What should the club do with James Tomkins? Following the recent press coverage of the arrest of James Tomkins at the weekend, what should the club do about it? It certainly puts West Ham United boss, Sam Allardyce, in a difficult position. As supporters, we don’t know the full facts of the case, but to be arrested for being drunk and disorderly, assaulting a Police Officer and Resisting Arrest, doesn’t really look very good does it? I was surprised to hear that it was James Tomkins in trouble, as…

Outclassed and into the bottom two! Blame Allardyce!
Posted on 26 December 2013.
I haven’t had a chance to listen to Allardyce’s whinges yet, having just got back from the game, but it’s a pretty safe bet that he is bemoaning missed chances, injuries and silly mistakes. What he will almost certainly not say is: “We are second from bottom and rightly so. Our football has been shit for most of the season and there’s no point in me moaning about missed chances because I have constructed a squad of players …

Curbishley’s back! At Fulham thank God!
Posted on 25 December 2013.
Well we thought he had shot his bolt when he walked off in a huff because of the sale of Anton and McCarthorse. Curbishley was linked with a whole string of jobs but nothing materialised and even his talking head appearances on TV seemed to have dried up; not surprisingly given his hang dog look and East End accent. But Turds is back! And not as a coach, nor a manager. No! He is back as the “Technical …

James Tomkins faces prison sentence after alleged assault on police officer
Posted on 23 December 2013.
Bloody hell, West Ham had better find a crack lawyer and quick. Following his arrest, the club somehow needs to prove that the doorman and arresting officers are Tottenham fans and that this is a working class equivalent of Plebgate; because if the officers are telling the truth, then JT could well find himself doing a stretch inside. Drunk and disorderly is one thing. Chinning a pleb is usually admissible if you are a superstar footballer. But resisting …

Who could be leaving West Ham in January?
Posted on 22 December 2013.
West Ham are always linked with every player going when the transfer window comes around. Likewise our own players always seem to be linked with moves; two in particular have been frequently mentioned. The first player that is always linked to be leaving is Winston Reid. Arguably our best player, who we’ve really struggled without the last few games and I really hope he can start playing again soon but it…

Manchester United 1 West Ham 1 – Let’s ignore the first 45 minutes!
Posted on 21 December 2013.
Well it could have been much, much worse. A goal down far too early and two goals behind at half time, the clever money was on the Mancs to run in four, five or six. But credit where credit is due, we maintained our effort levels and actually drew the second half 1-1. To be honest, with Rooney pulling the strings brilliantly, we were always up against it. If only injury had kept him on the side lines, we might have come away…

My Best West Ham XI
Posted on 19 December 2013.
I was down the pub with friends and family before our game at Sunderland and had a conversation regarding the Roy Keane/Patrick Vieira documentary. I personally would have picked Keane just because he was everything a Captain should be! Oh don’t worry, this isn’t another Nolan witch hunt! No comments on the current bile. I loved the fact he literally put the team in front of personal goals for Man Utd i.e. Champions League Final…

Tottenham 1 West Ham 2 – Truly remarkable! What do I know?
Posted on 18 December 2013.
Well has anybody ever been more wrong? I lambasted the team selection. I said if Spurs scored, there would be no way back – and we could have scored five! And I mocked Jarvis and Maiga, the two goal scorers. Add in criticism of the inclusion of Adrian, who was excellent, Diarra who played with real composure, and Taylor who set up the Jarvis equaliser brilliantly and also forced a superb save from Lloris, and I couldn’t have…

West Ham Link To Spot Fixing Investigation
Posted on 18 December 2013.
So our former big white Colombian hope, Christian Montano has been dismissed by Oldham Pathetic because of the Spot Fixing allegation. Young Montano is presently launching a claim for unfair dismissal (he learnt something from Curbishley then!) but it seems strange that the club would do something so drastic without being pretty sure of their ground. Of course, this is not the first time there has been a link between West Ham and Spot Fixing.Years back there was a rumour centred around a throw-in conceded immediately …
