Spare a thought for the poor overworked staff at the Boleyn ground who have been busy all
week preparing for the visit of the mighty megabucks men of Manchester City. The nouveau-riche
mancunians are rumoured to be planning to arrive in a specially designed gold
jet and have insisted on all sorts of pointlessly expensive amendments to the
visitors changing area, including a Joe Hart ego-holder!
Meanwhile, Big Sam’s streetwise urchins continue to make the
most of what they have and plan to frustrate their pampered visitors before
treating them to the same mauling that the hapless Hotspurs received two weeks
ago. City, who are currently cash-rich but results poor, may find Big Sam’s
latest innovative formation difficult to fathom as it is rumoured that he plans
to play a full team of midfielders, including dropping Jussi Jaaskelainen in
favour of Mark Noble who recently deputised in goal during the pre-season
friendlies. This may not be true but will at the very least serve to befuddle
and outwit the Citizens (?!?) who are managed by Chilean Manuel Pellegrini.
No matter how much the Hammers’ antics confuse the Chilean,
they will almost certainly fall short of the level of befuddlement the Hammers
experienced when their crazy Chilean defender Javier Margas disappeared from
the Boleyn only to reappear weeks later on the run in Chile! He has
subsequently settled down and has limited his recent exploits to appearing on a
Chilean celebrity treasure Island show and purchasing Augusto Pinochet’s
armoured car!
Either way, Man City will need to watch out for the Hammers latest South American superstar in Raveldo Morrison who is on fire and will no doubt look forward to getting one over on his Mancunian rivals.
How crazy can it get out there? We predict 4-3 to the
Hammers!
