A new dawn?..

At present West Ham have lost twice in eight games and are in the semi final of the league cup. It feels like a momentous change to the season and maybe supporters of other teams would be pleased. We’re not, we know we’ll probably lose at Sunderland on Sunday and start the run of form we are used to.

This is the type of negativity that is instilled in me as a life long (forced) West Ham fan. Any glimmer of hope is quickly darkened by some cloud of doom. If the Chilean miners were West Ham fans they would have probably topped themselves in the first few hours, before the food had even run out.

It seems like a lot of supporters are unaware that association football games are scheduled to run for ninety official minutes, with some extra time thrown in on top. I understand frustration at the football at West Ham, but do these people really have somewhere that pressing to get too a birth, or a funeral?

A child being born will no doubt be indoctrinated with the unending love (with equal amounts of loathing) for West Ham and understand their parents lateness. A Funeral on a Saturday is a rare event, never mind on Wednesday night. Even so, if the recently departed was West Ham, they’d have understood and would be annoyed at the funeral schedulers tactless planning. If not, fuck ‘em, miss the service and go for the drinks after, much less depressing.

I have a feeling that it’s none of these things – these people want to miss the rush for the train and no doubt get home so they can wank off to X Factor or some other smut. Appalling cretins.
