Oh dear, what a shame. After sacking Sven and poaching Pearson, it’s all gone tits up in the Walkers Stadium, with Leicester now a full FIFTEEN points adrift of an automatic promotion place. It is now one win in eight games, and Leicester fans must be looking back on the Sven era wistfully. What flavour Walkers crisps…

Allardyce’s Tactics Explained!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
All is explained! Those of us wondering why we were not more positive after the sending off now have our answer. Quoted on the Official Site, Doctor Evil explains, “Then, of course, the game changed completely when WE went down to ten men”. So, there you have it, poor Sam was confused! He thought WE were a man short! It’s …

Tony Gale will never forgive Hackett
Posted on 14 January 2012.
With the up and coming fixture against Forest I thought I would reminisce a bit. I was fortunate enough to acquire a ticket for that day at Villa Park back in 91. I was one of thousands that queued literally around the stadium a few weeks before the match but it was well worth it…

QPR sink into bottom 3 under Hughes!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
Bring back Warnock! Sack him and what happens? QPR slip into the bottom three for the first time since the opening day thumping against relegation rivals Bolton Walkabouts. The gRs will tell us that it will all be OK when Tevez, Alex, Johnson, Pienaar, Samba and co join, but who will believe in the Fernandes revolution when the Hoops…

Portsmouth 0 West Ham 1 – 3 points but another utterly uninspired performance
Posted on 14 January 2012.
We are joint top! It’s another three points! Allardyce is a genius! Alternatively, our only goal was from the penalty spot, Portsmouth played most of the second half with 10 men, and the shots on goal count stood at 9 to 2 in Portsmouth’s favour over the 90 minutes – and one of our 2 was from the penalty spot! Overall, Portsmouth had 13 shots to…

No Excuses Today at Portsmouth – But the OS is making them!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
So, Allardyce almost has a full squad to choose from for the game at Portsmouth. Only Taylor and Demel are ruled out by injury, and all the key players should be fresh after a two week break. If we don’t win today, the Allardyce bubble will be well and truly burst. He has a squad…

West Ham plus two others in for Celik
Posted on 14 January 2012.
It is reported that free agent Mervan Celik is one of our targets but we have competition… Fulham was the club that initially came in for him but it is thought that deal is now highly unlikely and that left us until Rangers came in for him. It is now a…

QPR Pienaared off and running out of options.
Posted on 13 January 2012.
Another day, another fruitless bid. Yesterday it was Samba, today Pienaar, tomorrow Alex. Not surprisingly, players are reluctant to join QPR in 17th place in the Premiership, and clubs are not happy to deal on the basis of QPR signing now and paying later. The latest rumour centres are Muntari …

No Taylor, No Left Flank
Posted on 13 January 2012.
So Allardyce has signed a big lump for the back, and is offering to buy any striker with more than five goals to his name, but the most glaring hole in the team is still being ignored. When Taylor is fit we have balance on the left but when he is…

Hammers make an official 2 million bid for Marvin Sordell
Posted on 13 January 2012.
Marvin in action West Ham have turned their attentions elsewhere in a bid to strengthen their strikeforce by tabling a £2m offer for England Under-21 striker Marvin Sordell, it has been reported. The Sun is claiming Sam Allardyce has moved for Watford’s top scorer after being frustrated in his efforts to land Huddersfield Town hot-shot Jordan…

Ryoichi ‘Ricky’ Maeda flies in to join the Hammers
Posted on 13 January 2012.
Japan striker Ryoichi Maeda is poised to join to England’s West Ham United after flying to London to train with the Championship (second division) club, local media reported on Friday. West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, whose team are chasing promotion to the Premier League, has promised the Jubilo Iwata forward an answer …

Kevin Davies NOT coming to West Ham…

Thank fuck! Owen Coyle says there is no substance to reports claiming Kevin Davies could be reunited with former Bolton boss Sam Allardyce at West Ham. It has been suggested that the experienced frontman could soon be on his way out of the Reebok Stadium after falling out of favour. Allardyce is said to be keen …

QPR P**S**G IN THE WIND IN TRANSFER MARKET
Posted on 12 January 2012.
Well Samba wants to get the hell out of Blackburn, but strangely he doesn’t seem keen on joining QPR. In fact, he doesn’t even seem keen on joining Tottenham. Instead, the great Blackburn lump has his eyes on Paris, openly inviting a bid from PSG. Fernandes can offer £15m in the certain knowledge that the …

Allardyce confirms his priorities as John signs.

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth. Confirming why he signed George John, an uncapped American defender – and even Spector has 31 caps for the Not Stars and Stripes remember and is only a year older – Doctor Evil explained that he is a defender who has “the right stature and the right ability and the…

John Tomkins One of the best defenders we have had Aston Villa are lining up Tomkins as Collins replacement. James Collins is linked away from Villa Park and McLeish is desperately looking for a replacement. Tomkins is seen as the ideal player to come in and take over the mantle. Jimmy Kebe If this is true …

No News Is Bad News
Posted on 11 January 2012.
Another day ticks by, and still we await the first signing. We had a fortnight between the Coventry game and the Pompey match to recruit new players, and that is now down to just two days. So, there will be no new striker to bang in the goals and no new winger to supply the ammunition, obviously. So how …

WEST HAM’S BOYS OF ’86 JUST FAIL TO UPSET THE ODDS Tony Cottee and Frank McAvennie’s goals kept John Lyall’s Hammers pushing Liverpool all the way in the 1985/86 season. Even in the days of Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst, West Ham never challenged for the championship, but with Scottish striker McAvennie rising to promience…

QPR and Mark Hughes – Makes sense on paper.
Posted on 10 January 2012.
So Fernandes, to give him his due, has acted quickly and decisively. With poor old Warnock clearly floundering, the Malaysian hasn’t buggered around, he’s simply got rid and recruited the best guy currently available as a replacement. Hughes has been there and got the t shirt, so looks like a safe pair of hands. The …

…we will be renamed West Ham All Stars before you know it! How good are these players? Well worryingly Allardyce has no idea. As he admitted on Radio 5, he doesn’t bother to check out players personally, he trusts to his scouts. Whereas Stoke’s Tony Pulis insists on seeing a player perform live before he …

Pigs might fly! Well Frank might fly then! But he sure as hell won’t be heading back to Upton Park as one ridiculous report on the net suggests.

Allardyce comes clean and says "Blame me!"
Posted on 08 January 2012.
After West Ham’s humiliating exit from the FA Cup at Sheffield Wednesday, manager Sam Allardyce has put his hands up and admitted that his tactical limitations are behind West Ham’s failure to score more than a single goal in each of the last seven games. Speaking after the long journey back to London, Allardyce said: “Some managers …

QPR’s patience with Neil Warnock has run out and the great motor mouth has been replaced after a disastrous run of games which has seen the Rs collect just one point from the last 21. With relegation fears growing, new owner Tony Fernandes has panicked and sacked the man who led QPR to promotion…

ELEVEN minutes of injury time and we still can’t score!

OK, a number of key players were rested from the game, but the situation is now getting desperate. In the last seven games our goal return has been: 1,0,1,1,1,1,0. That isn’t a problem, that is a crisis. We were playing against a Third Division team managed by Gary Megson today for pity’s sake! And our opponents in the previous games …
