Well i say lucky, I am pretty sure that i was wearing this shirt for the 2006 FA Cup Final in Cardiff, the less said about which the better. Anyhow, despite it being somewhat ragged it seems the Mrs has not thrown it out which would, I am sure you will agree, have been grounds for divorce. Thus, as you can see below, I can now wear it for tonight’s match where I shall be joined at the Raven in Farndon by another attendeed at the 2006 match, albeit a scouser. He promises not to mention events of 17 years ago and to become a Hammer for the evening.
Ahead of that, as I try to finish my work on time I am mainlining the coffee in the West Ham/Paulo di Canio mug you can see below. I am not sure the Mrs, a deluded lefty, knows about Paulo as I fear if she was aware of his somewhat unusual views and worshipping of Mussolini that mug would quickly find itself heading to a charity shop.
