Twitter haters must be silenced for the good of football – Leo’s London

QPR’s Jay Bothroyd was right at the weekend when he said he should not have to put up with racist abuse. Ignorant, abusive cowards, the hate-filled racist minority and the barely literate are all there on Twitter.

Trading Nolan and Parker.
Posted on 30 November 2011.
So that’s it then, based on last season’s table, a win at home to Burnley will ward off the spectre of relegation to the old Third Division! I say this only slightly tongue in cheek because there were those who, following relegation, warned that going through the Championship, like a backstreet vindaloo in New Delhi through the tummy of…

Liverpool’s Bellyache Brilliant! Fat Belly Not!
Posted on 29 November 2011.
Full marks to Bellyache for wiping away his tears and setting up both Liverpool goals. But what the hell was Fatty Dowd up to? How did he not give that penalty when David Luiz was scythed down in the box. If that wasn’t a penalty then Kennedy wasn’t shot by anybody! Dowd, of …

Middlesbrough 0 West Ham 2 – Professional, Clinical, Wonderful

Frankenstein brought his monster to life in November and Doctor Evil has reanimated West Ham United in similar fashion. We had no right to win tonight. West Ham don’t win that far North.

Half Time Middlesbrough 0 West Ham 1
Posted on 29 November 2011.
So far so good! I questioned the selection of Freddie the Fly Tipper but his goal separates the teams. Middlesbrough weren’t at the races for the first 20 minutes but have come into the game more subsequently and Green has been forced into meaningful action twice. Faubert is playing well and so is Taylor; and Demel is fitting in decently…

Demel starts, Cole & Collison benched!
Posted on 29 November 2011.
Doctor Evil shuffles the pack again, presumably because Cole and Collison can’t cope with two back to back games, even though Cole was withdrawn 20 minutes before the end on Saturday. What is wrong with those two exactly? The team is high on muscle and low on finesse as usual under Allardyce. No complaints from me tonight because we need players…
