Roll on the new season, I could say I'm missing football but there are still games on every night with the Women's world cup, Copa America and the under 21's.
Not forgetting West Ham's European tour kicks off in just over a week with a trip to Andorra :)
Sorry spammers I've just been deleting all those messages you're sending me, so probably not worth keeping it up :)

Bilic
I really hope I am wrong about him and he turns out to be a great manager.
It seems we have given him a 3 year contract which I doubt he will fulfill, if he's a success he will probably bugger off somewhere "where he will win things", if he's a failure he has to go before we get relegated.
Also Carroll, Sakho, Noble and Collins are all still injured.
Fingers tightly crossed for next season :)

Champions League
Congratulations to Barcelona for their latest Trophy win.
Must admit I was cheering for Juventus and did get hopeful in the second half, but overall Barca deserved it.
Thought the ref was being biased towards Barcelona for most of the game, but was shocked when he disallowed Neymar's handball goal. Yes it was technically handball but wasn't intentional, and after he'd fell for every dive by Suarez and Neymar I expected it to be given.
Messi was a class above everyone else, Ronaldo is good but Messi controls everything for Barcelona.
Sad for a Hammers fan to see Tevez and Mascherano playing in a Champions league final after the way we treated those two, yes Tevez became a hero but even he was left out when Curbishley first took over and Mascherano was never really given a chance :(
One final thing to tie up, here's the NBTF Champions league Fantasy Table.
Congratulations to Richard :) the rest of us need to try harder next year :)

Fantasy Football TFF
Exciting end to the TFF blog league with only one point in it the end :)
The medal arrived this morning and luckily I get to keep it :)
Thanks to all those that played this season, a record 41 teams.
We finished 39th overall which is pretty good going, we briefly got into the top 30 in February, but managed to hang in the top 100 for the whole second half of the season.
Golden Boot - Andrew (Tiki Taka Tree) 111
Starting XI - Shane (Lewies Lions) 1300
MOTW - Lee 12, Andrew 8, Ryan 7
MOTM - Ryan 3, Lee 2
Hopefully we can do this again next season, although I might lose some of the ex work colleagues as we've all gone our separate ways :(
Other league of interest (to me mainly) yeah I know :)
I guess it was the last year of the "Smoke Generators" works league, unless any of them contact me? which is a shame as works league always have the best banter and motivation to do well.
I suppose the others will be glad to see the back of me as I think I've won 11 of the 13 years I've entered, and only missed a clean sweep of the top 5 by 2 points this season. But it's been fun.
Rick's Challenge - Obviously more serious players in this one and I managed to pick 5 of my worst performing teams to enter this one, so Ryan gets his medal here :)
Lee League - Just me so every chance of winning this :)
TDAOCS - Me, family and a few friends with freebie teams.
Overall - my best team ended up 277th which is one of my better final positions, did feature in the top 100 for a few weeks but dropped away.
Main claim to fame this season was finishing 7th in the golden boot competition, and the same team coming 24th in the Twitter league which included the overall 35k winner (beat him in the golden boot) :)
Hoping to have learnt a bit more this season but still think it's a lottery at the start.
One table still not decided is the NBTF Champions league, which will be finalised after Saturday's final.
Richard will win barring a miracle :)
