Spotted above the DW Stadium this afternoon, at around the time Grant’s Irons were spunking a 2-0 lead at Wigan.
The Latics went on to win 3-2 and send West Ham down to the Championship. Uncle Avram is Mister Relegation.
At least now Carlton Cole will get to play at the appropriate level.

After yesterday’s Premier League results it would take a lucky man or a fool to bet on the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
Avram Grant, Carlo Ancelotti and Roy Hodgson’s days are surely numbered after Blackburn Rovers thrashed Liverpool 3-1, West Ham was humiliated by Newcastle United 5-0 and Chelsea were embarrassed at Wolves whose 1-0 victory lifts them out of the relegation zone.
I think Roy Hodgson’s time was already up before the kick-off but this latest defeat may have the Liverpool owners turning to Kenny Dalglish as a caretaker manager until they can get a big name to take up the reins at Anfield.
Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea’s poor run continued last night at Molineux. It’s still amazing what has happened at Stamford Bridge since the sacking of Ray Wilkins. They started the season scoring for fun only to stumble and fall at the first serious challenge against Manchester City, and since then have never looked that confident. If ever an English Premiership team could be compared to David Haye at the beginning of the season, only to fall from grace and turn into Audley Harrison midway through the season, Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea are that team!
Of the three managers things were looking brightest for Avram Grant this time yesterday afternoon. I assume owners David Sullivan and David Gold may have been content with a draw against Newcastle at St. James Park until it was confirmed their first and second choice strikers, Andy Carroll and Shola Ameobi, were both injured. They must have expected West Ham to grab all three points, not get absolutely hammered 5-0 with some of the poorest defending I had seen on Match of the Day since the Liverpool game, thirty minutes earlier!
Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool to sack their managers in January, what are the odds on that?

While Manchester United fans may argue that Sir Alex Ferguson deliberately picked a weakened team to take on West Ham in the Carling Cup quarter final game at Upton Park last night, we all know that Ferguson put out a team that he thought were capable of getting a result against the Hammers, something they failed to even come close to.
There will be those too who dismiss the Carling Cup as a Mickey Mouse trophy, but memories are sometimes short when it suits in football, especially given the significance of being the only trophy in the cabinet from last season at Old Trafford.
No, there is nothing anyone can say that will change my view that United went into last night’s game expecting to win and we should take our hats off to West Ham who simply wanted it more than their illustrious opponents, on the night.
Bottom-of-the-table Hammers face the daunting prospect of games against Chelsea, Stoke and Tottenham, and it is being suggested that Grant will become the first Premier League boss to be axed if all three games are lost.
However Sullivan tells ESPNsoccernet that it is wide of the mark to suggest that Grant only has three games left, or that his managerial reign at Upton Park is already under review after the opening three games, which have left West Ham without a point.
The Hammers board appreciate that the opening sequence of fixtures have been unkind to Grant’s new managerial job and that the next three games are among the most daunting of the seasons, and that their team would be lucky to get a point, with anything else as massive bonus.
For the corresponding six games this season, West Ham only got two points from the same games in 2009-10.
