Hammered!!

Thanks Scott for a great season - good luck with your new club.

So my beloved West Ham are exiting the penthouse heading for the outhouse. Strange fields and stadiums here we come! Given the club's recent history of mis-management, bad signings and financial and legal battles, relegation was always on the cards.

Here's hoping that the Irons will re-build and re-boot in the Championship and move on up in the future. I'll have a quiet beer tonight and share a virtual commiseration toast with my West Ham mad mates, the Bromley brothers in East London.
