Bloody nerve! Libyan forward Toat El-Sheit, a long term target of Sam Allardyce, has rejected a move to West Ham, favouring a switch to Championship chumps Leeds United instead. The forward triggered interest from Allardyce after making a big splash in the…

Barrera Still A West Ham Man
Posted on 04 June 2012.
Interesting to see the Official Site reporting on Barrera’s performance for Mexico against Brazil. Whilst KUMB is running the annual nonsense linking us with Ronaldinho – expect Beckham next week – it is almost a shock to be reminded that the Taco Bell doppelganger is still officially on our books. Will …

Ronaldinho Keen To Link Up With Allardyce
Posted on 04 June 2012.
Speaking from his Brazilian mansion perched high above Copacabana, Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho has set out the reasons why he is keen to link up with West Ham manager Sam Allardyce. He explained: “My career is at a crossroads and I need a manager I can trust to guide …

QPR’s Joey Barton Punched In Face In Liverpool
Posted on 04 June 2012.
What a disgrace. What sort of world are we living in when a professional footballer can’t go for a night out in Liverpool without being punched in the face? I trust the two yobs involved will have the book thrown at them. With an international cap to his name, Barton…

Holt, Who Goes There! Hopefully Yakubu!
Posted on 04 June 2012.
Leave it out. Why the hell would we want to buy Norwich’s Grant Holt? The guy has had one good season at the highest level and, aged 31, is more likely to go backwards than forwards over the next couple of seasons. He wants to…

West Ham 2 Chelsea 1
Posted on 04 June 2012.
Another from the archive, this one from October 24, 2001. As we head back into the Prem, it is cheering to remember that we finished seventh that season – a feat we were to repeat under Pardew in our first season back up last …

Hodgson’s England’s Reign Cursed
Posted on 03 June 2012.
Some great managers are great tacticians. Some are great coaches. Some are great motivators. Some of them build a reputation on great timing, getting out before results turn for the worse. But what all managers need is good luck, and poor old Woy is suffering misfortune …

Gold Brackets Green With Upson
Posted on 03 June 2012.
Green’s off then, it’s official. He has rejected the latest contract offer and the club, sensibly, has said enough is enough. He’s good at what he’s good at, and bad at what he’s bad at, and the complete package means that he is no better than average. And…

Sunderland’s Elmohamady Doesn’t Fit 4-3-3 Sam!
Posted on 03 June 2012.
He way be cheap but Elmohamady does not fit Allardyce’s preferred 4-3-3 formation. He may be “tireless”, a worker and a reasonable crosser of the ball, but the killer stat is that in 54 appearances for the Black Cats, the red Egyptian has scored a grand total of…one goal! And it …

QPR to pay £5m for Birmingham’s Foster rather than take Green on a free
Posted on 02 June 2012.
Interesting. According to the Mail, Mark Hughes has decided to shell out £5m of Tony’s money on Ben Foster rather than take Rob Green on a free. With Sullivan’s son implying that Green is definitely on his way out, it makes you wonder where …

Leeds Go Sniffing In The Bush
Posted on 02 June 2012.
Don’t be surprised if Warnock decides to bolster his ill equipped squad with a few players from former club QPR. They may be shit in the case of Gabbidon or Shittu in the case of the other Danny, but they are warm, live bodies and, unless this …

West Ham’s Freebie Eleven: Surviving in the Prem on a shoestring
Posted on 02 June 2012.
Whilst we continue to be linked with every goalkeeper and forward ever to appear on a football pitch, there’s a pool of talent available on free transfers if Sullivan and Gold decide they fancy surviving on the cheap. As if! How about this for eleven released …

Southampton 3 West Ham 3
Posted on 02 June 2012.
Another one from the archive, and a game I thought I remembered very well even though it was played in December 1971. I was at the Dell, in the family enclosure behind the goal where we scored three and where Southampton bagged their equaliser. Bonds, …

West Ham 2 Leeds 3

Should we invite Orient to come to the OS party?
Posted on 01 June 2012.
I know Hearn is an irritating bastard but there was one aspect of his “offer” to share the OS that should have appeal to West Ham and all us fans, and that is the proposal that retractable seating be provided at no cost. So what that Orient …

Lorimer Tells Leeds Fans To Trust Master Bates & Suffer In Silence
Posted on 01 June 2012.
I was taken to task earlier in the week for terming Peter Lorimer a Leeds hero, with irritated fans of the club pointing out that he was a nodding dog puppet for Ken Bates. Whilst I still say that his performances on the pitch merit the status of Leeds legend, …

Faubert To Lazio

I know their captain has been arrested for match fixing, but things surely can’t be THAT desperate at Lazio that they need Faux Pas! The Lazio Ultras, so beloved of the fascist saluting Di Canio, will take to the fat arsed Frenchman like a Rottweiller …

Warnock Set To Walk Out On Leeds

Allardyce Smiling As Norwich’s Lambert Looks To Follow Example Set By Rodgers

Liverpool Boost West Ham’s Survival Chances By Appointing Swansea’s Rodgers

Well that’s it then. Get your money on Swansea to go down next season. They were the surprise package of 2011-12 but it is a sobering thought that, even after a fantastic season, they only won twelve games in the Prem. That is enough …

£80m for Leeds – Cheap at that price!
Posted on 30 May 2012.
When you consider that Sullivan and Gold paid £50m for a share of West Ham, taking on huge debts in the process, Leeds United must surely be a snip at £80m. Look at what you would get for your money! A tenancy on a stadium…

Huge Clear Out At Sheffield United
