And today the Hammers have been hammering away because they don't like us Geordies pulling the piss out of "the new Alan Shearer" Dean Ashton ... who will NEVER be good enough to lace Shearer's boots!
Amongst others, West Ham fan Gemma Powell wants it known: "Dear editor what an absolute MUG!
"You are a mug. In my personal opinion you would love DEANO! at your club because you aint got much else there. Plus lets see who scores most goals next season, Owen who is more interested in his horses or our boy, and why would you bother writing such an article in the first place."
Thank you Gemma for your e-mail. We shall be watching to see if your 'Shearer Wannabe' out-guns our 'stable boy'.
And we must also make an apology for suggesting Pablo Aimar was an "Argentinian" in yesterday's article.
Alan Devon says: "Argentinians is how you would describe a group of people from Argentina ..... one person is an Argentine.
