Funny the way that figure of £20m keeps coming up. That was the sum Fernandes promised to invest in the transfer market to keep QPR up, and whilst they fell some way short of that, they survived. So is £20m …

QPR’s Kieron Dyer Signs New Contract In A&E Department
Posted on 21 May 2012.
You really couldn’t write it. Another summer, another contract for Kieron Dyer. The former West Ham star turn of the treatment room has been in intensive training for the last month, ready for signing the contract, practising holding the sterilised pen whilst …

Was Cole really only on £14k per week this season?
Posted on 21 May 2012.
That’s what The Sun is claiming, albeit I don’t think Cole mentions that figure at all – although he does say he took a 50% pay cut to stay at the club following relegation. The intriguing thing is that this suggests Cole was …

Posted on 20 May 2012.
After being excluded from next season’s Champions League because of Chelsea’s victory over Bayern, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly exploring legal avenues to try to win back the right to compete in next season’s competition. A source close to the club confirmed, “We fee very …

Bring Joe Cole Home!
Posted on 20 May 2012.
It wasn’t my idea, but it is a damn good one. Yes he has turned us down before but after a year in France and out of the England squad, he won’t have a queue of would be suitors. With Vaz…

Allardyce Draws Up His Long List Of Transfer Targets
Posted on 20 May 2012.
So now the hard work starts. In truth, as the final league positions of the three relegated teams shows – third, fourth and fifth – the Championship is a sub standard division that is nowhere near as hard to get out of as some would have us believe. Norwich and Southampton…

Southampton And Reading Miss All The Fun
Posted on 19 May 2012.
Poor old Southampton and Reading, the season kind of fell flat at the death didn’t it? Sure they won promotion – and deservedly so – but where was the day out at Wembley? It’s so much more fun doing it via the playoffs! What was that line in …

Ask Spurs – The Game Has Officially Gone Crazy!
Posted on 19 May 2012.
WTF? Bayern Munich win a penalty in the Champions League final and they let a Dutchman take it! Didn’t somebody tell them that Germans don’t miss penalties? Well somebody obviously forgot to tell Bastian Schweinsteiger. After allowing a Croat to take a penalty and…

Blackpool Kings Arms 1 West Ham 2 – Played Crap But Never In Doubt!
Posted on 19 May 2012.
So there you have it. We didn’t turn up on the day, Tomkins and Cole apart, but we still waltzed into the Premiership. Blackpool ran their hearts out bless them, and carved out a host of good chances, but a pub…

Sunderland’s Craig Gordon Taylor Made To Replace Green
Posted on 19 May 2012.
It would be typical wouldn’t it, if we signed Craig Gordon as an apparently great value replacement for the soon to depart Rob Green? On the face of it, a man with 40 international caps who once commanded a transfer fee of £9million, looks like a snip given he is…

Warnock Installs Revolving Door In Leeds Dressing Room
Posted on 17 May 2012.
So it is all change at Leeds this summer then. With at least eleven players being pushed out of the door, Warnock will have to keep his fingers crossed that his targets are both available and willing to join his Leeds United bandwagon. Mind you, the initial…

Liverpool Linked With Villas Boas, Benitez and Avram Grant
Posted on 17 May 2012.
So let’s try to follow the logic here shall we? Liverpool sack Dalglish – no attempt to move him upstairs you will note which is a shoddy way to treat a man who has served the club in every decade since the 1970s – and…

David Gold and David Sullivan Both Kick The Bucket!

Desperate Dann A West Ham Man?
Posted on 17 May 2012.
So, we are being linked with Scott Dann, now of Blackburn Rovers and formerly of Birmingham City. Anybody spot the problem if we do secure promotion on Saturday? Tell me, why would you want a centre back that has suffered relegation from the Prem in two consecutive seasons exactly? He’s cheap!…

Balance of Hodgson’s Squad All Wrong
Posted on 16 May 2012.
A disappointing first act as England manager in my book. It’s true that Woy’s options are limited, what with the Terry / Ferdinand dispute, the injuries to Bent and Rodwell and the suspension of Rooney for the first two games, but there’s no getting away from the fact that Hodgson…

Tottenham’s Scott Parker, One Captain Wonder!
Posted on 16 May 2012.
Well that must be some sort of record surely? How many captains of England have lasted for just one game? The appointment of Parker was always flawed. He wasn’t captain of West Ham and he isn’t captain of Tottenham either – for a reason. He…

Allardyce Overreacts – And the question is, why?

What a storm in a bloody tea cup. Steve Kean, obviously on the back of a few, mouths off in a bar and, as a throw away response to a question from a fan as to why Allardyce was sacked says, “Because he’s a fcuking crook”…

Avram Grant is Just Champion

Interesting to see that Avram Grant has won the title with Partizan Belgrade. Not bad for a useless tosser who only gets jobs because of the Jewish cabal that controls the world according to a certain Muslim poster on here. And Gianfranco Zola? He hasn’t won…

It takes a lot for Birmingham and Villa fans to agree about anything football related – but tonight they will be chinking glasses at the news that the ginger tosser has been thrown out of work. The appointment was always perverse and the decision of McLeish to travel across the …

QPR’s Barton Has Flipped. Section Him Quick!
Posted on 14 May 2012.
Barton’s flipped this time. There was madness in his eyes on the pitch on Sunday but his Twatter attacks on Shearer and Lineker reveal a man totally out of control. We know he is dangerous based on his “previous” and his present ravings suggest that he could…
