A year ago we saw football

A year ago was my last live football match, watching West Ham lose, very unluckily, 1-0 at Arsenal. Jeremy Ngakia was at right back, Sebastien Haller was up front and Antonio missed three golden chances — he was clearly never going to make it as a striker. Arsenal's winner was disallowed but then allowed by VAR. It looked likely that West Ham would go down back then. We drank in a pre-match pub with impunity and Nigel and his mate came over afterwards for a cup of tea afterwards. Strange times. A year on there might be no fans but at least order as been restored and we're above the north London Librarians, while Liverpool have just lost six home games in a row. Great progress has been made by Moyes and his men and we might even get to see the Irons in the flesh by next season.
