Sign Lua Lua Sam!

Bit left field I know, but I watched Lua Lua play for Turkish team Karabukspor recently and the guy was on fire. True, his finishing was profligate but his pace and movement were electrifying, as was his awareness of team mates. He is 32 and would be a stop gap but I reckon he would be worth a shot, offering an injection of pace that we so desperately need.

Reading’s revival exposes West Ham United to gravity’s pull

• Kevin Nolan says West Ham will overcome slump in form • Pavel Pogrebnyak’s goal gives Reading heart and hope For the first time this season, West Ham are looking nervously over their shoulders.

The bottom is starting to fall out of our arse

I’d first like to say that Reading were poor and deserve to be where they are after an opening goal and then practically holding on for the whole game.

Reading 1 West Ham 0 – Inept West Ham Book Relegation Battle For 2013

Well that was dire. Collison, Maiga and Vaz Te were held back far too long and a Reading team there for the beating were allowed to con their way to victory. When Allardyce eventually woke up to the possibility that we could actually attack the team that has already conceded 19 goals at home this season, we created three good chances from open play. But until then, the only game plan seemed to be…

Nolan Books Off New Year’s Eve – Again!

Well there’s a surprise. Captain Kev is free to enjoy New Year’s Eve for the second season in a row having secured the yellow card necessary to take him to five just in time. How convenient!
