There are players in our ranks that stir up controversy amongst the fans. Noble is certainly one, with some believing the guy walks (albeit slowly) on water, whilst others insist he is more of a Brian than a Jesus Christ. And Carlton Cole is another, with last…

Liverpool’s Record Breaking Season
Posted on 03 May 2012.

Cardiff 0 West Ham 2 – Savaged by a dead sheep!
Posted on 03 May 2012.
Years back Denis Healey compared an attack from Maggie Thatcher favourite Geoffrey Howe to being savaged by a dead sheep, and the first minute and a half apart, that pretty much sums up tonight’s game. We were ok but we didn’t need to be any better than ok, because…

West Ham v Cardiff – Swarbrick a threat!
Posted on 03 May 2012.
Oh dear. Referee Swarbrick has officiated one West Ham game all season and we lost it 3-0 to Reading, collecting two red cards in the process. And I bet the bastard in the black issued me my parking ticket into the bargain!

Hodgson Not Banking On England
Posted on 03 May 2012.
Well he has elbowed ‘Arry to one side to claim the job of England manager but it seems that replacing Mervyn King when he retires in June is beyond even Woy. Any outside hopes Hughton had of claiming the Governor of the Bank of England job were destwoyed when…

Strange Sense of Unreality As Cardiff Game Approaches

FA Cup Final? Who Cares Outside of Liverpool?
Posted on 01 May 2012.
It’s frightening but I’ve only just realised that it is the FA Cup Final on Saturday. What a joke! Why the Hell is the Premiership season extending beyond what used to be the showpiece of English football? Has the greatest domestic cup competition in…

West Brom Offer Welcome Distraction For Birmingham’s Hughton

Interesting to see that Chris Hughton is being linked with the West Brom job. He was interviewed when Di Matteo was sacked (and how bad does that decision look at the moment?) and despite his protests that he is focused on…

Who Needs Scott Parker When You Have Mark Noble?
Posted on 30 April 2012.
Congratulations to Noble and congratulations to the West Ham fans who got it right and voted for him as Hammer of the Year. It must have been a close run thing between Tomkins and Noble but for me, he has been the stand out player, …

QPR’s Misery Mounts As Man City Win
Posted on 30 April 2012.
Poor QPR, it’s all going wrong for them. After the victory today, Man City are guaranteed to be in with a shout of the title in the last game of the season – and goal difference could yet be the deciding factor. The chances of the Hoops salvaging a point from…

Tottenham Stuck With Redknapp

Hilarious, absolutely hilarious! When everybody thought England wanted Redknapp, the Cocky Fools were desperate to keep him. Now that England don’t want him, they are lining up to moan that ‘Arry has taken them as far as he can and a new man is needed. They …

Has finishing third put us at a disadvantage in the playoffs?
Posted on 29 April 2012.
First of all the facts. There’s lots of talk about how the third placed team misses out on promotion more often than not, but in recent years the playoffs have tended to go with form. Birmingham apart, and Birmingham are the worry, we are in good shape based on league…

Allardyce Furious At Disrespectful Snub

After leading West Ham to third place in the Championship behind Southampton and Reading, Allardyce is understandably miffed at being overlooked for the Barcelona role following the resignation of Pep Guardiola. Talking ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Hull, Doctor Evil raged: “This …

God help us. Writing in the Evening Standard, Allardyce turns his attention to the Chelsea performance against Barcelona and, commenting upon the tactics employed following the sending off, says “Normally you would plump for 4-4-1 but Chelsea went 4-5-0.” That’s all we need! Expect…

Allardyce Confused Ahead Of Hull Showdown

It seems Allardyce is either confused or is rewriting history in anticipation of things going belly up. According to Doctor Evil, the club “didn’t have a soul when I arrived”. You what? It was Allardyce who sold the club’s soul when he arrived; the trouble …

Financial Fair Play Model Spells Long Term End of Promotion and Relegation

At the beginning of this season the football league clubs slit their left wrists with the absurd limitation on the number of substitutes allowed on the bench. It was a crass decision that simply limited the chances of kids getting game time, forcing clubs like …

Is McLeish going to relegate two Birmingham teams in two seasons?

How crap is McLeish? He took down a half decent Birmingham team last season and he’s doing his level best to repeat the trick with Villa this year! The defeat at home to Bolton means that the trap door is yawning wide and there’s a real …
