Rush Green…..08:37.….’Nam….Dag’nam….
The clouds loped by, resembling bath bubbles, some fluffy, some gradually succumbing to the water…..broken, transparent. Scars of white streaking the sky as aircraft eagerly bid to reach their destination. Pockets of blue intermingled with threatening dark cloud. A mixed bag if ever there were one.
Slav surmised this scene from his office window. The sky mirrored his team. So much potential, glimpses of brilliant light, yet the dark side never far, threatening to ruin it all.
Removing his left eyeball, he dropped it into a glass of neat vodka. The harsh London air had been playing havoc with his eyes these last few week, causing soreness and swelling around the eyelids. At the same time another 3 hairs drifted from his head onto the desk. He knew that soon he would have to contemplate shaving his head. He made a note on his phone to consult Jules.
Slav clicked onto his favourites from his browser page and went to the club site. At the same time he put his eyeball back in and downed the shot of vodka from the glass. Taking his 14th cigarette that morning he perused the title pages to see what the headlines were. “12 days of Christmas”. This intrigued him, to see 3 of his players in a video clip.
He clicked on it.
The sight of his Goalkeeper, Captain and new signing dressed up and signing with fans angered him. “Fools”! he smashed his fist on the desk.
No time to earn 9 points over the last 3 games, but time to sing a ridiculous song, with lyrics written, evidently, by a demented 90 year old.
This would not go unpunished…..
Sully Towers…..09:09…..Somewhere tasteful in Essex…..
Across town Sully Towers was in full Christmas mode, preparing for the big day.
Sully’s show maker “Gock” was in residence, resoling 3 of the esteemed leaders 7inch Cuban heels.
“Marta”, the housekeeper of questionable heritage, was fluffing Sully’s hats and applying goose fat for the impending cold weather to the lining of Sully’s coats.
The cheeky Sully boys were regaling the twitterati with some hilarious tales and providing the begging public with some of their expert football knowledge and insight.
Upstairs, the “Do not disturb” sign was on Sully’s bedroom door. The household knew to never go near when this was in place.
The sounds coming from that room would chill a hardened SAS veteran. Screaming, whaling, power tools, lashes. Marta rolled her eyes and knew the clean-up job would be immense.
Around the same time Brody’s Benz’ pulled across the mammoth gravelled drive.
The crunch under tyre caught Sully’s attention, even though he was wearing a gimp mask and snorkel. Years of experience to hear predators at the door had honed his sense. He leapt to the window, forgetting the chain that was tightly affixed to his scrote, “ARGHHH” came the yelp, “Yew bleedin arfwit, wos’ up wiya?!” snarled Mrs S, who herself was struggling to contain the Goat and Hamsters. Sully reached for the curtains and saw the shapely toned thigh of a Russian Shot-putter emerge from the back seat, “Damn, what’s she doin’ ere!” cried Sully, “Quick , get this lot away, quick quick!” yelled sully. Feathers and lubricant scattered everywhere as Sully dived into the bathroom.
Brody knocked on the 16 foot medieval drawbridge door (replica). Brody rolled her eyes at the tackiness. It wasn’t a trip she had particularly wanted to make on Christmas Eve, but she felt the time was right to announce her departure from the club. She had completed the task asked of her. Stadia secured, now was the time to take the money and run before criticism ensued about the suitability of the stadium as a football venue, and the looming price increases despite earlier promises. She didn’t need that hassle.
Sully Jr, baseball cap on back to front smiled (a secret crush always bubbling under the pre-pubescent surface) opening the creaking monstrosity, “Erm, oh Hi Mrs Brody” came the broken and trembling response. “Is he in?” Brody curtly retorted, “Er, yes, er, he’s upstairs, I’ll get ‘im now”. Brody choked back a small bit of bile that rose in her throat. She knew what was happening if Sully was upstairs and Mrs S was nowhere to be seen. She just hoped there were no animals involved again….
Sully rushed down the stairs, dressing gown struggling unsuccessfully against the portly frame, his todger flapping hopelessly between milky thighs. Brody put her gloved hand to her mouth and turned her head to wretch. “My dear lady, to what do we owe this pleasure?” cheered a breathless Sully.
At the same time the traumatised goat had seen the door ajar and had made a similar bid for freedom. With a Santa’s hat strapped its head it lunged for the staircase, not caring for Sully’s precarious position mid stair flight.
Days later Sully would recollect flashbacks, occasional glimpses from those few seconds. He recalled a cold slimy feeling between his buttocks, and a snorting noise, before he then began to fly through the air. It was the aftermath that would cause the serious problems.
When brought round by the clubs physio, it became apparent he had landed on Brody’s head. His undercarriage straddling her face. One of her earrings had slashed his member, though luckily not deep enough to cause fatal damage.
Brody would be in a secure unit for weeks for the mental scarring.
Rush Green…..09:32
Slav had just returned to the office after a 4 hour beasting of the 3 aforementioned players. Nobel had been vomiting such was the physical demand placed on him, carrying The Spanish smiler on his back for 2 hours. However, the Spanish smiler was just as distraught. Slav had deleted his Instagram account and banned him from Twitter for 24 hours. The man was a mess. As for the 3rd guilty party, Slav couldn’t even remember his name, and this was insult enough to the poor lad.
Picking up the phone it was the physio. “Boss, 2 more casualties I’m afraid”, Slave smashed his first through the 60 inch LED screen on his wall “What da f**k?!” he screamed, “How can this fooking be???”….”No boss, you don’t understand, I’m at Chateau Sully. Its Sully and Brody, she’s’ unconscious with her head, literally, up Sully’s arse. His todger, well, let’s just say its a mess, god knows what she’s done to them. Mrs S is on the stairs dressed like a footballer, crying her eyes out, and as for the Goat and Hamster, Jesus boss I’ve never seen anything like it…..”
Slav’s gripped on the phone was no longer strong enough…it fell to the ground with a thud. All his energy and strength had shot to his brain, trying to scramble and make sense of what he had just heard. At the same time Mariah Carey struck up in the background describing how all she wanted for Christmas was “you”.
Slav looked back to the sky. The clouds were now dominating the skyline, their overbearing and weighty presence smothering all before them. He knew it was time to take drastic action. He lit his 34th cigarette of the day and picked the phone back up. Terminating the existing call he then dialled “3”….after just 2 rings it was answered with silence.
Slav knew this to be him, “My frend…it has been a while no?....”….silence again….”It is time my friend, it happens now” Slav’s gravelly and husky tones dripped into the mouth piece….”Yes my friend” came the calm response. Slav dialled off.
It was all he needed.
It was time.
They would now see the true power……………..
Merry Christmas ya’ filthy animals

Merry Christmas!
I know it's not football, but the people in Durham can't be about to have a happy Christmas being flooded twice in the last couple of weeks, and with more to come after just getting straight there is every chance Christmas Day will be under water. Now come on Cameron enough is enough stop giving foreign aid to countries that neither deserve or need it and hit this problem hard with some real cash! Anywhere in danger of flooding should be worked on and not just talked about. Cameron your duty is to the people of Britain first and foremost. Just do it!
Don't want to piss Nev off by saying. It was taken Boxing Day 79 v Brum game was called off. We played them late 80 Billy got sent of having a punch up with Colin Todd. They said Billy could have missed the final but the FA saw sense and let him
Play. I thought we brought the Charlton game forward that week so that was Billy
Game ban done so he could play in the final . Does anyone remember that or am
I losing the plot .

Not many loyal professionals around these days and a fitting tribute to a local boy in our final season at Upton Park. I will be going without a doubt and if any of you lot on here fancy meeting for a pint before the game then please shout.
I love this time of year. The grotesque advertising, force feeding and drinking our way to an overburdened NHS and sucking the social media teat until our mouths disintegrate into a pussy mess of flesh on the doorstep of history. But less of my household.
As we meander our way along our final season at our spiritual home, my mind begins to swim into the channel of the final straight. The realisation that remaining games will soon be in single digits.
I’ll miss the smell of fish and pee as I walk away from UP station, perusing the wonderful overflowing bins of Green St market, then negating the winding path through the estate of houses whom must so appreciate us on their doorstep.
Then the walk back from whence we came. Avoiding the bush that covers half the path whilst being berated by Police to stay away from the fence.
The more alert among you will have picked up on the fact that I’m not that enamoured with Upton Park. To be more specific, the journey from the tube door to the turnstile.
Once in the ground, however, my heart strings are pulled, wrapped round my head, and yanked from my chest. No other venue in the world evokes feelings in me the way the Boleyn does.
From my first visit in 1984 with Dad and Grandad, approaching the West stand and seeing men high in the air, smoke cigars and cigarettes whilst looking out onto the forecourt before them. The hum of conversation, the smell of alcohol (god bless Grandad) the scarfs and yelp of street sellers, the programme, the smell of the print in your hand. The cranky old turnstile, holding onto Dads hand tightly as the arena developed in front of my eyes like an island appearing in an oasis.
The concrete steps and chipped paintwork. The sporadic outbreak of song, the dirty jokes (god bless Grandad) the laughter, the sight of grown men happy and at home in this place. Knowing there was no other place they wanted to be.
The sighting of the first player running out to warm up. The way the guy standing in the chicken run in the most central spot opposite the tunnel with his coat draped over the stairway would straighten his back and clap. The tidal wave of noise reverberating around the ground, regardless of the player, more in recognition of the claret and blue making its way onto the hallowed turf, as it had done so many times.
The anticipation, more songs, raucous, bubbling bellowing conversations, the checking of watches, the checking of team sheets, the bubble of noise and smoke blurring the senses…..then…..”Bubbles”…….Many will claim their song to be the best. But if a song captures a club better than ours, with more evocative feeling in a few short words, I’ve yet to hear it.
The noise and passion causing my heart to rise and tears swell in my eyes.
The result then means little.
She already has you. For now and forever.
I’ve stood and sat in almost every part of the Boleyn. I’ve loved all of them equally. I’ll miss them similarly.
I look forward by nature, therefore the OS is a wonderful adventure for me and my family. I hope the same journey will live long in my sons memory when they go to the OS for their first game.
Till be different. Like the new Star Wars film, some will be blown away, some will thinks it OK but not as good as the originals, otherwise will damn right loathe it. That’s life my friends. Irrespective of what your head tells you, your heart will drag you kicking and screaming to Stratford. What we therefore must try to do is embrace it as much as possible. Fans made the Boylen what it is, not the other way round, therefore we have a fair old responsibility on our collective shoulders, as the inaugural group to grace this stadium. We need to cheer louder than ever before, to make it as intimidating as possible, an arena of fear. We needs stands to be known and feared, sections of the ground to scare the opposition as we did before. Sure the team need to step up and we need something to hang our hat on. But we probably need to go back to basics as fans too. Think about what makes us so special. Villa Park ’91…..
So as we tuck into some moist flesh over the holiday period (and then consider dinner) think about your happiest memories at the ground. Think about why you go, again and again. Why every other thought goes out of the window when we play (even a friendly) so desperate are we to be with claret n blue.
Then sit back and congratulate yourself, your friends and family. You’re one of the lucky ones my friends.
You’re a Hammer.
Merry Christmas ladies and gentlemen x
Happy birthday Bobby , where's Bonzo when you need him .
