The last time Matt was in Singapore....

His team, West Ham United, got relegated from the Premiership and the poor chap was somewhat overcome with emotion (or was it the booze?) and ended up close to tears!

Here he is at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal – where you can catch a ferry to go to such places as Bintan, which is always useful to know... So, with his beloved Hammers one game away from the twin towers of Cardiff (doesn’t seem to have the same magic ring as ‘Wembley’ does it? But at least they have a national stadium, that was built on time and only a few quid over budget), young Matt doesn’t want to jinx things again by agreeing to come out in July.

Though, if the truth were to be told, the real reason lies with the fact that Matt’s daughter, Maddy, is only a little 'un and Di has school (which, as Di is a teacher by profession, means work). But I still prefer my version.

Anyway, here’s Matt and Di, somewhere in London. ps Good luck, Matt, with West Ham in the semi-final of the Cup. But if you get through, your team’s going to lose to either Sarah’s (Chelski) or my team (Liver-5*s-pool) anyway!
