Go Hammers GO!!!!

Congrats to Man Utd for winning the Barclay's Premier league. For your info, I'm not a red devil fan but I'm a hammer.. That means i Support West Ham United!!! go hammers!!! yeah!! The reason why i support that team is because of the youth team set up... Don't get me wrong that Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool have great youth set ups but when was the last time these teams produce great British talents?? The last English talent from Arsenal was Ashley Cole and David Bentley( they freaking sold him without even giving him a chance to shine.. and they sold him to cheap.. when I mean they.. I mean Monsieur Wenger) For United it was the Fergie babes (Scholes, Giggs, Beckham,Neville brothers and the of so forgotten Nicky Butt) and Liverpool... Stevie G and then mersey reds favorite son Michael Owen.. and oh yeah the marathon man Jamie Carragher.

This is what i always do to my friends who supported the likes of the Big four.. to show them my case. Why West Ham United F.C has the best academy in England. Hence produce the best English youngster in England. Lets take Man Utd for example, the core of the team is its defense and the prolific Cristiano Ronaldo. In the heart of the defense we have Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic probably the best center back partnership in the league this season. Where is my case going to.. well where was Rio's first club? easy answer.. West Ham United!!! The hammers spotted his talent and the rest is history. Well you guys might say hey its just Rio.. well it's not only Rio, he is the most expensive defender in the premier league.. 30 million pounds if i was not mistaken. This guy has been the solid rock for the united defense. He has been ever present in the united defense and in the England Set up. He got pace to burn and strength to use but hi only weakness is his aerial strengths which can be question sometimes. But never the less a solid defender one of the best n the world. Putting Ferdinand aside, we still have Michael Carrick. A solid central midfielder who can play the water carrier role as well as anyone in the league and has a powerful right foot whether to pass or to shoot one of his main attributes is his accuracy. Another of the famous Hammer youth academy products.

Now on to Chelsea.. This team is more hammers than the hammers themselves Hahaha.. I'm joking. But the core team of the current Chealsea team is built on 3 former hammers youth players ( actually 2 lah but then this player was never accredited) They are Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and .. yes.. John Terry. Don't be surprise you Chealsea fans( I doubt you guys will be surprise anyways.. How many people read my blog... Hahahahaha) Well Terry in the player who is not credited for being a young hammer. It says that he join Chealsea at the age of 14. Have you wonder before that where was he?? Well he was a Hammer.. Lets put that aside.. and lets see Frank Lampard Jr.. Without this guy... Chealsea would have trouble finding the net for the last 2 championship that the blues won he was one of their main man. He runs the show.. Though watching him is like watching a rigid player who uses all the basic he has watching Joe Cole is alot more different. This seasons Blues player of the year burst on to the scene as an 16 year old prodigy touted as the next Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne. This dude has skills to kill. At the age of 16 Man Utd wants to buy him for 10 mill.. Man thats insane. As far as i can remember he was the only player that showed up for the world cup for england. His dribbling, vision, passing accuracy, unpredictability makes him a wonderful player to watch. Can play on either wing or play the central role his an asset to any team.

Man this is one of my longest post.. Whew.. actually I was Sidetracked but then again I will blog on the topic that i really wanted to blog about some other day. Anyways the french league and the Italian league in drawing to a close but no champions yet cant wait to see the outcome this week.. Chiao then

Mamma Mia


Champions league and The Uefa Cup finals coming.. YAHOO!!!
