I’ve criticised the guy enough, so it is only fair I pay credit when it is due. Allardyce set up 4-5-1 but with a wonderfully fluid personnel which, at times, made us look like a Championship version of Barcelona. Kidding. But you know what I mean. Total football it …

Big Fat Sham Singing In The Last Chance Saloon
Posted on 23 April 2012.
So this is it. Anything less than a victory tonight and we are in the playoffs. Anything less than a two goal winning margin and we have to pray for a Coventry win at Southampton or should that end in a draw, an even more improbable winning …

Tomkins and Noble in PFA Championship Player of the Year Team
Posted on 22 April 2012.
No Nolan. No Vaz Te. No Faye. No John Carew. No Allardyce signings in fact. Nope, just two home grown Hammers. Maybe there is a lesson here somewhere. Where’s the next generation of Academy boys Big Sham? And the Noble critics…

Liverpool Lose Again As Woy Wobs Kenny
Posted on 22 April 2012.
Hilarious! Woy Hodgson’s West Bwom win at Anfield for the first time in 45 years and Liverpool’s faces are redder than their shirts yet again! This is Anfield? This is Points for the Taking more like! How humiliating. The Liverpool fans didn’t want to know Hodgson …

West Ham bound Di Canio says "I did a fantastic job with an average team at Swindon"!

As USA Dave says, the BBC interview with Di Canio makes interesting listening. Follow the link below to catch it in full. To summarise, Di Canio claims he has done a “fantastic job to maintain the concentration” of a team which, when it switches …

Tottenham Praying For FA Compensation For Redknapp
Posted on 21 April 2012.
You have to laugh. Not so many weeks ago, ‘Arry was the dog’s bollocks and Tottenham fans were weeping over their menorahs at the prospect of losing him to England. Now they would club together and pay for the taxi fare to…

Middlesbrough 2 Southampton 1 – The Agony Continues!
Posted on 21 April 2012.
Wouldn’t you just believe it? Just when we thought it was safe to slip back into the playoffs, Southampton go and lose and give us hope, for a couple of days at least. Now we see the full folly of Allardyce’s team selection …

Top Star’s Shock Exit From West Ham
Posted on 21 April 2012.
When he made his debut he was hailed a genius. I begged to differ and was roundly lambasted. His performance was spectacular apparently, he was unquestionably the Man of the Match seemingly, and an old adversary from the Org, Wrongy Shanghai, got up on his…

Blackpool Begin Premiership Charge and West Ham May Get Birmingham!
Posted on 21 April 2012.
Ouch. The Tangerine Dreamers hit form today, with a vengeance. The four goal thumping of Burnley put down a real marker, at a very opportune time. Of course, the victory may be good news for us in the short run in so far as it makes a Birmingham v …

The Kids Aren’t Alright
Posted on 21 April 2012.
One glance at the Premier Academy League table tells you everything you need to know. West Ham sit exactly half way down the 10 team table on 46 points from 27 games behind the might of Charlton, Southampton, Arsenal (to be fair) and Fulham. The OS, of course is trying…

QPR Don’t Dare Lose To Spurs
Posted on 21 April 2012.
It’s the nightmare scenario. Bolton host Swansea and travel to struggling Aston Villa in midweek. If the Hoops lose to Spurs, they could find themselves back in the bottom three with the probability of securing just three more points (maximum) before the season’s close. Should Bolton win twice in a week, that…

So Sheffield United, Evans or Tevez, who is the greater villain?
Posted on 20 April 2012.
After all the fuss they made over our selection of Carlos Tevez, how ironic is it that Shafting United (and never has that name seemed more appropriate) are riding the crest of a promotion wave courtesy of 35 goals from a convicted…

Time to moan about the injustice of the playoffs!
Posted on 20 April 2012.
They’re off, and it didn’t take long. In fact, we are not even absolutely certain to be condemned to the end of season shoot out yet, but already ‘heads up their own arses West Ham fans’ are whining, “We’ve finished third so it’s just not fair!” One…

Birmingham the favourites in the play offs?
Posted on 19 April 2012.
It’s an uncomfortable feeling, but if we are honest, Birmingham have to be the favourites to win through in the playoffs. Their form since the beginning of December has been better than ours and they seem to have the Indian Sign on us. We have failed to beat them…

Can ANYBODY explain last night’s team selection and tactics?
Posted on 18 April 2012.
So the equation was simple. We had to win to stand a chance of catching Southampton and Reading. And we had to win by a two or three or ideally four goal margin. Draw or lose? No difference. It was…

Allardyce Hails Heroic Draw at Bristol City and a Great Season
Posted on 17 April 2012.
Talking after an epic 1-1 draw at Bristol City which has as good as secured third place for West Ham, Doctor Evil was full of praise for his team: “We only conceded one goal away from home and you have to be satisfied with that. It’s a shame Rob…

Bristol City 1 West Ham 1 – So Far So Bad
Posted on 17 April 2012.
Southampton are cruising and we are stuttering. Green at fault for the Bristol City goal apparently, taken by surprise by a long shot. No surprise to American readers of course! Why have we set up 4-5-1? We need to win. We need to bolster …

No Cole, Baldock or O’Neil. Odd!
Posted on 17 April 2012.
Strange team on the back of a 6-0 victory! I’m pleased to see Maynard start because of the rule of the ex, but the inclusion of Collins is a bit of a shock. Is he at left back? Or is Tomkins moving back into…

Come on Posh! (And David is no where to be seen!)
Posted on 17 April 2012.
So, never mind our game against Bristol City, the real make or break game is up the road at London Road, Peterborough. Southampton HAVE to drop points for us to catch them, and unless they do, our games are about as important as pre-…

Tottenham’s Parker Back In West Ham Groove

Jaaskelainen the next piece in Allardyce’s West Ham Wanderers Masterplan

Now I have been a big fan of Jussi Jaaskelainen for many years and, not withstanding that the guy is 37, I would still regard him as a good signing on a free transfer. But the very fact that we are interested in him tells you one of three things: either…
