		<description>All that said, today the Independent is reporting that &#039;West Ham Admit Considering Player Bids&#039;, so not even the Indie is averse to a bit of mischievous spin. Admittedly not quite as dishonest as virtually every other paper, but still sharing the view over what the &#039;story&#039; is.

At the end of the day, they&#039;re all vultures.</description>

		<description>Awesome post, SJ. Well done to Iain for recognising it in this way too.
When you take into account the fairly full and frank interview with Duxbery on the club&#039;s website today (ABOUT TIME!!) it does appear that we can enter 2009 in somewhat more positive mood than we might do if we relied solely on the gutter press for our information.

A very Hammer New Year to all</description>

		<description>Unfortunately........everything has a price!

Bellamy and to a certain degree Parker and Upson are &quot;up market&quot; journeyman footballers, who follow the wage packet.</description>

		<description>Nice one Iain. SJ Chando&#039;s comments are always well considered, well informed and you can tell that SJ takes time to put them together. The comments are regularly posted elsewhere on other blogs too.</description>

		<description>chris, if the rumours are to be believed, davenport has been told by zola that he won&#039;t be playing for west ham again after reacting badly to starting on the bench against stoke.  If this is true then it would make sense to bring Tomkins back for cover.</description>

		<description>I have just seen the blog, I was not expecting that!  I wish I had proofed it better and corrected the typos now!!!  Many thanks to Iain for posting it and for the kind comments from fellow contributors.  A happy new year to everyone on West Ham Till I Die.  As the song goes, &#039;things can only get better,&#039; fingers firmly crossed!</description>

		<description>I agree that The Inde gives a factual account of most things, sport related or not. The sad truth is that most footy fans love a bit of transfer gossip and the fact they write less speculation is reflected in their copy sales. How unfortunate when you think about it. Happy New Year everybody!</description>
