All Quiet On the West Ham Front

It is unnervingly quiet on the West Ham front today as the troops make final preparations for their advance across north London this weekend. The Times is the only national newspaper to carry a Hammers related story with Gary Jacob claiming the club's survival will be the key to the future of Carlos Tevez. The article suggests that West Ham have an option to secure the player on a permanent contract for £20m at the end of the season as a condition of the original deal that brought the Argentine to London.

Speaking of Tevez, the BBC are the latest to pick up on the online 'Don't Let Tevez Leave!' petition that has been doing the rounds on the West Ham forums. The petition was mentioned in the Express yesterday and has so far garnered signatures from over 3000 Citizen Smiths. Militancy seems to be on the rise in east London. This latest appeal comes only a few weeks after the Sun-backed imprecation to abandon the traditional Hammer Of The Year award. Unfortunately, we do not live in a Swiss canton but 'Power to the People' anyway.
