Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Could This Signing Save The Hammer’s Season?

Grim time to be a West Ham fan.

Whilst their coalition with Newham Council looks to edge Tottenham’s in relation to the Olympic Leagacy, it must be beyond damaging to their bid to be languishing at the foot of the table.

West Ham’s next game is at home to Wigan and frankly if they can’t justify some optimism after that game then they may as well throw the towel in altogether.

Hope springs eternal of course and in football things can happen overnight. Salvation is often only a fax machine away.

Srdan Lakic is the name in the frame. He’s Croatian and currently plays for German side Kaiserslautern but it is widely understood he’d prefer to move on.

And at only £2M it might make sense to not spend that on a settlement package for Avram, but give this season one last thrash.
