After a decade as a top-flight manager, Allardyce admits he has now exposed himself to a far more “ferocious and volatile” Championship than the one he hoped he had left behind for good when he gained promotion with Bolton Wanderers in 2001. “For every team we play against, we are the big scalp,” Allardyce says…

Allardyce gives Blackburn’s Kean and Bolton’s Coyle a knife in the back for Christmas
Posted on 24 December 2011.
With other managers queueing up to offer support for Steve Kean, Allardyce wasn’t going to allow the little matter of Christmas and the Season of Good Will to All Men to get in the way of blazoning his ego. Would Blackburn and Bolton be in their present plight if Doctor Evil were still in charge?…

David Gold is NOT Dead.
Posted on 24 December 2011.
Despite headlines to the contrary on News Now, I am pleased to report that David Gold is not dead – well not the one that owns West Ham anyway. Another David Gold is dead, but he was not the frontman of West Ham United, he was the front man of “Woods of Ypres”. Seems tough…

QPR’s Warnock Beginning to Bluster
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Oh dear, Neil Warnock is now telling us that there’s not a lot of difference between QPR and the other promoted teams – and is putting the Rs lowly position in the table down to the late arrival of the new owners. This is all very odd because the last time…

Hutch a Roker legend?
Posted on 23 December 2011.
They love him!! The Boxing Day match is one steeped in tradition and one I always look forward to, especially if the fixture list has been kind and Sunderland are at home. Yes there may be one or two hangovers still lingering and an array of dodgy Christmas knitwear on show but given the alternative of the sales or more…

O’Brien, Faye, Lansbury and Faubert available for Birmingham
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Unfortunately Baldock is still out, as are Taylor (injury) and Collison (suspended), but Doctor Evil has more options available to him for the Birmingham game than for the Barnsley match, which is a blessed relief. Presumably this will signal a return to a 4-5-1 formation, with the usual suspects shuffled and square …

Hammers planning on staying in the Championship?
Posted on 23 December 2011.
West Ham considering legal moves against Football League’s plans for financial fair play rules The planned introduction of financial fair play rules for the Football League from next season has caused some angst for at least one of the clubs chasing promotion from the Championship. Indeed so annoyed are West Ham United that they are understood to be…

Should we leave QPR and Fulham to fight over Maynard?
Posted on 22 December 2011.
With his contract running down, Bristol City have decided to give up the fight and let Maynard go. Now whilst the guy will be available at a bargain basement price, is that a good enough reason to sign him? He’s not exactly setting the Championship alight is he? His career …

QPR Drinking in Last Chance Saloon before Christmas.
Posted on 22 December 2011.
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…

One Big Halls Up!
Posted on 21 December 2011.
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…

Mancini questions Bridge motives…….?

From Footymad: Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has questioned Wayne Bridge’s motives for remaining with the Blues. Mancini said: “I don’t understand why there are some players that have a chance to go and play, maybe not in the Premier League but in the Championship, and don’t.” He added: “I…

£95m to REDUCE the capacity to 60,000
Posted on 20 December 2011.
Explain the logic somebody. Why spend £95m to reduce the capacity of a stadium? Why not put a screen around the upper tier seats if empty seats are a problem. Surely when we qualify for the Champions League, we will need the full capacity? And here’s a strange idea, how about offering free seats to all…
