Well the Birmingham game summed it up for me. Piquionne and Faubert are a waste of space. The Fly Tipper has appeared 20 times this season and scored just 2 goals, and one of those was a rebound as he lay on the ground bemused. He is not a winger, to be fair…

How poor are Piquionne and Faubert?

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…

Birmingham 1 West Ham 1 – A hugely expensive point.
Posted on 26 December 2011.
Well I very nearly called it exactly right on December 15 when I predicted bookings for Nolan and Faubert, although I must admit that I expected them to negotiate a day off on Boxing Day, not this coming Saturday. But perhaps their New Year’s parties are a long drive away so they need …

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 …

WEST HAM vs BIRMINGHAM PREVIEW
Posted on 26 December 2011.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and that you’re all enjoying Boxing Day. For me, Christmas is all about being back at my parents’ house with my two sisters – and now my niece and brother-in-law – and eating, drinking and being merry. Of course, there is always even more excitement when West Ham…

A Season Defining Game
Posted on 26 December 2011.
I said it before the Middlesbrough game and unfortunately that fantastic victory was followed by the miserable results against Burnley and Reading. So much for season defining games. But this one really, really is! Just as West Ham don’t do away games up North in the cold early winter, so West Ham don’t, traditionally, do well when stuffed with …

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: …

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?…

Brilliant Allardyce is so misunderstood
Posted on 24 December 2011.
He is’t a long ball merchant at all. He doesn’t advocate a bludgeoning style of football based on percentages and fitness levels. No, Doctor Evil is flexible and a fan of the beautiful game, providing that your definition of beauty is winning of course. Talking at the Telegraph, Sam explains that it was a charitable act to take on…

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…

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?

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…
