OVER IN MANCHESTER FOR THE CUP

BRIAN O'F AND GERRY O'K (THE SIMPSONS) TRAVELLED OVER ON SATURDAY FOR THE GAME ON SUNDAY. LOTS OF COMMENTS AFTER THE GAME ABOUT THE DUBLIN HAMMERS FLAG.

WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MEET HAMMERS IN JURYS INN FROM BRISTOL, NORTHERN IRELAND, ESSEX, AND OF ALL PLACES MORE DUBLINERS. MYSELF AND GERRY WENT ON A RECRUITING MISSION AND HAVE SIGNED UP THREE NEW MEMBERS.

WHAT A GAME TO GO TO... AND THE TORTURE WE SUFFERED AFTER THE GAME IN THE HOTEL, IN THE AIRPORT, ON THE PLANE WAS SLIGHTLY IRRITATING.

HOWEVER WE HAVE 7 REASONS AS TO WHY WE DID NOT WIN;
1. THE PITCH WAS IN BITS
2. THE EARLY KICK OFF DID NOT SUIT US
3. WE WERE WEARING THOSE PYJAMA TOPS THEY CALL JERSEYS
4. WE WERE CONCENTRATING ON THE LEAGUE
5. THE REF DENIED US A BLATANT PENALTY
6. NO BEER ON SALE IN THE GROUND
7. GARY BREEN.

IF I HAD A QUID FOR EVERY RED JERSEY SCUMBAG WHO SAID TO US THAT WEST HAM ARE THEIR SECOND TEAM AND I HOPE YOU STAY UP, I'D BE A RICH MAN. PATRONISING SHOWER OF SH*TS.

ALL SAID, OUR SUPPORTERS WERE BRILLIANT AGAIN, STILL PROUD TO BE A HAMMER REGARDLESS.

ASK GERRY O'K WHO HAD HE BACKED TO SCORE FIRST AND LAST GOAL... GUESS WHO...
GARY BREEN... THE GIRL IN LADBROKES UNDER THE STAND P*SSED HERSELF LAUGHING...
