I am old enough to remember the Cold War. In fact, I travelled to Berlin to see in the new year for 1990 because of the breach in the Wall. That heralded a new world, an end to the fears of a nuclear Armagedddon, and coincided with the…

OK, the cricket fight back against South Africa was down to a South African, but that apart, and ignoring the bloody football, tonight is a night when we should feel proud to be British. I’m no fan of West Ham’s proposed move…

At this rate, Allardyce is going to be sacked before the season kicks off! We played pretty close to a first pick 11, given the players unavailable due to injury or Olympics duties, and we were thumped. I suppose it was progress on …

He’s back! The man we stupidly sold to fund the signing of Diamante has returned after a decidedly mixed spell at Villa. On the pitch he has been fine, off it, he has proved to be something of a tit…

On my way to work Ian Abrahams (Talkshite) said that his contacts at the club are saying that Carroll wont sign for us and we have turned our attention to Tevez who has apparently said he would be willing ‘to come home’. This deal will only be …

Posted on 01 August 2012.
If it was a psychologically stable Tevez, it would still be madness. But a £36m deal – in salary and incentives alone – for a psychologically iffy, slightly above mediocre striker, is beyond mad and falls into the realm of the utterly surreal. I am still of the opinion that this…

No sooner did I post that we needed three defenders than we edge closer to landing three defenders. It was frightfully impolite of me to call Sullivan stupid, and I take it back given work has clearly been going on behind the scenes to strengthen the defence. Two centre…

Would appear that West Ham have accepted Bristol City’s paltry 1.5 million offer for Sam Baldock. True, he possibly wouldn’t of got a game with us in the Premiership, but maybe he can find his way & his true potential with Bristol City.
