QPR Drinking in Last Chance Saloon before Christmas.

Poor old QPR. They remind me of an alcoholic sitting in a bar bemoaning his bad luck but telling anybody who will listen that everything will be fine after he has won the lottery in January. Yesterday was a huge kick in the cobblers and has left the Hoops curled up in agony…

QPR – One Point in Fifteen Spells Disaster

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh one point. Far be it from me to say “I told you so”. What pleasure would I gain from that exactly? Just because Rangers fans have abused me each time I have pointed out that they face a struggle to survive this season, that doesn’t mean …

John Terry Charge is Absurd!

Tell me, what will be gained by fining Terry £2,500 even IF he is found guilty as charged? The decision of the CPS to pursue this matter stinks. How do we know for sure that the decision maker isn’t a fan of Tottenham, Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea? We are told …

Relegate Liverpool!

I’m not sure where I stand on the Suarez affair. Initially, I thought he should be kicked out of English football if it was proven that he had used the N word repeatedly towards Evra, but the more I learn about how the Spanish version is used in Uruguay, the more I understand how the term may have…

One Big Halls Up!

You can keep him. No you can’t! What the hell is going on? Yesterday we agreed to extend Hall’s loan by a month; and today we recalled him to Upton Park.  What a mess. The poor guy must be utterly bemused. The last time he was called back, Allardyce sat him on the bench and didn’t use…

Word on the street is….

we are interested in Torquay united’s Eunan O’Kane (who?). Apparently he is their star player and has been called up to the R Ireland under 21 team as well. Lots of chitter chatter in Torquay forums saying he has been watched by us and they are already jumping to conclusions he is already off. If I was to have a…

Championship 2011-12: the bloggers’ half-term report

The people who really know their clubs give us the lowdown on the Championship season so far Barnsley How’s it going? I predicted that the negative soothsayers would have called it wrong and so far have been proven correct. Barnsley are not and will not be relegation fodder this season. Being careful to temper my opinions, for a half-season…

A CAT STEALS THE SHOW, BUT THE IRONS PROVE THEY’RE NO LONGER PUSHOVERS

It’s taken me a while to compile my thoughts on the Barnsley match last weekend. As Ebenezer Scrooge once said, ‘Tuppence is tuppence’, and I think the same can be said for a any win: three points is three points. It was possibly one of the most mediocre games of football you’ll see and it never really felt like…
