Mohamed Diame (just signed on a free from Wigan for the hammers) reveals the real reason Kenny was sacked. On his discussions with Liverpool prior to the sacking he had this to say:

"I met with the then manager and we talked about next season but God decided to finish this situation"

About time WH benefited from a free agent instead of waving so many goodbye. Will go missing for the African Nations Cup of course but so many players from other teams are too.


Not sure footballing reasons are behind the move tho-


'The truth about life in Wigan is there is nothing to do', Diame told a French football magazine. 'It is a cr*ppy place. The town is tiny and there is no atmosphere. I go into training, I return home, and that is all I do.'


Diame also hit out at the town's female population: 'It is rare to see truly beautiful girls when you go out during the day,' he added.



Okay - now, any chance of a striker Sam?

Yeah I read that too.

HEre's the whole quote. Hard to argue with it though I can understand why Dave Whelan is miffed too.


"The truth about life in Wigan is that there is nothing to do," he said. "It is a crappy place. The town is tiny, and there is no atmosphere. I go in to training, I return home afterwards, and that is all I do. There is absolutely no comparison between Wigan and Madrid. I was happy there ? it is a capital city, and I guess it is the same as any capital. After training I was able to go for a peaceful stroll. It was never really cold over there. But as for here ? don?t get me started! When it snowed I felt like the temperature was minus 15, and feared I was going to turn into an ice cube. It is rare to see truly beautiful girls when you go out during the day. But it?s a different story when you go out in the evening. The girls seem to cover themselves up all day, only to be in good-looking mode at night. In Madrid I had the impression that all the women were beautiful."

I thought that was quite funny jah!

We've the makings of a good first team with a couple more signings. Cracking midfield, and, well one good striker and one who's good on his day and a couple of good defenders.

Just like west game to have a squad of midfielders and little else.

Obviously desprately weak for goalies without green, well we've a green one and one due for retirement.

But strength in depth, noooooooo, across the season we'll struggle.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
