Do West Ham Know What They Have Bought?

We all know how Dyer and Bowyer knocked seven bells out of each other on the St James' Park pitch when we lost to Aston Villa 3-0, and how they stage managed a "hug" for the world's media to show they were best of mates.


I cannot ever remember a photo shoot to ridiculous. But it was arranged by the then Toon boss Graeme Souness, who described the incident as "the most amazing scene I have ever seen on a football pitch".

Dyer is set to sign for West Ham ... and boy are the Toon Army pleased to see the back of him!

As for Craig Bellamy, despite his problems at previous clubs ... (Norwich, Coventry, Newcastle, and Liverpool) ... he says he will continue to shout off his mouth should he see the need.

The Wales striker has a reputation for attracting unwanted headlines and making enemies. And how can we forget when Alan Shearer threatened to put Bellamy's nose to the back of his head when he mocked the England skipper after we suffered defeat to Manchester United in an FA Cup semi-final.

Bellamy: "What happens when you step over the line? Is that wrong?

"One of the best dressing rooms I have been in was at Celtic.

"There were fights and arguments every week. They won everything and got to the UEFA Cup final.

"They were all close friends but they demanded things from each other. Are you out of order if you demand too much from your fellow workmate? I don't know."

Oh dear West Ham fans. You do not know what you have signed!
