I'm not condoning the bottle throwing at all. TBH I actually even wonder whether any attack took place because as I pointed out, why wasn't he reporting it to the police rather then the newspapers. Probably the only thing thrown at him was wanker signs and he has then blown it out of all proportion like he did with the Pigs in Mud comment.

Why was he slumming it in a Rolls Royce anyway? Where was his poxy helicopter?

And do you think he calls his helicopter Airwolf?

Were you waving with one finger or two? Or just waving with a weird wrist action?

To be honest, I hate it when dickheads who support my club do this kind of thing. I always like the think that because they made the roght choice in who to support, they might be sensible enough to just be quietly satisfied with the result. But I guess I'm a bit too naive in that respect.

It does make me wonder why it was parked there and not outside the ground. Were they waiting at the lights or something?

He didn't actually say they were Villa fans did he? My bet it was Sendo :)

Propably an bcity supporter trying to use a rock, as a key?

I've been giggling at this for a good ten minutes now.
Oh the imagery.

Whilst not condoning such behaviour if it did occur - why has he gone to the media but not
reported it to the local constabulary ?

Completely unrelated - this is the same guy who takes it upon himself to offer to sign autographs
in players' carpark after the match yesterday .........at one stage he was standing next to my motm
Super Marc Albrighton ............fair to say he didn't get many takers even the Hammers fans weren't
bothered

Whilst it was a bloody stupid and childish thing to do, that's about as much sympathy as i can muster. I just wonder if he'd have brought it up had West Ham won?

Key quote

Quote
"I hope and pray the incident is reported to the local constabulary and these two thugs are caught."

Does this mean that he's not reporting then incident to the police himself ?

If he was there and saw what happened they surely its his civic duty to report the incident to the police rather than just spout off to the press


EDIT - Just seen that Mozza said almost exactly the same thing

I didn't think Gold was coming back to VP ever again. I'm sure he said so a few years ago after we'd thrashed the shower of shit that he used to own. I think someone had upset him on the day.

And if he hopes the incident is reported then he should pick up the phone and do it himself. It's his right and his duty.
