Lucas: No rift
From a Sky interview with Lucas Neill.
"The club are very professional and there is no rift in the dressing room. We are very much together and you saw that on Sunday - and I think you will find that until the end of the season. A line has been drawn under everything in the past - whether it's true or not true - and the only way is up for West Ham. I came here to further my career - I'm committed to the club and until they tell me otherwise I'm happy to stay here long-term - I don't want to be a failure, I want to be a success. I just see talented young players who want to be successful - but they need a little bit of guidance. Some of them are that fresh that they lack the experience to be consistent at this level. he older guys are trying to steer them through, to get us on a roll and get the confidence up. You saw what the team did last year - they had a great FA Cup run. I would like to be part of a team that wins four, five or six games in a row - that would excite me. It's a massive task - there are only so many points to go for, and we probably need 18 to 20. We're going to do what we can to fight for them."

That sounds encouraging.
I have been thinking that he might stay even if we drop and try to get promoted again imemdiately. Eggie will have to pour more money into the club to fund it but we could probably hold onto him, Deano and others.

Well he did say when he came to the club that the main reason he came (Other then the cash :P) was Magnussons sweet talking, so you never know. I hope he stays.

The Headline That Was Sent In To Us More Than Any Other This Week
'Wanke Hoping To Beat Off Stiff Bribe Penalty' - Soccer***t, as Slovak police confirm they have charged the Slovak Football Association's acting secretary-general Vladimir Wanke with taking a bribe.

I hope they stay too Greg. It shouldn't be like last time as we have no need financially to let go of players we want to keep.

Hi Dave,

Dave said...

Would love to see him stay, solid no bullshit fullback. You never know he might hang about? I mean he's gauranteed first team football, probably Captain and is on a good earner.
If he does stay he would endear himself to the supporters and I have no doubt he would rise to legend status pretty fast.
Would have a formidable backline in the CCC next season with Neill, Upson, Davenport, Gabbs, Collins, Anton? provided they all stay?
How good was it waking up Sunday morning and see we hadn't lost! :)

For all the bad things that have happened this year, we've had some good breaks, but each time the gift horse opened its mouth, we've shat in it.
Down we go. :(

Doing Your Research
The scores from this weekend's football action in Ireland, according to the BBC website:
'Monaghan United 2 - 2 Wexford Youths.
'Shelbourne 2 - 2 Kildare County.
'Cobh Ramblers 0 - 37 Limerick.'
Part of Mediawatch wants to inform the Beeb that Limerick 37 is the name of the football club, not a scoreline.
Another part wants to stay quiet and enjoy the fun should they ever play 1860 Munich.
