On Talksport: ‘Stuart Pearce has accepted a job at West Ham’

Made it sound he had accepted he was going to die.

‘Give it to me straight Doc’
‘There’s nothing more we can do, you going to West Ham’
‘I..I’m ready...’


Well, on the surface, of course he isn't physically going to die just because he joins West Ham (unless Lady Black Widow Brady gets her mits on him and drags him into her lair, of course) :cautious::cautious::cautious:

But on a deeper level, it could be seen as analogous to a spiritual death - especially for a player who had such a tremendous will to win, joining a club whose will to win is confined to their two cup finals against Spurs. In fact, it could even be described as a fate worse than death :eek::eek::eek:

I beg to differ, good sir. To join West Ham would surely be

F**k I hope Watford thump them 4-0.Just to see moyes face would be funniest thing to happen for a long time.Twitter would be in meltdown.


I'm divided. On the one hand it is amusing to see the Spammers humiliated. On the other hand, they have City, Chelsea and Arsenal in quick succession after their next three fixtures and it would be nice if by some miracle they could somehow rally enough to take points in against our top six rivals.

I'd prefer they got smashed every game and got relegated. We'll get top 4 anyway.

My favourite Stuart Pearce story paints him in a slightly better light. Manchester City are at home. The pressure is on the manager. He comes out to the technical area with his coaching staff, his substitutes and, err, a stuffed toy.

"He's Beanie the Horse," Pearce admitted, a little bashfully. "My wife told me she was coming to see the game this week and that my daughter, Chelsea, was bringing Beanie and wanted him to sit with me on the touchline.

"It's difficult explaining to a seven-year-old that this is the Premiership and I'm known as 'Psycho'. I had to put all that to one side and be the family man. But I don't mind and he'll be coming to Everton next week as well."

All together now. Aaaah. **** called his daughter Chelsea and scored a cheating-as-fuck free-kick against us in the FA Cup Final in '91, but we beat them in the end, so aaaah.

And what I really like about this story is that, when David Moyes asks Psycho if he has any bright ideas on how to win a game, then they can have this conversation...

Moyes: "So how we going to win a game then, Stuart?
Psycho: "I did win this one game by putting a lifeless carthorse on the bench".
Moyes: "Blimey. Did he go on?"
Psycho: "No. He just sort of sat there."
Moyes: "Andy, you're benched for the next game"
Carroll: "Bollocks"
Moyes: "So what bunch of feckless shites did that tactic work against, then?"
Psycho: "West Ham"
Moyes: :facepalm:

I think we will get top four anyway.
I thought we would get top four before the season had started or I had even seen who our signings were for the summer.
I would be quite happy to see Liverpool and the Goons dropping a couple of points against the Spammers just to keep their melt-downs chugging along nicely. But could live with seeing the Spammers getting stuffed (that is why I said I am divided) (y)

But what I will not accept, what I will never accept is wanting to see the Spammers smashed by City. I want the Spammers to give City a demoralising defeat - and preferably one that involves City players being sent-off. I don't like to see players, even oppos players, getting injured - but I could live with a few strategic ones for City. Why? Because unlike some I am not at the stage where I am prepared to throw the towel in and concede the title to City - and I don't expect our players to, either. If that means the bitter pill of the Spammers building up some confidence and resilience, so be it :ninja:

So do I Goode Pard'ner, so do I.

But I also want to see City dropping points all over the shop.

If the choices are

1) having the joy of watching the Spammers, with the Tax Payer's Stadium firmly tied around their necks, disappearing into the Championship, and us not win the league.

or

2) The Spammers beating City, even if it helps them stay in the Prem, but those three points and that game being pivotal in City dropping the pace and us finishing above them and winning the Barclay's Premier League.


well, sorry, much as 1 would be a blast, I am going to choose 2 every time*.

*I suppose how anyone views this could ultimately come down to whether they believe we can/will be the team to take advantage of any slip-ups by City. I believe we can be that team (y)
