As the blessed St. Morrisey of Steven once observed: "I was looking for a job then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now". Employment beckoned and the Blagg coffers are once again getting swollen - until they find me out at least - but, sadly, this means not only working away but also working, and you may want to sit down for this one, at weekends.
So here I am in darkest Dereham, no radio and just a text from my best mate, an Upton Park Steward no less who tells me: '1-0 to the Cockney Boys, dominated throughout and it should have been about four more'. I have nothing to add except I think we are on our way back.
If anyone wants to help me out with match reports for the rest of the season then please email me at billyblagg@hotmail.com
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
