West Ham's Perfect Day - Well Nearly!

Southampton lost, Leeds lost, Hull lost, Leicester drew, Middlesborough drew, Blackpool drew, Birmingham drew, even Millwall edged closer to relegation whilst taking two points off of Palace. Only Cardiff let the side down by beating Forest, otherwise we would have been the only side in the top half to take maximum points!

I keep saying that Doctor Evil has signed a pact with the Devil. Perhaps that's why he sounded so depressed after yesterday's game. Perhaps he caught a sight of his reflection, Omen style, and saw a hammer crashing down on the back of his skull. Perhaps his mobile rang and a sinister voice said, "I'm fulfilling my side of the bargain, remember your soul is mine". Perhaps the significance of the retired number 6 shirt registered at the final whistle as Allardyce looked up and saw three pictures of Bobby Moore, 666, the sign of the Beast, the birthmark hidden beneath Sam's unnatural mop of hair!

Apart from the injury to Baldock, yesterday truly was a wonderful day as we bid for an immediate return to the Premiership. Cardiff may only be 3 points behind us but as Sam pointed out, they have played one game more. And, if we are honest, we don't see them as a genuine threat do we?

In fact, what team in this division should worry us? Name me a Premiership quality player in the entire division! Name me a team that makes you think, shit, on a good day, they could be a bit special. This is a truly mediocre division, so mediocre that our mediocre team can string three victories together whilst playing crap football.

Allardyce is rewriting Animal Farm as we watch. All teams are mediocre but some teams are more mediocre than others!

  4. LOL Thanks for the correction guys. Hanging my head in shame. I blame the signing of O'Brien at right back and the Official Site which is the Claret and Blue Ministry of Truth! Mediocrity is Genius!

  7. HF are you saying that unless you see a player play live you can't get he whole picture? Next you'll be telling us that highlights don't tell you the whole story of a game either!
