An unrepentant Terry with his faithful minder
Last night witnessed the increasingly ruthless side of the ‘New
West Ham’ as a super-strong development squad smashed poor little Gillingham
9-0 in a specially arranged ‘friendly’ tie at Rush Green Stadium. The match was
played behind closed doors, largely in an effort to exclude legendary Gillingham
Soccer Thug, Terry, who starred in the 2010 epic ‘The Shouting Men’ which
followed a motley crew of Gills fans on their journey up through Britain on their way to a cup encounter with Noocassel.
The opening scene includes a memorable encounter between the
wheelchair-bound Terry and some hard-looking Hammers supporters who were busy minding
their own business until terry intervened with some choice memories of Billy
Bonds and Trevor Brooking in their Bubbles heyday. A memorable schmozzle ensued
with the unrepentant Terry going on to engage none other than Peter Beardsley
as his wheelchair assistant!Oooer, this could reach double figures lads!
Last night, however, Even the vociferous Terry would have
struggled to maintain spirits as a totally outclassed Gillingham were battered
by a hungry Hammers side bursting with returning talent (MacCartney, Diarra,
Cole, Jarvis ) and the best of the latest academy crop including Elliot Lee and
Blair Turgott. 4-0 at half time, and there was to be no let up as even a
mysteriously unnamed ‘triallist’ got on the score sheet – Hammers fans are
already uop to their necks in speculation as to who it could be? Ba? Benzema? Benni MacCarthy?
One suspects that it was a pretty quiet Gills bus on the way
home. Let’s hope that they didn’t break down. Again!
P.S. VWH strongly recommends The Shouting Men - the first half is hilarious even if the second half is a bit sentimental
ReplyDeleteWell I guess it would be a meaningful result had we of been in the championship, sadly for us we can't take that form & team in the premiership .
ReplyDeleteGood result though and would be interesting to see if we played with a striker or 2 up front.

DeleteEven Carlton Cole scored! That could equal the number of goals we score away from Upton Park this season!
ReplyDeleteProbably Jaanai Gordon who's on trial from Peterborough. Scored 2 goals at the weekend for the Under 18s against Villa.
