If the 1-6 scoreline didn’t make GFH gasp, and the fact that Leeds are now sitting in seventeenth in the table hasn’t raised question marks over the deal, then surely the pitiful attendance for the Watford game has caused some head scratching inside the accountancy department of…

Newcastle 0 West Ham 1 – 18 Points Banked!
Posted on 11 November 2012.
Well it wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t very skilful either. There was very little Academy about it. The passing was generally poor. The crossing was generally dire. The football rarely flowed. Brooking might have winced. Peters too. Hurst would have wondered why Carroll was on the pitch. …

Half Time Newcastle 0 West Ham 1 – Expect Fireworks Second Half
Posted on 11 November 2012.
Well in terms of quality, the game has been dire. Neither side can string five passes together and the quality of the final ball into the box has been dire. West Ham have managed one good move – and it wasn’t for the goal – with Nolan planting the ball…

Blame the referee says Warnock after Leeds crash 1-6 to Watford!
Posted on 11 November 2012.
Too right too Neil. The decision to send off Pearce was disgraceful. Never mind that it was a cynical and deliberate foul designed to prevent Watford from opening Leeds up yet again, and never mind that Vydra was completely pole axed by the challenge, it was never…

Full Marks to Watford’s Zola!
Posted on 10 November 2012.
Well done GianFredo! It’s true that Leeds were reduced to nine men and that Warnock made life easy for Watford by announcing his tactics 48 hours before kick off, but Zola’s men were inspired today. Maybe, just maybe, Zola is finding …

Unlucky Leeds Suffer Cruel Reverse At Home To Watford
Posted on 10 November 2012.
Well when your luck is out… Poor Neil Warnock and Leeds United. Why, oh why, are manager and club suffering such cruel luck this season? Warnock couldn’t understand how Leeds lost at Burnley and he is sure to be scratching his head…

Andy Carroll Out To Impress Pardew
Posted on 10 November 2012.
It’s a pretty strange situation isn’t it? Andy Carroll will be playing for Allardyce and West Ham, whilst desperately trying to impress Pardew and Newcastle. He wanted to stay at Liverpool, he would have preferred to go home to Newcastle, but he ended up…

Middlesbrough Ratchet Up Pressure On Leicester, Cardiff, Crystal Palace, Forest & Leeds
Posted on 10 November 2012.
New day, new leaders of the Championship. Last season it was always pretty clear cut. Southampton led the way, with West Ham squarely on their shoulders – until Reading went on their amazing run and came through at the elbow to steal the glory. Come the Prem, and the two…

Take Over Of Leeds Lost In Translation
Posted on 09 November 2012.
So, yesterday, ahead of the Watford game, the BBC proclaimed that the take over of Leeds United FC was “imminent” and predicted that it “could happen within days”. Well yes it could, but then again, it could not. Leeds are now down to fifteenth in the table and …

Hodgson Overlooks West Ham Players Again!
Posted on 09 November 2012.
So what is it with Woy? Is he trying to endear himself with the Liverpool fans after his unhappy time with the club? Why are Shelvey and Sterling in the squad, but Noble and Nolan aren’t? Nolan, for me, is one of the great missed opportunities…

Fernandes Turns Off Transfer Tap At QPR
Posted on 08 November 2012.
Has Fernandes blown his wad? He’s stepping back in Formula 1 and has now said that there will be no splurge of money in the January transfer window. The Malaysian West Ham fan pointedly says that Hughes has “a good enough squad” and complains, “We’ve made…

Leeds v Watford: Gung Ho Versus Gok Wan!
Posted on 08 November 2012.
So Old Big Gob has decided to throw caution to the wind and go on to the offensive. Stung by statistics which show that Leeds have had less shots than any other team in the division and less shots on target too, Warnock has decided to…

Society of Black Lawyers Target Tottenham

Bloody absurd. I have no problem with calls to stop the “Yid Army” chants, nor with the insistence that Spurs clamp down on away fans hissing – I have called for action on here and in forums in the past – but I…

Avram Changes Sports But Not His Habits!
Posted on 07 November 2012.
So Avram will be due another dose of atonement, and a dose of penicillin if he’s not been careful. The guy who was famously caught with his trousers down in a Pompey massage parlour and who was right royally screwed by Princess Brady at…

Warnock Mugged & Calls For Death Sentence after Burnley Defeat

Old Big Gob is cracking. He doesn’t make much sense at the best of times and is prone to mountains and oceans of hyperbole every time he gets a tiny bit excited but his comments after the Burnley game take a…

Warnock Edging Closer to Leeds Exit
Posted on 06 November 2012.
Where were Leeds in the table when Warnock took charge? Eighth wasn’t it? Where are they 10 months later? Fifteenth. Now of course the die hard blinkered flat caps will say that all is not lost, that a few results will see Leeds climb the table, that …

Burnley v Leeds – A Season Defining Game For Both Clubs
Posted on 06 November 2012.
Look at the table and tonight’s encounter screams mid table mediocrity! Leeds sit in 12th place, comfortably adrift of the top 3, and Burnley in 13th, well above the bottom three. Revert to the old system of three up and three down – which would have seen…

Southampton Lose Again As Steve Clarke’s Reputation Grows
Posted on 06 November 2012.
Well bless me, Mr Bibs and Cones is doing well isn’t he? He came to West Ham with a great reputation but, tied by chain and ball to the legs of Zola, floundered. Then it was up to Liverpool and, tied by ball and chain…

Would Messi Waste His Talents At Liverpool?
Posted on 05 November 2012.
Brendan, Brendan, Brendan, think before you speak. Suarez already has enough reasons for wanting to leave Liverpool – crap team, crime ridden city, eeee Stevie Gerrard and eeee Jamie Carragher – so the last thing he needs to hear is that he …

QPR 1 Reading 1 – Perfect, Just Perfect!
Posted on 04 November 2012.
So is Allardyce writing the script for this season’s Prem? We went into the weekend fearing the clubs at the bottom might close the gap but so far, so good. QPR remain joint rock bottom, despite all that financial outlay by Fernandes…

We were robbed!
Posted on 03 November 2012.
I didn’t realise at the time, but Nolan’s goal was perfectly legitimate – and it was beautifully taken. Superb ball in from Noble, who also played a wonderful pass out to Jarvis. So much for erring on the side of the striker! Useless bloody officials!

After defeating Leicester, Zola’s Watford on the shoulder of once mighty Leeds!
Posted on 03 November 2012.
What a crap arse division this “Championship” is! Despite picking up just 3 points from the last 12, Warnock’s mediocre Leeds are still only three points behind sixth placed Blackburn. Mind you, that still leaves them in twelfth place and five points behind little old Hull City – how the mighty have fallen! …

Massacre on Green Street. Allardici Slaughtered By Mancinyce!
Posted on 03 November 2012.
So what happened there then? Little old West Ham, certainties for an immediate return to the Championship apparently, took on megabucks Unreal City and came away with a creditable draw. True we were at home, and true Man City had 61% of the possession, but…

King Kenny of Leeds, the Best Keeper In the Country!

Brighton 2 Leeds 2 – Kenny Saves Leggy Leeds
Posted on 02 November 2012.
A creditable draw it is true, but 3 points from the last 12 is not the platform for a promotion push, and even the most diehard Leeds fan would have to admit that Warnock’s charges were lucky to come away from this one with a draw. Brighton were the…
