Blair Witch Hunt Project

HE'S AT IT AGAIN!! Tony Blair has added his weight to West Ham fans' petition to scrap this year's Player Of The Year awards.

Following hot on the heels of yesterday's remarkable outburst at a working men's club in Sale — during which he drunkenly gave his support to The Sun's campaign to lower football ticket prices — Blair was at it again, trying to make himself popular by latching onto an issue that lots of people are talking about, and proving that he knows how to party with the working man. Speaking at a hastily convened supporters meeting in an East End pub, Blair wasted no time in making his feelings clear: "The Hammers are nine points adrift of safety with their place in the Premiership hanging by a thread," he said. "No wonder you're upset. I'm upset. We're all upset. But that doesn't mean we have to keep being upset." Blair, wearing an Aston Villa scarf by mistake and hoping nobody would notice, proceeded to lay into the West Ham squad, claiming that he'd just spoken to Julian Dicks about it. "I've had a word with Dicksy," said Blair, "and he's backing me up to the hilt. How can they be in the Cup Final one minute and a pile of shite the next? We've got to find out who the ring leader is. There can be no Player Of The Year Awards with this hanging over us." Things turned ugly when Jack Straw turned up and did his best to interrupt the PM's impassioned call to arms. A scuffle broke out — allegedly involving Mr Straw and one of the PM's aides. The Prime Minister was quickly ushered out through a back room, but assured bar staff he'd be back before closing time.

isporty would like to know if there's a popular issue Tony Blair won't give his backing to in order to cover his tracks and brush over the disasters of his last term of office. What do you think? And should West Ham really give the award to Dean Ashton due to the fact that he hasn't played as many games as the rest of them?
