It shows what a fantastic job Pardew has done that the tradition of naming the manager of the Champions as Manager of the Year has been abandoned to give Pants Down the award. Does he deserve it? Well there were a few contenders. The guys in charge…

Leeds and Warnock – Heading for a Nasty Divorce?
Posted on 12 May 2012.
What has happened at Leeds? At the beginning of the season, most people expected them to be a real force, not marking them down for automatic promotion but as strong favourites for the Play Offs. Under Grayson, their form was …

A Miserable Miserable Week for Birmingham City
Posted on 11 May 2012.
After 62 games, it all came to a miserable, miserable end for Birmingham City this week. There’s no taking away from the achievements of Chris Hughton and his charges – they acquitted themselves creditably in Europe and battled excellently in the league despite the financial cyclone…

Time for Liverpool to Award Dalglish a 5 Year Contract Extension
Posted on 11 May 2012.
After the stunning last 20 minutes of the Cup Final when Liverpool were cheated by a pedantic rule that ALL of the ball must be over ALL of the line, and the epic thumping of Chelsea in the revenge match at Anfield, it is surely time for American …

Let’s Nail This Playoff Specialists Nonsense
Posted on 11 May 2012.
The usual crap is coming out about how Blackpool are playoff specialists and how all the pressure is on West Ham to win. For the Tangerine Dreamers anything more is a bonus it seems, whilst for West Ham it is make or break. There is …

One Last Cruel Twist In QPR’s Season?
Posted on 10 May 2012.
For eighty odd minutes at the weekend, it was all going horribly wrong. Bolton were two goals to the good and QPR were only drawing. The nightmare scenario of having to win at Man City to stay up loomed large, with no guarantee of survival even if they achieved the…

Hull City – A Shameful Way To Treat A Hero
Posted on 10 May 2012.
He seems to have been around for ever and has been associated with Hull City, his hometown club, as player and manager since 2004. But Barnby’s loyalty, dedication and professionalism counted for nothing when the Board got hot under the collar at suggestions …

Blackpool Dump Birmingham On Their Backsides – And Holloway’s Mind Games Start!
Posted on 09 May 2012.
So, the under bill threw up a thriller by all accounts. The Blackpool Kings Arms were cruising to Wembley before a great Birmingham fight back. 2-2 and Blackpool looking for another fairy tale victory in the playoffs. Ollie has fired the first …

Was Noble REALLY the Man of the Match in the Cardiff game?
Posted on 09 May 2012.
One of Noble’s biggest critics on here has posted that the selection of Noble as MOTM for the home leg of the Cardiff game proves that there is favouritism shown towards him because he is a PR puppet. It was a typically over the top …

QPR Captain Barton Bound For The Boleyn
Posted on 09 May 2012.
We have been linked with the guy on and off since the days of Curbishley. At one inglorious moment there were even rumours that we planned to unite Neill, Bowyer, Dyer, Bellamy and Barton at the club. The first rule of Fight Club? Nobody talks about Fight Club! Well…

After the Lord Mayor’s Show, it’s Birmingham v Blackpool!
Posted on 08 May 2012.
Talk about an underbill! After the the hammering of Cardiff yesterday, and with news that Haye and Chisora are about to go toe to toe, machete versus machete at Upton Park – who says Sullivan & Gold have no morals? – it’s time for Birmingham and Blackpool to battle…

Blackburn down, Bolton to follow – Time for Allardyce to cherry pick!
Posted on 08 May 2012.
I bet Allardyce is chuckling to himself today following confirmation of Blackburn’s relegation, with the probability that Bolton will join them. But more important even than Sam’s ego is the opportunity for him to cherry pick the squads, linking up …

Careful, 5-0 is a dangerous score Cadiff!

Well that was easy wasn’t it. Easier than Mn Utd found Swansea! And that must hurt if you are a Cardiff fan! Everything went right for West Ham today, except Cole didn’t score. Nolan was on the scoresheet with a typical tap in / nod in goal, Vaz Te scored …

Tottenham Chasing Green To Understudy Friedal & Gomes

He’s free so there’s no surprise that ‘Arry wants him, but if Green opts to switch to Spurs it will show the guy is totally lacking in ambition. Why would anybody CHOOSE to be a reserve keeper and sit on…

2-0 up at half time – we’ve blown it before Cardiff!
Posted on 07 May 2012.
It aint over until Fat Sam sings. This afternoon should be a walk in the Upton Park but this is West Ham so anything could yet happen. Cardiff have been trying to convince us that a 2-0 lead going in to the second leg is a dangerous lead but…

Tottenham Revival Coincides With Parker’s Absence
Posted on 06 May 2012.
It may be pure coincidence of course, but it may not. Tottenham’s revival has coincided with Parker’s absence and with the younger and immeasurably more talented Sandro being given his head. ‘Revival, what revival?’ some may ask after today’s draw at Villa, but Tottenham were down to ten men and…

Liverpool Lose Again – Dalglish and Gerrard Heading For Anfield Exit
Posted on 06 May 2012.
So, in the final analysis, £135m has bought Liverpool a League Cup and a mid table position in the Premiership. That isn’t just a poor return, it is a disaster. Loyal acolytes of King Kenny will claim that the Reds…

Touching A Nerve With Brooking

Methinks he protests too much. Sir Trev has climbed off the fence in response to suggestions that he blocked Redknapp’s anointment as England boss based on events at Upton Park 20 years ago. That’s all nonsense according to the footballing knight and…

Is Green now the weakest link?
Posted on 05 May 2012.
Regulars to this blog will know that I am not Rob Green’s biggest fan. Even when West Ham fans were hailing him England’s Number One, I was saying that he was a very good shot stopper but an average all round keeper because of his weakness under crosses, his poor…

Blackpool 1 Birmingham 0 – Mediocrity Narrowly Defeats Mediocrity
Posted on 04 May 2012.
So nothing to be too alarmed about there then. The return game should be a pretty intense affair with the potential for a red card or two with any luck. The perfect scenario would be for the second leg to go to penalties with the eventual winners, hopefully Blackpool…

Former Hammer James Collins in Club Brawl
Posted on 04 May 2012.
Not terribly news worthy I know – Premiership footballer gets punchy outside club – but it may be good news for us. Collins has apparently been a brewer of trouble ever since he moved to Villa. There were reports that he and Dunne were stirring things in the dressing room when…

After Cardiff, the focus turns to Blackpool v Birmingham

I’m not presuming anything quite yet, but carrying a two goal lead into the home leg, it would be excessively cautious not to allow the thoughts to turn to potential opponents at Wembley. If we lose the play off semi final from…
