Although written with a WHO audience in mind, and deriving its exploits from the musings of Mail, Telegraph and Times, Alan’s latest post is one of a rare breed that manages to leap out with a ferocity that will ensnare non-WHO readers as well. ‘Friday’s Newspapers’ achieves this remarkable feat by regarding Football Reporting on its literary merits rather than using it as podium. And in doing so, is able to weave a remarkable story that inhabits the larger tale of West Ham’s struggle in the transfer market.
A veteran of on-line Football Forums himself, Alan seems to be no stranger to this type of poster camaraderie. The heart of the post lies in those intervals of rest between games where the warriors huddle around campfires to discuss politics, women, and to harass one another. Each of these scenes is finely hewn into the larger plot without seeming extraneous and the men are presented in raw detail, both flawed and expertly skilled.
