Well according to the Sun YES! BLACKBURN face relegation if they do not sack boss Steve Kean — and that is official. History shows teams in the bottom three on January 1 are far more likely to survive if they change their manager. A report by the makers of the ‘Football Manager’ games…

West Ham made bid for Jordan Rhodes?
Posted on 29 December 2011.
SAM ALLARDYCE has made a £3million bid for Huddersfield wonderkid Jordan Rhodes . Rhodes, 21, is the most talked about striker outside the Premier League. He has already scored 20 goals in 20 League One appearances this season. His huge tally includes all four in the 4-4 draw with Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on December 17 and a classy winner against Chesterfield …

Lucky Leicester Fail Again!
Posted on 28 December 2011.
Tell me, why wasn’t Konchesky shown red when he chopped down Martin at the knee to concede the penalty? The Ipswich man had a clear run on goal and Konch was unquestionably the last defender. The foul was crude and cynical and would surely have secured red if committed a yard OUTSIDE the box. But referee Drysdale bottled it, deeming the…

Birmingham had Spector at right back and we still couldn’t beat them!
Posted on 26 December 2011.
Says it all really, doesn’t it? Time and again we saw opposition teams take us apart down whichever flank Spector was stationed on, but today, Piquionne lacked the desire, the gumption, the pace and the supply to take advantage of the Wank. We were handed our goal on a plate – just like at Brighton – and…

The Pressure Builds!
Posted on 26 December 2011.
Bugger. Boro have just won so are sitting above us in table. If we lose today, the sweat patches will grow under “I’ve never failed” Doctor Evil’s armpits. I called today a “season defining game” and that’s even more true now! The team selection is odd. Still no Faye so Potts gets another start. But Allardyce has left Lansbury on …

So who were the best and worst fans Dowie played for?
Posted on 25 December 2011.
In my early days, the Luton lot were a good bunch. Kenilworth Road is tight and even with 8-10,000 in, they made a lot of noise. We fed off each other. But I would have to say West Ham’s fans were about the best I played for. I think it helped that I knew what they were about. When I…

Students interview our boss
Posted on 25 December 2011.
“Big Sam” Allardyce is quite a baffling contradiction. While he is tall rather than gigantic, and broad rather than vast – although his hands and feet seem impossibly powerful – it is his deep Lancashire tones rather than sheer physical size that creates a persona of absolute authority. The voice is undoubtedly his most striking feature: …

Merry Christmas To Hammers Fans and QPR’s Grrrs!

It’s Christmas and I am a little tipsy. I hope Santa brings you everything you desire. For Hammers fans that’s easy, a return to the Premier League in May and an opportunity to reach inside Princess Brady’s Christmas stockings. For the Grrrs, it may just be survival in the Prem and a grope …

Zman to become the new Don?
Posted on 24 December 2011.
Jokingly I posted a story about Don Hutchinson and him breaking two records Arriving, leaving, arriving and leaving once more costing us a grand total of 7 million quid (in total) in the process. Well if the Mail is anything to go by (generally isn’t) we are about to eclipse the Hutch deal and buy Zman back…

‘Promotion is the only thing’ Sam
Posted on 24 December 2011.
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…

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…

Shut Up Collymore You Great Twitter!
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Well he was a complete arse when he was playing and a complete arse when he went dogging, so I suppose it should be no surprise that he is a complete arse as a pundit. Firing off unnecessarily because of Hansen’s “coloured” faux pas, Collymore couldn’t resist the rather pathetic, ” What colour would that be?…

If you had to pick
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has stepped up his search for potential January recruits this week with the emergence of two attacking prospects that are on West Ham’s radar. The first of these is Japanese international striker Ryoichi Maeda. The 30-year-old currently plays for Jubilo Iwata in the Japanese League, and his contract is set to…

Hammers planning on staying in the Championship?

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…

John Terry Charge is Absurd!
Posted on 21 December 2011.
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 …

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…

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…
