How much of a masochist would I have to be to watch the West Ham match?

    Been away so I was lucky enough to miss it live, but I made the schoolboy error of recording it and curiosity is getting the better of me. Were we as bad as the result suggests?

    I though the Blackpool result was a good one, but then I discovered they were down to ten men, so I guess it was disappointing that we let a lead slip. Still, a point towards safety. How did we play?

    And what's with the way Keith Hill sneeringly says "Barnsley FC" in his interview after the Blackpool match? He does it twice to make his point. Does he really hate us that much?

    Owner so sick he can't be tried for what basically amounts to fraud while the manager appears to genuinely despise us and doesn't mind making those feelings public. And to cap it off we're bloody rubbish. Things couldn't be going better!

    Keith Hill's interview on football heaven last night is full of praise for BFC supporters.

    Watch the West ham game if you want to get angry. it was horrible.

    It wasn't particularly the supporters

    But the whole club he seemed to be seething about. Odd.

    I recently turned 40. Have that.

    'recently' ???

    Keith's mad, the sooner we all accept that and move on the better.

    Watch the first 5 minutes and most of the second half and you'll feel that we were crap and wouldn't score if we were still playing now.

    Preece, McEveley gone, looks like Butts will go.

    He wants to keep Gray and Foster, maybe Doyle.

    We've signed up everyone who's even seen The Academy on pro contracts.

    Think that's it.

    Feel any different now you're nearly middle aged ?

    At the risk of being nicked by social services for child abuse, I sent the lad a link to watch it on his holidays.

    He also wants to keep O`Brien but is releasing Alistair Taylor.

    I feel less like I want to pay hundreds of pounds to buy a season ticket.

    Felt like that since Ritchie got shat on.

    Might well be an age thing.

    Can't even get angry or upset about it anymore, although I do think Keith's doing his best to make it interesting - not always on the pitch like.

    Just delete it Jay, you'll only be angry at yourself for wasting a hour and half otherwise!
