West Ham Till I Die

"We are going to die. I will die, Alan Curbishley will die, Alan Pardew will die, Anton Ferdinand will die but through West Ham we get a shot at eternal life. The Claret and Blue army will march on, infantry will come and go generals will depart but the colour and the aim will remain. They are more constant than life, bigger than death. So Shankley's famous maxim ain't so glib - football is more important than life and death - it transcends both."

I've become a big fan of Russell Brand's column in The Guardian. He wrote the above piece after the Charlton game. Today's article on the Sp#rs game "Why Tony Cottee's call has left me in a dither" is also well worth a read.
