Wild Wild West

I suppose it is a little known fact that back in the 19th century, over a quarter of a million people departed Wales in search of a better life in the USA. A significant number of these intrepid pioneers, in search of fertile land to farm, chose to join the wagon trains moving west. The violent and vicious  James Gang of whom Jesse was the most infamous, were in fact direct descendants of those adventurous taffies.

Of course,  for anybody who has ever had the pleasure of visiting Wales, stories of  bar room brawls, sheep rustlers and bandits will come as no surprise. 

Talking of Welsh cowboys, ex-Everton midfielder Barry Horne has come out all-guns-a-blazing in the defence of the current custodians of Everton Football Club. According to 'Bronco Barry,'  who has obviously been twatting the Wild Turkey, Evertonians should 'trust the leaders with the club at their heart' as in Barry's world they are'the key to progress.'

You'd have thought, given Horne's Everton FC experience and the clubs current on and off the field condition, the last thing he would be promoting in the local press was 'more time' for a patently redundant chairman and his feckless board of directors. Perhaps Barry feels he has a duty to remain faithful to his ex-employers or maybe it is a question of wild west genes. As the old cowboy proverb says: 

"Before cussing the boss, saddle your horse....."

"YeeeHaaaw"

 

 

Legacy - Kenwright and the Porn King

The recent shenanigans concerning which of the multi-millionaires would be handed the prefered bidder status of  the Olympic Stadium put me in mind of another great lost opportunity: the failure of Everton Football Club to secure a state-of-the-art stadium for a relative pittance at Kings Dock.

Look At The State Of That

Now that would have been a legacy to be proud of for our very own darling of London's West End, Mr William Kenwright CBE. Unfortunately it turns out that every other word excreted from his mealy mouth proved to be well, shite. A distraught and broken man, Kenwright was never seen to darken our door again and a long-term plan to redevelop Everton FC's spiritual home, Goodison Park, was implemented. Leading to the iconic and unique stadium the team thrives in today - or did I dream that last bit? Ah well.....

Back down in The Smoke, Daniel Levy was pissing himself laughing at the worst idea since the invention of the helicopter ejector seat: the hair brained notion that a running track must be retained at the Olympic Stadium. Now the 'appy 'ammers have been given the nod, he's very thoughtfully demanding legally binding guarantees that the running track remains, which is nice.

Anyway, not to worry. Once the Porn King's wet dream goes tits up it'll be left to the tax payers of London to pick up the bill. Some things really are that inevitable.
