Poor old West Ham. It is common knowledge that the team at the foot of the Premier League at Christmas is the one that will be regulated come the end of the season. For the past five months West Ham have been dying an Avram Grant death; dull, insipid and characterless. Decent person that he may be, Avram Grant has instilled a boring and lifeless style of football on the East Enders - not withstanding the Carling Cup victory over Man Yoo.
Where there was once hope there is now just tedium. And it makes one wonder why the ‘ammers ever dispensed with the charismatic Zola. What has Grant done that Zola could not do?
The good news, or better news let’s say, is that Big Sam is available. At the very least he will inject some personality and style into the lifeless and mediocre ‘ammers. Sorry Avram, but you are just not Premiership material.
