Whole new ball game

It's not often you find our lads naked on page three of the Sun. But on pages 2-3 of today's paper West Ham players are pictured with just footballs covering their tackle. The Sun has teamed up with Movember in support of Feel 'Em Friday, the campaign to get geezers checking themselves for testicular cancer. West Ham's Dylan Tombides died of the cancer and his brother Taylor is pictured with naked Hammers Downing, O'Brien, Nolan, Noble, Cole, Carroll, Collins and Tomkins.

Strangely there's no sign of a naked Big Sam though. Clearly the paper thinks Andy Carroll has the most sex appeal as he also appears on the front of the Sun with the headline "Carroll kicks off Feel 'Em Friday: See Andy And His Hammers Team Mates With No Kit On." Well, Karren Brady did promise to improve the Hammers' bottom line. Let's hope we produce plenty of naked aggession against Villa after this, that our rearguard stays firm and we thrust Villa closer to the bottom.
