Sam set for ‘Strictly ‘2017’ and a dubious night out

pete 2
Welcome to the wacky world of CandH’s off the wall blogger Pete Ellis taking his regular sideways lookat the Hammers week that was!
West Ham were put to the sword (again) this week, and anyone that likes a bet could have told you who the architect of our doom would be.
Yes the man that David Sullivan publicly stated could not pass a medical at West Ham (that’ll be a first btw) came to the soccer bowl and lead his team to a solid 3-0 win.
Not since the Paralympic Games of 2012 has the stadium seen such a great performance from someone with a disability. Good one Dave…..
While Mr Austin was no doubt enjoying a “knees up” on the coach back to St Mary’s, things were not quite as rosy for our former manager Mr Sam HasAPrice.
As someone that has always admired this humble, exciting, forward thinking people person of a manager, I could not help feel a tinge of sadness as the way he was tucked up.
In his defence, when you have a business meal, your guests often use the phrase “to the left a bit please, the lighting is better” or perhaps the old ” can you move a bit closer to the pepper pot I didn’t quite catch that”.
Yep, these rogues did a number on the poor unsuspecting England boss, although in fairness, even Big Sam should have been wary when you give your order to the waiter, only to be greeted by a grinning Dominic Littlewood with pen in hand….
There’s no sadder sight than 150 boxes of pork scratchings being removed from Soho Square….
On the plus side, he’s already a 3/1 favourite for strictly 2017….
Anyway, good luck in your new career Sam, just remember, when people say large fries, they don’t want small fries in a large box. Remember that and you’ll be fine.
Randolph and Carroll.
Nope, it’s not a new crime drama “Dave” it’s the  duo that went on the beers this week after Slav ordered a team bonding session.
People are as furious and as amused in equal measure.
Personally I don’t think it’s ever a wise move, as win lose or draw people will always want to pick holes on young multi millionaires out of jealousy. Equally, it’s not like either of them would be piloting a plane or driving a bus later that day.
Probably not a smart move, but also not one that should get them sent to Guantanamo Bay just yet.
Anyway, here’s to a 6-0 win for West Ham today (Sat) …..Or another week of getting ripped to pieces by fans of other clubs that’s all seemed to be in hibernation during the 2015/16 season.
How times change eh?
COYI!!!!
