Interesting. Despite a one hour meeting after the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, Old Big Gob is still unclear how much money will be made available to him in the January transfer window. Those hoping for a bumper spending spree might be concerned by Warnock’s dampening of expectations with the former QPR manager saying, “If we get the four loanees tied up and Diouf as …

Sunderland Win Spells Disaster For QPR & Bad News For West Ham
Posted on 12 December 2012.
Things are getting too tight for comfort outside of the bottom two. Reading and QPR are going down. Even if they put together a run of results, the inevitable run of defeats that will follow will suck them back into the relegation quicksand. You can’t have less than 10 points at this stage of the season and…

Allardyce to poach Hell Hadji from Leeds
Posted on 11 December 2012.
You heard it here first. Leeds can’t afford the Spitting Image’s wages and his agent claims two Premiership clubs are interested in signing him in January. Doctor Evil wanted him last season but the Board blocked it, sensitive to the uneasy relationship Allardyce had with the fans. Now, with Big Sam flavour of the month – well of November at least – Sullivan and Gold are ready…

West Ham Injury Curse Strikes Again
Posted on 11 December 2012.
The injury to Diame is the latest in a long list of cruel injuries blows. Carroll is out for his second extended stretch. Collison has been out all season. Diarra hasn’t kicked a ball in anger yet and I forgot he was at the club! Benayoun has barely played. Demel spends as much time on the treatment…

West Ham 2 Liverpool 3 – Rule of the Ex strikes with a vengeance
Posted on 09 December 2012.
For a while there, we were getting excited. Back to back victories over Chelsea and Liverpool, after going behind in each. Perhaps there really was a changing of the guard. Perhaps we could really look up rather than down when hoping for results in other games. But then again, perhaps not. There was no shame in this …

Former Tottenham and West Ham Striker Mido Must Be Banned For Racist
Posted on 09 December 2012.
Dear God, West Ham fans shamed the club with their racist chanting at Tottenham but they were mocking the dead, Mido has gone further by tweeting “Oh Lord burn them” referring to the living population of Israel. Now I don’t care where your sympathies lie in relation to the Israel-Palestine debate, to tweet this is utterly unacceptable. I objected to West Ham fans directing shoe bomber chants at Mido …

Diame Departing In January
Posted on 09 December 2012.
I think we might as well accept that, barring a leg break – which won’t help us! – Diame is packing up his new kit bag and buggering off in January. First Gold confirms the release clause, then Allardyce comes out and admits that if the right price is offered, he is powerless to retain Diame. What we need now is for Diame to come out and say that he is not interested in…

Watford’s Sixth Place Still Realistic Target For Leeds
Posted on 09 December 2012.
Leeds United came down to earth with a bump yesterday, losing to a very average Derby County team but with Watford losing at home to Hull and Leicester drawing against Barnsley, all is not lost for Warnock’s boys. Amazingly, despite having lost as many games as they have won – showing classic mid table form – Leeds are still only 4 points off a play off place. That shows what a mediocre division this is! Leeds fans…

Wigan’s Reserves Expose Redknapp’s Granddad QPR Army
Posted on 09 December 2012.
Wow, QPR are even worse than I thought. ‘Arry came in and waved his magic wand and nothing happened. So he waved it again and nothing happened. So he waved it again and then snapped it in two and shoved it up Rosie’s backside. This is a really poor team, every bit as poor as the West Ham team that went down under Grant. The back four are shocking, the midfield is average at best, and…

Clough Returns To Haunt Leeds
Posted on 08 December 2012.
Brian will be raising a glass of his favourite tipple as we speak, and Revie will be turning in his grave. The Leeds charge was halted today and the bubble of optimism well and truly burst. Even before the other games are played, Leeds have slipped down the table and the gap between the once mighty Whites and…

What is Gold up to with Diame?
Posted on 08 December 2012.
Very odd that Chairman Gold has tweeted that Diame has a release clause in his contract. It’s almost as if we accept he is going to leave and we are hoping to trigger some sort of bidding war. But if the release clause figure is met, why would the buying club have to offer more? I’m not totally convinced by Diame…

Di Canio Calls Mexicans Ugly and Slams QPR Players For poor Discipline, Attitude and Behaviour
Posted on 07 December 2012.
Which one is Paolo? Bless. Swindon manager PDC has trodden on a dish of tortillas with his verdict on Movember. The adorable fascist said of himself in a moustache “There are many pictures of how I looked last month, but they are very ugly. It was better than last year when I looked like a 60-year-old man, although this time I looked like a Mexican.” I am sure the Mexican nation is charmed! As for …

QPR Can’t Afford To Keep Taarabt in January
Posted on 07 December 2012.
After paying Mercedes prices for clapped out Kias with expired warranties, QPR and Redknapp are facing the wrong way in a one way street with no reverse gear and a knackered clutch. The players signed by Hughes, Warnock and Fernandes are on inflated wage packets – that’s why Green jumped from the Good…

Name Of Leeds United Must Not Be Slurred Because Of "Superfan"

Just as I stood out against those who tried to slur the name of Leeds United based on the fact that Jimmy Savile was born in the City, so any temptation to knock the club because of the actions of one paedophile “superfan” must be resisted. Fawcett is a disgusting wretch who, in no…

Leeds Fans Green With Envy As West Ham Close In On The Olympic Stadium

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Poor old Leeds United. It seems Leeds fans are getting decidedly uppity about West Ham securing the Olympic Stadium at a cost to the club of just fifteen million pounds. Dear God, that’s three million less than Leeds paid for Robbie Keane en route to bankruptcy or…

Redknapp Becomes Scrooge At QPR And Cancels The Christmas Party
Posted on 05 December 2012.
Hughes was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Redknapp signed it. And Redknapp’s name was good upon ‘Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Sparky was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own…

West Ham Will Be Awarded Olympic Stadium Tomorrow – Wednesday December 5

All the speculation ends tomorrow. Some time after 10 am on Wednesday December 12, West Ham will at last be confirmed as the new tenants of the Olympic Stadium – for better or for worse. Spurs tried to derail the deal and only achieved delays. Orient tried too and only triggered derision. Even the Yanks tried to bid for the home of the London Olympics and were rightly told where…

QPR to Sign First Of Redknapp’s Old Boys

So ‘Arry is up to his usual tricks. It’s not what you know but who you know with the former Portsmouth, Tottenham, Southampton, West Ham and Bournemouth manager, and Redknapp knows Bellend-Haim and, no doubt, knows his agent. Rosie would be wagging her tail at the prospect of his signing if she hadn’t gone to the great bone yard in the sky! Will Ben Haim improve the…

Carroll Finds Some Fighting Spirit At Last!

Bloody shame it was on a night out instead of in the heat of battle! Well, if the allegations are true, it was in the heat of battle, but not in the context of a football match! Of course, the allegations may be false. It’s perfectly possible the journalist was attacked by a lamp post and it’s a simple case of mistaken identity. Given Carroll’s mobility on a football …

Allardyce Angling For Chelsea Job
Posted on 03 December 2012.
What a brown nose! Fresh from humiliating Benny Benitez, Allardyce seems to be doing his level best to land the Chelsea job. With West Ham’s pulsating second half performance fresh in Roman’s mind, Allardyce has stuck his tongue so far up the Russian’s arse that he has syringed his ears! Listen to him! “Roman is the owner of Chelsea…

Watford’s Zola To Give Mancini A Footballing Lesson

It’s a mouth watering prospect – Zola’s free flowing Watford at the Etihad to take on Mancini’s malfunctioning machine. Who knows, by the end of the game, Zola may be in the frame to take over at Man City or even at his beloved Chelsea. His stock is certainly soaring at the moment. In fact, it makes you wonder what went wrong at Upton Park given Clarke’s record at West Brom and Zola’s at

Liverpool’s Suarez Out For Upton Park Visit
Posted on 03 December 2012.
You have to laugh. Having lent us Andy One Goal A Season Carroll, Liverpool now find themselves without a striker for their visit to the Boleyn because of Suarez’s suspension. Carroll, of course, will sit the game out himself because of a double whammy – a knee injury and the rule that prevents you playing against the club that owns your registration. There can’t be many occasions over the last 30 years when…

Noble Must Be Dropped After Chelsea Fiasco

How on earth is the guy in the team? Didn’t Allardyce see that foul which saw Chelsea hit the base of the post from the subsequent free kick?
