Programme Review No 6, West Ham

The Hammer – Bumper 116 page issue. Unfortunately, there's 34 pages of adverts in that for your £3.50
Another unimaginative cover with bog standard player picture.....surely somebody will do something different.
Its small type so not the easiest to read
No great content from Pellegrini, don't think he knew us
'Sheffield united are a really good team, with a 'we may not always win, but we're going to have a go attitude', Mark Noble informs us.
I think I'll pass on the Player of the Year Awards at £295 a pop.
The OSB (Official supporters Board) have a double page spread and refers to away ticket allocation. There's something to drool over for you, who love the loyality points threads.
Decent section on us, .
Interestingly, West Ham note that United have a different attitude when it comes to crossing the ball, They rank 17th in the prem, we rank 4th for number of crosses. Maybe that's why we are labelled direct. I found that quite startling, as we never lump the ball in when we have a free kick on halfway, and there's a common frustration at times that we don't get it in when we should. Still, what do I know.
Its interesting to notice that 2 of the three sides above us are also hoof ball merchants Liverpool and Man City.
'Black Hammers History month includes the Clyde Best Story, probably the first black player I remember seeing in this country.
There's a large section on the Academy and the girls which is becoming a more popular theme. All the tables and stats are readily available.
Big name player is, literally, Jacynta Galabadaarachchi, at £1.50 a letter, that makes the shirt somewhat expensive, an extra £24.
The kids have a double page, which features Bubbles the bear, not the chimp, I confess I always wanted Michael Jackson to release his cover version of I'm forever blowing Bubbles' but that would be so wrong. Sorry, I have no shame. no sign of Herbie Hammer.
Bubbles predicts a 3-1 win.
Bizarrely, there's a double page spread on some West ham fan who's documenting his efforts on Championship manager 2001.
Then comes James Corden waxing lyrical about his efforts to watch West Ham. I think we'll leave it there
