Game over, man

Well, with all the current panic it's a relief the Wolves and Spurs games are postponed. All elite football has been cancelled — and strangely enough that includes West Ham. The Premier League had very little choice but to act after Mikel Arteta and Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for coronavirus and three Leicester players went into isolation. And let's hope David Moyes is OK having gone into self-isolation after hugging Arteta at the end of Saturday's match at Arsenal. 

When the season does resume it will probably be behind closed doors and drag on into the summer. Mind you, the last time West Ham played behind closed doors we beat Castilla 5-1 in the Cup Winners Cup in 1981. We'll meet again... but don't know where, don't know when. Come on you Irons!

I remember some goal highlights on the news and hearing a Bonzo expletive along the lines of"what a ******* great strike", echoing round the terrace!

I have just read Henry Winter's piece in the Times today about Brady's 'venal self interest' in contrast to Mark Noble's words about the coronavirus issue.
A fine piece and I agree totally with Winter's conclusion - 'football could do without Brady's arrogance and own goals'.
I am ashamed that she has anything to do with WHU.

Yes, pretty shoddy of Brady to say that. That Sun column brings nothing but trouble....
