Just in case youngsters Hall, Spence and Potts missed his post match rant, Allardyce has put his criticism into print and warned them that they are in danger of being shipped out of the club – and this is on the back of one bad TEAM performance. As man management…

Are Gulf Finance House Good News For Leeds United?
Posted on 28 September 2012.
Leeds fans have reached for the tissues at the prospect of getting rid of Master Bates, and they are certainly not crying tears of affection, but how closely has anybody looked at the new owners? The early rumours suggested Bahrain based oil billionaires, but a simple …

Zola’s Watford Sinking Fast
Posted on 27 September 2012.
So Watford sit fifth from bottom in the Championship, just two points above a relegation place. It is early days of course, but Watford’s struggles are unsurprising for West Ham fans who witnessed Zola’s incompetence at Upton Park. He is a nice guy, no denying that, but…

Tony Cottee Reveals He Knows NOTHING About Football!
Posted on 27 September 2012.
What an idiot! Tony Cottee played in over 600 games and scored more than 200 league goals but he clearly knows nothing about football! The poor misguided fool has expressed delight at Noble signing a new contract and despite Mark’s obvious inability, has described him as a “skilful…

Ken Bates Vindicated As Leeds Take Over Nears Completion
Posted on 27 September 2012.
Leeds fans hate him, but if the take over happens – and it looks long odds on now – then the Chairman will deserve huge credit. He inherited a sow’s ear from Ridsdale (via Krasner) and may just have fashioned the proverbial silk purse. Why is…

Beating Kids Around The Head With Club, Allardyce Style!
Posted on 27 September 2012.
August 27th, 1973. Ipswich at home. West Ham selected a bright young keeper by the name of Mervyn Day. The result 3-3 which suggests an indifferent night at best for the young debutant. Greenwood’s reaction? He praised his young keeper to the heavens and said he …

Farewell To John Bond
Posted on 26 September 2012.
I am too young to remember Muffin in a West Ham shirt – and that’s saying something I know – but I hold fond memories of his time at Bournemouth and Norwich. Indeed I vaguely remember a pre season friendly in the early seventies that I attended…

Full Marks to Warnock and Leeds
Posted on 26 September 2012.
Top marks to Warnock and his charges for their epic victory over Everton. On paper it looked a difficult game but from what I saw before I fell asleep – we are two hours ahead over here, it had been thirty plus degrees all…

Allardyce Must Carry Can For Humiliating Defeat
Posted on 26 September 2012.
What a disgrace. Allardyce is pointing the finger at his players but when you make nine changes, play a defence that have never worked together as a unit, include a kid at left back and a guy who couldn’t command a place in Bristol City’s team last season, …

Mark Noble, A Hammer Throw Back
Posted on 24 September 2012.
So Mark Noble, aged 25, is about to sign a five year contract, coming as close as anybody can to committing an entire career to the club that nurtured him. He had his chance to move this summer, Fulham definitely enquired, and he could have run …

Bates Buying Time At Leeds By Hinting At Limited Sell Out
Posted on 23 September 2012.
So Master Bates has fed Leeds fans a few scraps in his program notes and suddenly all the natives are happy. But look closer, and what has the Chairman actually revealed? The club are in advanced talks with a prospective buyer. Check. We knew that some …

Fortress Upton Park As ‘Arry Tips West Ham For Mid Table
Posted on 23 September 2012.
One defeat at home in 2012 and, as ‘Arry says, with Nolan feeding off of Carroll and good wide men getting in crosses, we will score goals. With Old Bag Puss ducking a Lineker invitation to criticise Allardyce’s tactics on MOTD, it was good to hear his opinion that …

A Great Weekend For Warnock’s Leeds As Young Pole Scores
Posted on 22 September 2012.
Wow, what a weekend it has been so far. First Blackburn crashed to defeat, then Cardiff lost whilst Leeds beat Forest. That means three of the probable top six have lost whilst Leeds secured maximum points. Now Warnock will be hoping for Blackpool to…

West Ham 1 Sunderland 1 – Black Cats’ Nine Lives Exhausted Late On!
Posted on 22 September 2012.
Well, a point was disappointing, but the performance was exciting. True, you should be able to put more than one goal past a defence featuring Bramble, O’Shea and Rose, but Sunderland rode their luck in an outrageous way and with decent finishing we could have …

Half Time West Ham 0 Sunderland 1 – Black Cats Have Nine Lives!
Posted on 22 September 2012.
Disappointing that we are behind, of course, but we could and probably should have had three goals by now. Vav Te missed with a header, Cole jumped too early and ballooned a header wide, and Nolan has had three chances, one …

Noble Putting In The Hard Yards
Posted on 22 September 2012.
Interesting stats are emerging. Those puzzled by the inclusion of Reid alongside Collins might be surprised to learn that he is the fastest player in the division, clocking in at 23.38mph. Pace at the heart of a defence is invaluable, particularly when the partner and…

Sullivan & Gold to be Knighted?

Bless. The two men who happily saw West Ham relegated (under Roeder) have again explained that their ownership of West Ham United has nothing to do with making a profit. In fact with huge debts still hanging albatross like around the …

Warnock Has Confused Priorities At Leeds

Another day, another defeat. And Leeds didn’t lose against Hull because they were short of strikers – two goals should be enough to win any home game – but because they are as leaky at the back as an incontinent granny after a…

Take Over Tuesday At Leeds
Posted on 18 September 2012.
So this is it then, the day all Leeds fans – Lorimer apart – have been praying for, the day when Master Bates packs up his box of Kleenex and vacates the premises, leaving the door open for camel riding Arabs to make the reverse journey…

Gold Wants To have His Cake And Eat It!
Posted on 17 September 2012.
So, does Gold have his head so far up his arse that he doesn’t know what is happening? Before the season kicked off, West Ham seemed to be trying to implement a unilateral wage cap. Quickly realising that this was a sure fire way of returning to the Championship …

Redknapp Rejects 70 Page Dossiers

Well he would wouldn’t he? The poor geezer can’t reed and rite proper like, so he is hardly likely to favour the writing of dossiers as a qualification for good football management. According to ‘Arry, all footballers are as thick as shit. Keep it simple is his …

Allardyce – A PR Puppet With No Mind Of His Own
Posted on 16 September 2012.
So, is Allardyce a PR puppet with no mind of his own? Does he pick the team to satisfy Sullivan and Gold’s obsession with media management? Does the “right image” take precedence over winning games and achieving Premiership survival? Is Allardyce being paid a bonus to …

Poor Zola Still Can’t Teach Watford How To Do It!

Another week, another defeat. Another week and still more goals conceded from set pieces. Zola knew it was coming this time – well it was Bolton! – and had been “working on” how to defend set pieces for a couple of days during the international break – but all…

Progress? What Progress At Leeds?
Posted on 15 September 2012.
The Leeds fans are falling over themselves to lick Warnock’s balls but one look at the table tonight should make them stop and think. True, Snakeinthegrass demanded a move, but the disillusioned former captain apart – and he’s no world beater – the squad has been remodelled according to the former QPR…

Too Cautious Allardyce Needs To Take Off Shackles
Posted on 15 September 2012.
Ok, a point at Norwich was not a disaster, but the Canaries haven’t won in the league yet this season and so were there for the taking – but to win, you have to have a positive frame of mind; and Allardyce played safety first unnecessarily…
