On Saturday, vice-chairperson Karren Brady made something of an eye-opening admission. She told Sky Sports that the club had attempted to sign Romelu Lukaku from Everton, not once but twice. Alas they have been unsuccessful (no shit Sherlock) because the Premier League's leading goalscorer wants Champions League football (you don't say).

This has resulted in two reactions. The first is hilarity, not only from rival fans - and Evertonians in particular - but also from West Ham supporters. The second is resentment that Brady is desperately trying to hoodwink Hammers fans into coughing up for season ticket renewals. The only thing it's really achieving is making the club into a laughing stock...
