So, with Birmingham hoping for a takeover and Leeds in the throes of a “period of transition”, two very different approaches have been adopted as both “sleeping giants” seek to revive their fortunes by signing players on loan. Lee Clark has opted for youth and ability, taking young Hall to St Andrews to team up with Ravel Morrison, whilst Old Big Gob has gone with the tired and tested, adding two more old nags to his stable of “fit for the knacker’s”. Time will tell which policy will prove the more successful. Of course time was when…

Warnock on FA Rap After Leeds Defeat at Millwall – Absurd!
Posted on 20 November 2012.
Oh dear God, what’s wrong with the FA? Old Big Gob simply said that officials saw what they wanted to see and that the game had gone soft. Too right too. Football is a man’s game. You should be able to elbow an opponent in the face, …

So, according to The Independent, Hughes was invited to tender his resignation and refused; and the Board were unable to sack him because, without the approval of Fernandes, they can’t trigger a £5m compensation pay off. What a bloody mess, What’s the point…

Stoke’s Pulis Admits to Cheating Against West Ham
Posted on 20 November 2012.
Now I’m not about to get hypocritical here. Last night, I said that Stoke’s goal was the best worked set piece I have ever seen, and that judgement holds. The run of Walters was brilliant, the pass was perfect, the finish was superb, and the overall execution of …

West Ham 1 Stoke 1 – Two Precious Points Lost, One Precious Point Won
Posted on 19 November 2012.
First off, credit where credit is due. I don’t care how much holding there was in the box for the Stoke goal – every team does it, it’s just Stoke are better at it – the corner was the most wonderfully crafted set piece goal I have EVER seen…

African Cup of Nations Confirms West Ham’s Need For Full Back Recruitments

Jarvis and Benayoun to start against Stoke?
Posted on 19 November 2012.
No definite news on the Jarvis and Benayoun front. Both came off early against Newcastle and with the extra day’s recovery time, let’s hope both are fit to start tonight. If not, Allardyce has a problem. Maiga doesn’t yet cut it for me, despite that goal. …

QPR Crisis Deepens as Sunderland Win at Fulham and Warnock of Leeds Plunges in the Knife!
Posted on 18 November 2012.
It never rains but it pours. Mark Hughes walked out on Fulham claiming they couldn’t match his ambition, but I bet he was praying for Jol’s band of no futures to win today. No such luck for the hapless Sparky, as Fulham went down to…

And all this with Warnock’s predecessor in the pundit’s chair. How much longer can this continue? Warnock can’t fault the lads again, the team are “a bit thin on the ground”, the team “played well”, the game has “got soft” because an elbow …

Why QPR need not panic
Posted on 18 November 2012.
At times like this there seems no hope. Four points from twelve games? That puts you on target to finish with 12 points over a 38 game season. But one win changes everything. Win the next match and you are suddenly on course for 20 points. Win the next and you…

He was diplomatic – Mark Hughes is a great manager – but ‘Arry said, “We’ll wait and see” when asked on Match of the Day if he would take the QPR job. If that’s not a “Come and get me” call I don’t know what is!

Warnock Throws In the Towel at Leeds

West Ham May Lose Big Three In January
