Is it only me or others getting hacked of at the media wall to wall love in for West Ham's last game at the Boleyn ground? I know it means a huge amount to their fans but I suspect it means bugger all to nearly all of the fans of the other 91 clubs. However, to judge by the sports and non sports coverage today, you'd think this was a major topic of conversation in the football world and society in general. I'm sure when Bolton left Burnden Park, when Huddersfield left Leeds Road and when Derby left the Baseball Ground it meant as much to their fans but I don't quite recall this level of national coverage. It wouldn't be so bad if WHU had not been the beneficiary of an outrageous deal that takes them to the Olympic stadium for basically sod all, with all the future benefits it will clearly bring them. David Sullivan and the Gold brothers, fine bunch of lads.
