Fans of a certain age might remember Dick Emery, a comedian who had a career spanning decades essentially based on several 'characters' he portrayed in the Dick Emery show, one such character was a very politically incorrect effeminate 'chap' who would invoke a reaction, usually from quite 'rough' types, by instigating an event where he could use his punch line "ooh you are awful, but I like you" as he slapped them on the back and 'flounced off' in a very non macho manner.

Many moons ago, West Ham United attempted to sign Darren Bent from Charlton, the player eventually decided to go to arch rivals Tottenham instead, despite agreeing a deal in principal to join the Irons. So there was a bit of 'bad blood' there, especially from Hammers fans who thought Bent's agent had just used the club as a 'springboard' to get his client a better deal, "no harm in that" you may say, and you would be correct, so why on earth has Darren Bent, now he can no longer play, insist on putting the knife in to West Ham at every opportunity?

Anderson went on to prove his worth during his first year at the club under the guidance of ex-manager Manuel Pellegrini, he scored freely and was able to produce assists regularly, unfortunately this season his performances have been far more sporadic, not aided by the change of management nor by the nasty back injury he picked up against Sheffield United.
