David Sullivan's the porno publisher isn't he? Who'll be the shirt sponsors? Razzle?  :P

No, it's good news mate. A bit of stability for the club. If West Ham had gone under though, I was hoping Liverpool might swoop on their youth development team. They seem to produce a steady stream of top quality young English players that we're not producing at the minute.

How far from Upton Park is the Olympic stadium btw.

That's in Marshgate Lane I believe which isn't that far from West Ham proper.  Upton pk is ironically nearer East Ham or Plaistow, so if they are relocated to the Olympic stadium at least their name will be accurate :)

I am praying what this will do in the short term is keep us out of the relegation zone, but West Ham have done themselves proud of late even with the economic turmoil floating above their heads.

Dave and Dave have talked a lot about what they would like to see from the club, and I really like the idea of Karren Brady being vice chairman (I have never had any confidence in the board), but I wonder how much they are going to plough into the club for new players?  They were live on Sky Sports News earlier as I had a mate text me to turn it on, unfortunately I don't have the sports package and couldn't watch it - did you catch it Red?

It's actually on now. The fans don't seem to happy at the prospect of moving stadium, but if I was a West Ham fan I'd be pretty excited. He's got a seven year plan to qualify for the Champions League, that seems a bit overambitious to me though.

I can get Sky Sports News on Freeview in the kids rooms, but flipping Sky has it built into their Sports package and you don't get it without subscribing!! How stupid is that?

Fantastic Wales - Scotland game in the Six nations this afternoon, I would recommend either watching on iPlayer or DLing it from the box or somewhere if you like Rugby union in any shape or form (or even if you don't it was that good).

Ireland - France up next and no prizes for guessing who I will be rooting for.

I'm still a bit shell-shocked at West Ham's bid for Thierry Henry as a 7.5mil deal is unprecedented at Upton Park. It looks like the New York Red Bulls deal is still good at the moment but the Premier League is where he should be and if we attract some other top flight players, he might be tempted?

Fabio Aurelio's available on a free. He'll be able to keep Kieron Dyer company in the treatment room.

They can trade sick notes, Dyer has quite a collection as do most of the West Ham team.

For those who wonder what I am on about, it is now 56 games all in the 5th set.  A new world record by a country mile.
