Finders Keepers Losers Weepers For West Ham, QPR, Leeds, Bolton, Birmingham, West Brom and Blackburn

Well it’s all a story of keepers at the moment and, like London buses, you wait all summer then five come along all at once. Will Green join QPR or Southampton? Will Kenny move to Leeds? Can Leeds afford Kenny even on a free? What about Ben Foster? Birmingham can’t…

Good Result? Competent Performance? Depressing Over All!

How negative were England in the second half and how second rate were we made to look? True France created very few chances and had Milner shown more composure after rounding the keeper, we could have won the game, but we clearly played for the draw and …

Leeds Announce Two Major Signings

And there we all were thinking Leeds were struggling without two black puddings to their name. What nonsense! With Captain Snakeinthegrass muttering discontent, White of the Whites planning to defect, and transfer targets being missed left, right and centre because Master Bates has refused to stump …

West Ham To Unveil First Signing Of Summer In Next 48 Hours

The first one is on his way. It’s probably Jussi, confirming that Green is indeed exiting, but if we are picking up a good keeper – better than Green in my opinion – for nothing, then that is nothing to gripe about. And Allardyce will be happy. That’s…

Premiership Having Terrible Tournament So Far!

Agger apart, the Premiership has been embarrassed by the performances of its “stars” in the competition so far. Today Balotelli and Torres were laughable in front of goal. God knows what Balotelli thought he was doing when, clear in the box, …

Green Keen To Link Up With Clarke At West Brom

Rob Green is considering turning down the host of top clubs queueing to sign him and opt for a move to West Brom instead. England’s 666 isn’t interested in Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea or Man Utd apparently – and given he is such a fantastic keeper the big…

Tottenham About To Rip The Stuffing Out Of Bagpuss!

Interesting that The Mirror are suggesting that Spurs and Redknapp could part company before the end of the month. ‘Arry cut a sad figure on the BBC yesterday, admitting he would have taken the England job had it been offered, whilst doing …

Thank God The Germans Beat Cowardly Portugal!

What is it with the Portuguese? Why are they so damn cowardly? With Ronaldo, Muereles and Nani in the team, they should be playing opponents off the park, forcing them on to the back foot and attacking them relentless. Instead, they set up negatively and contain, hoping to score on …

West Ham Reject Stars In European Championship

How crazy is football? Lars Jacobsen looked ordinary at West Ham and nobody shed any tears when he departed – even though it meant Faubert provided cover at right back – but this afternoon, he stood medium tall for Denmark in an epic defensive performance against the …

West Ham 2 Southampton 1

From 1996. Selected from the archive not least because Motson says on the commentary, “The personal changes but the style of play doesn’t!” and adds, “You never get a bad game at West Ham”.  Are you listening Allardyce? Motson also …

Official – Leeds Unted Can’t Organise a Pi$$ Up in a Brewery

Never mind that Master Bates has been successfully sued for harassment by a former director, Melvyn Levi. Never mind that there is increasing speculation that recently appointed manager Neil Warnock will walk away from the job before the new season kicks off. Never mind…

Official Site Hints At Barrera Return

Is it just a case of trying to make a noise, any noise, in the close season silence? For most of us, the Taco Bell doppelganger is a not very fond memory, the latest in a long line of over rated, over paid and…

Leeds United Supporters Trust Invite The Ire of Bates

Brave or stupid? Accurate or speculative? Well intentioned or an attempt to cover their arses after extravagant claims that they knew of investors keen to purchase the club? Who knows, but the latest statement from LUST has just blown the lid off the Leeds United…

Oops the Euros Are Starting!

Birmingham Teetering On The Brink Of The Abyss

Where now for Birmingham City? Who could have predicted when they lifted the League Cup that they would be where they are now? Football is a cruel game, and whilst Hughes is being feted as a hero for saving QPR, it…

Carlton Cole for Showdown Talks

Put yourself in poor Carlton’s shoes. When we went down, he stayed loyal, taking a 50% salary cut to play in the Championship and turning down the opportunity to play in Europe with Stoke City. Had h opted to stay in the …

When The Levi Breaks At Leeds!

What the hell is going on at Leeds? Last week the boards were abuzz with rumours of a takeover or a significant cash injection at the very least. Then Warnock buggered off on holiday and Lorimer told Leeds fans to be patient and to trust Master Bates to do …

West Brom Have A Relegation Wish!

Why? Why would any club appoint Steve Clarke as manager? Mr Cones & Bibs played a leading role alongside Zola in transforming West Ham from a top 10 team into relegation fodder, and then linked up with Dalglish to turn Liverpool into the most expensive mid table team in …

Yossi Coming Home!

Don’t get too excited by the headline for a number of reasons: 1) It’s a story from the Mail. 2) I’m not convinced Yossi is an Allardyce type of player. Slight, skilful, reluctant to put in a defensive shift, none of which …

£80m to Relinquish Claret & Blue? How would you feel if we did a Cardiff?

So, how important is heritage? It’s a bit rich – and I use the term advisedly given the sums of money involved – that plans to ditch Cardiff’s traditional blue kit have been announced to coincide with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Tradition counts for a…

Birmingham’s Hughton Would Be Mad To Join Norwich

Why would Hughton even entertain the move to Norwich? He did a fantastic job with Birmingham City last season and, ignoring current league positions, they are a far bigger club than the country bumpkin Canaries. All credit to Norwich, they exceeded …

QPR Captain Barton Sucker Punched Outside Gay Club

According to Joey himself on Twatter, he was “sucker punched” outside a Liverpool gay bar. Now I watch “Chatty Man” so I’ve heard all about fisting but this is a new one on me and seems a very inappropriate reaction to somebody being so obliging!

QPR’s Barton On Brokeback Mountain?

So, Joey took a slap outside a gay club. Interesting. Is this why the QPR man is so angry? Is he a repressed homosexual, at war with the world because of his inability to come to terms with his sexuality? Everything is fitting…

Tottenham Can’t Afford Tomkins – Unless They Sell Modric or Bale

Silly season again, with journalists and bloggers writing total shite linking clubs with the most unlikely of targets. Of course, if you want to get a rise out of West Ham fans, simply run a story that Spurs want an Academy talent…
