Jellied Heels

League Cup 2nd Round Draw: West Ham Utd away
Cor Blimey Guv'nor! We've only gone n' pulled the 'ammers owta the 'at!

It'll be jellied eels and mash all around, as I'll be heading out east in two weeks' time to watch the (mostly blue &)Yellows at the Boleyn Ground.

Barely a week back playing in the football league and we are instantly reminded of why a place in the '72' is so cherished; A trip to play a Premiership club at the first opportunity. Maybe even the chance of an upset, with Avram Grant far from settled and doubts about the club's finances still lingering, it's hardly a bunch of roses down at Upton Park.

Plus, West Ham are travelling to Old Trafford on the Saturday following our visit, so there are unlikely to be many first teamers out on display that night.

Mind you, let's not let the exploits of one game let us get carried away with things - If they do play their kids, that could mean we'll get served a lesson directly from 'The Academy of Football' itself...

On another note, I wonder if Joey will be going along to this one? It is quite a long way to travel, especially in midweek rush-hour when the traffic will be really bad.
