Brilliant photo from West Ham’s 3-0 Championship Play-Off Semi-Final trouncing of Cardiff City at Upton Park yesterday; all the exhaustion, the exasperation, the doleful resignation, etched across Malky Mackay’s face as the ‘Ammer’s elusive fortunes suddenly come out of hiding, encapsulated in an opalescent sphere of subtle metaphor, succinct imagery and two parts Fairy Liquid…

I call it ‘Malky: Paragon of Despair’.
