He's forever blowing bubbles....

I've always thought that the West Ham song about blowing bubbles would sound better if it went "they fly so high, nearly reach the sky, they're like West Ham, they fade and die", but on the performance I just saw at Upton Park I don't think that would be fair.

However, better than the football was witnessing Iain Dale singing the song in a mockney accent. There was also a wave between him and the Police minister Tony McNulty who was up in the posh seats wearing a suit... football transcends politics after all.

West Ham won 2-0 if you're interested, Middlesborough were absolutely woeful, and Carlos Tevez was all over their defence like a bad rash. Cheers for the ticket Iain.

I never thought I would live to see the day when Dizzy cheered a West Ham goal. Sadly he didn't seem to know the words to "I'm forever blowing bubbles", though, and seemed terribly disappointed that the tune from Z Cars wasn't played before the match.

PS What should I make of the fact the verification word below is "cexbum"? I think we should be told.

I've always had a soft spot for West Ham, I seem to have so many friends that are Irons fans it's difficult not too, unless they are playing Everton of course. I do know the words as well, but I thought it would terrible cliche for me to sing along whilst wearing a green bomber jacket!
