OLAS V QPR

This time last season we had accumulated 5 points, the football was dire and Andy Carroll was injured, fast forward 12 months and we only have 2 more points, AC is still injured, but there is a feel good factor emanating around the club. I doubt a defeat under Sam has ever been as well received as last weeks V Man United, the performance was all we could ask for and the defeat seemed harsh. By the letter of the law Nolan was offside, but quite how the lino Saw that beats me, but still the team got glory after the defeat down to the performance, oh how we have waited for this to happen and in a way to me it proves mine and others stand against BFS as it is the performances that are the most important part of the game and as a rule if you perform in the manner we have this season then the results will follow. Sam has wasted his tenure playing his shite brand of steady football that has made him 1 of the most hated managers outside of whatever club he is managing at the time, and for many even while his managing their club. What happened in that meeting at the end of the season, more to the point, what happened after that meeting for Sam to spend the summer preparing for this season? Its as if he went on a journey of Discovery akin to the Blues Brothers walking into James Brown Church where at some point “SAM SAW THE LIGHT’,
Quite where this epiphany took place I doubt we will ever know, but he is on a mission from Gold (and Sullivan) and he is fulfilling that mission to play with style over substance. Don’t think for a minute though I am of the turning and accepting him as a manager, he is only doing this as it was forced on him, by the owners desperate to save the 3 million pound to get rid of him, but as long as we carry on the road we are currently taking then ill enjoy it, though to some I cant seem to do that. Walking down the Barking Road buzzing after the Liverpool game, probably only 15 minutes after the game had finished, an esteemed writer in this very publication texted me (you know who you are DY) to say that result cocked up my agenda, that of ousting BFS. I didn’t even get ½ an hour to savor the best game ive witnessed under Sam’s management, to be fair, he weren’t the only 1 but then ive never been 1 to hide my feelings for Sam.
Last week the club announced their Club London plan for the Olympic stadium but not to their chosen ones, the SAB, for it seems they have been forsaken and by some of the emails ive seen flying around between members many are not too happy, for it seems the actions of a very small minority in the SAB in revealing the clubs plan to the wider fan base to change the badge after signing a non disclosure agreement has meant the club are now thinking its time to end the SAB. Oh dear, what amuses me is that they cant see still they were there as a tick box enterprise, as a way to give the club an out if ever questioned on why there doing what they do. The funny thing about this is during the OS bid when info was given to the SAB it was Karen Brady in her rag column that exposed that vote had taken place and only 2 of the SAB voted against, yet a concerned fan disgusted at the march of the marketers that really run this club day to day breaks cover and then its curtains for the SAB. I myself is a member of the SAB but ive always believed the club were never going to listen and would do as it wanted to anyway and it looks as if I was right and im not the only 1 to believe that. The problem is many don’t realize that the day to day running of the club is not carried out by Gold or Sully and as if too prove it, it was revealed on a well known WHU fans forum that an EX Hammer, not the most well known but a member of cup winning teams no less was sent a bill for his tea & Sandwiches after attending a game in the lounge, now, this is not the 1st time ive heard this happen to an Ex Hammer, working as a meeter and greeter in the lounge getting a bill for his food while he worked, is that what we are reduced to as a club, I thought we were supposed to revere our old pros, the club are quick enough to wheel them out when their required but to charge them 30 quid for sarnies and tea is taking the piss really. But then when we’re in the day to day control of Arsenal Coventry and Newcastle fans theat never had the club in the DNA as youths can we expect them to understand why us fans react the way we do when our old pros are treated behind closed doors in a way that flies in the face of the family friendly club the marketers would love us to believe, I don’t blame DG & DS for this, they have entrusted the running of the day to day monotonous stuff to KB and her cronies and its they that are ruining the club off the park.
