News Update!
* We have a new banner! Had to get rid of that UEFA cup shit - it was making me tearful.
** Bobby Zamora has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2011. Bobby has come out and said all he has ever wanted to do is wear the claret n blue shirt and he is delighted to be spending the best part of his career with the club. He also is backing the Argentine pair to come good stating that they fit in well during training and are enjoying life at Upton Park despite recent results.
*** A Hammers legend has signed our guestbook! Steve Bacon was the club photographer for many years and I have fond memories of him walking the perimeter of the pitch with his camera snapping away whilst I stood as a kid on the North Bank. Steve if you are reading this - good luck with your return to photography mate - its an honour to have you grace these pages - your warm comments with regards to this site are greatly appreciated.

International Wrap
* Some of the Brisbane Hammers were present at the Suncorp Stadium last night for the dissapointing 1-1 draw between Australia and Paraguay. We had to wait until the 88th minute to see a goal and the Aussie fans must've felt victory was on the horizon before a calamitous own goal in the dying seconds snatched a draw from the jaws of victory for the Socceroos. The game gave us a chance to see former Hammer Stan Lazaridis make his final appearance in the Green and Gold.
** On the subject of dissapointing internationals, England could only muster up a 0-0 at home to Macedonia last night. Republic of Ireland proved equally inept with a 5-2 loss to.... wait for it.... Cyprus LOL! Wales got thumped 5-1 at home to Slovakia whilst Scotland bucked the British nations' dissapointing weekend causing the biggest upset of the night with 1-0 victory against Les Bleus! The victory vs France puts them top of the group which also contains Italy and Ukraine on a maximum 9 points from 3 games .

Pretty lame really beggers. I don't understand why Australians haven't grasped the concept of singing their teams on.

I won't be wearing those shitty colours during the Ashes mate that's for sure! ;-)
Jeez I had a lot to drink last night - I'd forgotten about that photo! :)
beggers said...
Nice photos NM. Velcro knee haha! That photo of Dave, was that before or after he struck up a chorus of Waltzing Matilda?
Dave said...
I'm slowly gonna make a few site improvements - what do you think of the ticker tape guys?? :-)
said...
There is code to remove the Blogger Menu Bar. You might want to try and find out what it is.
norven munky said...
in general I find ticker tapes distracting..the one you have whacked up looks ok when you look at it specifically but will it wear thin after a while? I guess it disappears off the top as soon as you scroll down to a story.
In any case it obviously shouldn't take the place of any content being posted.
Agree that pissing off the blogger menu bar would be a good idea.
Having said all that I think the site looks pretty smick...
Dave said...
The idea is not to replace content - the idea would be to put scores across the top and headlines of current articles on the site. What I've put on there now is just really for demo purposes - at the weekend I'll put the EPL results on there. :-)
I have a couple of other ideas for little fancy things to put on the site and will stick some up for comment as and when I get time.
I think we need to get a little more regular with meet ups for the Brisbane Hammers and announce it on here. We should try and get together for the Saturday midnight kick offs - there have not been many if any yet this season unfortunately. We seem to always play on a Sunday which is a pig for us.

Ticker looks fine and I like the idea of the headlines and scores across the top. It's a good site already IMO. Like the idea of catching up for some games. Will have to come up with a devious plan to get back down the coast though. Think man think!
