West Ham v. The Arse 08/24/02 (R)

[El Toro]

I was moving this weekend and couldn't watch the game. My friend in Florida calls me with updates.

Tight first half. Then Joe scores ("Joe Cole...can you believe it?" says my friend.)

Hammers 1-0

Then Kanoute
Hammers 2-0

Then Henry scores for the Arse...
That's okay...its still 2-1

The killer was Kanoute's pk. My friend calls me. He says "I will hold the phone up so you can hear the celebration." I tensely wait in anticipation and hear what I think are shouts of jubilation as Kanoute drills one home to build the insurmountable 3-1 lead.

I don't have to rehash what the remaining minutes bore out...

In the end the Hammers were lucky to escape with a draw with the barrage of attacks by the Gooners.

You DO NOT blow penalty kicks.

Typical Hammers.

Paolo, please get well soon.

I tell you my teams have to be the worst penalty taking teams. WHU, Metro, USA and Holland. Only the USA are respectable at pk's.

in short, it's my fault. I'm sorry.

just to recap... The MetroStars missed a pk on Sunday too.

I reiterate, It's my fault. I'm sorry.

Just great.

Hey Fries , Thank God for Mathis.

I accept your apology.

Not sure how to solve the problem however ... short of you giving up being a WH fan.
