you come across as an ignorant, ill-educated, immature teenager then? I look at you in an even sadder light now. Poor old man.
ReplyDeleteHF, I'm sure as a pedantic pratt you would have corrected someone who wrote what you have here. Actually, like me, you was in the massive crowd of that New Years Eve that celebrated the fall of the wall on 9th November, a night I also enjoyed with optimism "At the centre of history"!!
ReplyDeleteSo you have a 21 year daughter. Bit sad then your other posts when you imply your fantasies about shagging young girls, don't you think? Does your presumably lovely daughter and her mates know of your web life and comments?
ReplyDelete2238 When do I imply having fantasies about shagging young girls? Women in their mid twenties, yes. And who says they are fantasies?
ReplyDelete2201. I was but you were. A basic grammar error which, being a pedantic pratt, I am duty bound to pick up.
I couldn't be there on the 9th of November, my daughter was due on the 15th of November! She was born on the 16th and has Berlin as a middle name to commemorate what was happening at the time of her birth. As I said, we travelled for the New Year's Eve celebrations. The wall was still up, we still had to go through a checkpoint to get into East Berlin, the Trabants were still belching exhaust down virtually traffic free roads in the East and we witnessed an amazing changing of the guard at the tomb of the unnamed warrior in the East, with the watching crowd applauding and the East German soldiers breaking into huge smiles ONCE they saw their officer smiling. It was a special experience.
On the return journey, we were on a train with somebody coming back from Romania, who had witnessed first hand the revolution to remove Caucescu. He was taken off the train at the border of East and West, and he looked a very frightened man when he was escorted from the train by armed East German soldiers. Before disappearing, he told us some fascinating inside stories about what had been happening in Romania.
So your correction was incorrect. Nevertheless, it must have been very special to be there on the 9th of November. Why were you out there?
"Who says they are fantasies?", your daughter and wife must be so proud, but I guess they are clueless to this little blog of yours and it's content
ReplyDeleteWho says they are not fantasies?
ReplyDeletecan i just ask every west ham fan that visits this site. do you want to stay at upton park and be a nothing club or move to a big new stadium and maybe become one of the top teams of english football. i know what i want and thats to become one of the best teams in english football. coyi
ReplyDeleteThe club will go from owning an appreciating asset guessing worth 100 million with 100 million debt, to renting an expensive stadium that is far too big with no debt. Either way no money for players, which is what counts.
ReplyDeleteMy only concern is that it is points in the premier league that is needed short term or the long term won't matter. I would rather here about Sullivan & Gold searching Europe for cheap quality players that can get us out relegation. I'm really not interested in long term stadium plans when the club is heading for the fizzy league.
At the end of the day the players are the products we sell and for the club to be devoted to finding a lovely display cabinet for the products when the products we have aren't good enough doesn't make sense to me.
Who knows where West Ham will go, but it could very easily be relegated, be forced to sell Upton Park to clear the debts and we could end up renting Mile End Stadium in the Conference League.
