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?…

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 …

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…

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 …

This is getting more stupid by the minute. Terry faces legal action BECAUSE he used the word black, and now Hansen has apologised for not using it! So bloody what that he used the word “coloured”? He isn’t in South Africa and it wasn’t meant to be insulting in any way whatsoever. Somebody…

Dear God, as we bugger around trying to put together a team good enough to bludgeon it’s way to promotion, it hurts to see ex players performing so successfully in the shirts of other teams. This isn’t another gripe about selling the golden generation, because, to be honest, Rio and the loathed Lampard apart, none of them have proved that special…

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…

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…
