News that MSG are about to build a massive ball shaped advertising tower in the Queen Elizabeth Park has gone down like a lead balloon with local residents, match day chaos which already happens would be added to and resources stretched to the limit will become even worse. Now interestingly one of the the people behind MSG is none other than Kia Joorabchian, he was part of MSI, you remember Kia he was the one planted Tevez and Mascherano at West Ham when he was trying to take over the club.

Large doses of reality are unwelcome in most aspects of life, even more so for football supporters desperate for their clubs to do well, even though they know in their hearts that success is very unlikely on a repeated basis, even so called top teams with relatively endless budgets!

During the 'lazy crazy days' of Manuel Pellegrini's era, the club, egged on by the majority of it's fanbase, pushed the boat out to acquire the cream of the crop. Unfortunately the cream got a little clotted when Sebastien 'le sulk' Haller strolled up to the bowl in Stratford.

We acknowledge that it is after all the 'silly season', but there is silly and then there's just plain stupid, the latter being a category that the Martin Braithwaite from Barcelona to West Ham 'story' falls in. The 'fantasy' story, if you are representing Barcelona, or the nightmare if you are a Hammers fan, is being continuously and erroneously reported and re reported by a steady stream of media outlets that should know better.
