UN/HAPPY HAMMERS?
On Monday afternoon, whoever is in charge of West Ham’s social media disgraces posted a photo of the team and backroom staff preparing to embark on their “flight to the final destination on our road to glory”. In it, posing all the way up the steps to their plane in the traditional style of a team heading off to do battle on foreign soil, stood 26 happy Hammers, with their manager David Moyes at the bottom, front and centre, flanked by his backroom staff. No longer part of the team, although he could almost certainly do a job if required, even Mark Noble was there, ostensibly in his role as sporting director, but no doubt brought along to ensure that whatever the outcome of Wednesday’s Tin Pot final between West Ham and Fiorentina, at least one of the dressing-rooms in Prague’s Fortuna Arena will be left spick and span with a floor clean enough to eat your pie, mash and jellied eels from.
