So Neil Warnock is looking to his old club to bolster the promotion push. Paddy Kenny has been on the way to Leeds ever since the last ball of the season was kicked, but Warnock is struggling to find his way into Master Bates’ wallet. And now he has apparently turned…

Have Tottenham Appointed The New Oneday Ramos Or The New Glenn Roeder?
Posted on 03 July 2012.
So at the end of the day, Levy was put off by France’s miserable performance in the Euros and has opted for AVB rather than Blanc. But having ducked one disaster, Tottenham have probably recruited another instead. ‘Arry was ‘opping mad when Roeder replaced him at West…

Explaining why Grant Holt opted to sign a new three year contract at Norwich, a club spokesman said: “We had already offered him a very good deal but when Delia promised him three three course meals a day free of charge, there was no holding Grant back. He…

Sullivan & Gold Condemn West Ham To Everlasting Mediocrity
Posted on 03 July 2012.
So that’s it then, the two “West Ham fans” who own our club have shown their hand and committed West Ham to eternal mediocrity – for as long as they are in charge at least. Of course, Sullivan’s call for financial restraint and a sensible pay structure can’t …

West Ham 4 Tottenham 3
Posted on 02 July 2012.
Another happy memory from the archive as West Ham launch yet another great escape following the signing of Hartson and Kitson. Both score in this classic encounter, with Dicks smashing home a trademark penalty to win us three crucial, crucial points. Tell me, why wasn’t Dicks…

Take note Leeds, Watford, Forest, Wolves, Cardiff and Leicester, six into three doesn’t go!
Posted on 02 July 2012.
They are getting jolly excited down in the Championship aren’t they? With West Ham out of the way and take over money soon to be flying left, right and centre, there’s more cocky fools suddenly shouting the odds about their club’s promotion chances than you can find …

Pearce Squad for Olympics is a Joke – Pull Tomkins Out Allardyce!
Posted on 02 July 2012.
So Pearce couldn’t find a place for Beckham but there’s room for a whole bunch of no marks that I’ve never heard of and for Tomkins, who spent last season in the Championship. I know there are restrictions on over age players but that’s not the point. This squad doesn’t …

Leeds United’s Warnock Still In Hurry To Populate Squad
Posted on 01 July 2012.
Warnock has said: ““I want to make sure that as many signings as possible are here before we start on July 11. It’s the first day of pre-season when you want or need most of your players on board. That’s when everything starts”, and…

Duxbury and Nani Return! Poor, poor, poor Watford!
Posted on 01 July 2012.
In case any Watford fans are excited by the news of Duxbury and Nani being in charge of their club, let me remind you of an overcast night at Vicarage Road in September 2008 when West Ham came to town and exited the League Cup after a truly inept…

Leeds Fans Jumping The Take Over Gun
Posted on 30 June 2012.
The excitement is understandable. After so many years in the doldrums on the Bad Ship Bates, there’s bound to be unbridled joy at the prospect of a take over, especially when the magic words “Middle Eastern Investor” is thrown into the mix. Suddenly, inevitably, thoughts turn to Manchester City and …

West Ham Want Tevez
Posted on 30 June 2012.
Unfortunately, as with Clarence Seedorf, the club will not be following up on interest in Tevez due to the Argentinian’s excessive wage demands and concerns that the guy is, at the end of the day, a bit of a cnut. “No, we are…

One Freddie Down, Another One To Go

Maybe it’s all in a name. Freddie. It doesn’t have a ring to it, does it? ‘I’m Bond, Freddie Bond’ doesn’t really work does it? Freddie Casanova? Freddie Valentino? Freddie Di Caprio? Freddie Eastwood? Freddie Connery? Freddie Hudson? Freddie Bogart? Freddie Wayne? Freddie Tracy?…

Allardyce closing in on Mengele
Posted on 29 June 2012.
OK, it’s not actually Mengele, but Mangane but it sounds very much as if the two are cut from the same cloth; albeit that idea would, of course, have revolted the Nazi doctor. Mangane is almost as big a hate figure in France as the Nazis were during the occupation…

Leeds Will Do To Warnock What Spurs Did To Redknapp
Posted on 29 June 2012.
With Nottingham Forest suggesting today that they are no longer interested in luring Warnock away from Elland Road, there must be a very real danger that Neil could join ‘Arry on the dole queue. If the takover happens, Warnock won’t be in position for long. As soon as…

Southampton’s Barmy Bid For Birmingham’s Butland
Posted on 28 June 2012.
After shelling out a very toppy sounding £7m for Jay Rodrigues, Southampton have now bid a quite staggering £6m for Birmingham’s reserve keeper. Now I accept that Butland may have a bright future ahead of him, but can Southampton really afford to be buying…

Pearce Betrays Beckham and the Spirit of the Olympics

Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Al-Hasawi and Warnock

£6m for Shot Holt? Madness!
Posted on 27 June 2012.
Surely this must be nonsense! I know he scored 17 goals last season but I can remember Beattie looking the dog’ bollocks for a season! The guy is a lump. OK, so that probably explains Allardyce’s interest, but he is a tubby looking lump and at…

A Turkey To Turkey
Posted on 27 June 2012.
So Julien Faubert has found a new home then and, appropriately, our former turkey is off to Turkey. I am sure he will find his level there, just as he did at Real Madrid, flat on his back on the substitute’s bench. It’s bloody hot in Turkey …

Elmohamady & McCartney – Uninspiring In The Extreme!
Posted on 27 June 2012.
I’m not sure about you, but I’m increasingly worried by the “quality” of players we are being linked with. Gold has said we can expect as many as four signings this summer and it is still not clear if that four included Jussi and the, as yet not confirmed…
