Wet Spam goes down quite easily
February 12 - 2007
42 points. 42 points. The most any team had ever earned on their way down to the Championship. I remember standing in front of the television, tears in my eyes, applauding my beloved Hammers as they waved goodbye to the Upton Park faithful. Yes, they were going down, but they were going down in style.
This year, the Hammers will be going down again, but with more of a Britney Spears feel to it. They are an absolute mess. If quality were panties, they too would be gracing the tabloid pages with all angles of their undercarriage exposed.
Rather than try and sum up the profound sadness and disgust I’m feeling, I’ll let commenters on the very excellent fan site Knees Up Mother Brown do it for me. As always, the KUMB-forum doubles as both West Ham pulse-checker and creative Cockney swearing guide.
We lost to faaaaaaacking Watford. It is over. - K-R-C
Curbishley can go f*ck off as can that spineless maggott (Etherington), that useless c*nt (Zamora), and the new Lomas (Quashie). Sick of all things West Ham at the moment. -Marky
Someone tell etherington that the white line means off because the cu*t keeps running it out of play. -reo_coker20
The fans. None of the other f*ckwads deserve the steam off my sh*t. -Tonka Tonka (in reference to ‘Who should be Hammer of the Year?’)
Ahhhh…East London poetry.
When Ashton broke his ankle, I remember thinking ‘Damn, that’s going to hurt West Ham big-time. They don’t get him back until November? That’s really going to make replicating this past season’s form really hard. I’m not sure they can hold off until then.”
Funny how I could be so wrong and so right at the same time.

I keep holding on to the Ashton situation as the explanaition for the Hammer’s woes…but that’s only because they’ve tried EVERYTHING else. It’s all I’ve got left.
