I know we are probably clutching at straws because, despite their defeat against Reading, Southampton still looked pretty good to me, but where there’s hope and all that… Apart from Peterborough getting thumped, the results were pretty close to perfect…

QPR Slipping Back Into The Sewage
Posted on 14 April 2012.
Just when it looked as if they were pulling themselves out of the shit, QPR decided to let go of the side and slip back into the sewage. Points on the board are crucial at this stage, and a relatively healthy goal difference …

West Ham 6 Brighton 0 – The Bloody Seagull Round Our Neck Is Dead!
Posted on 14 April 2012.
At long, long last the albatross has dropped from our neck! I admit to being dubious about the team before the start but for once I was wrong. Vaz Te played up top and looked a class apart. The first goal had a slice of luck but RVT…

Half Time West Ham 3 Brighton 0 – But Still Worrying Signs!
Posted on 14 April 2012.
First off, the good. Vaz Te. Credit where credit is due, the guy has been a revelation in recent weeks. He has the pace we have been crying out for, he has the skill, and boy does he know where the goal is…

West Ham v Brighton: Allardyce Reverts To Plan A
Posted on 14 April 2012.
So the experiment with all out attack has been consigned to the bin and Allardyce is going back to Plan A – 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 or 4-2-2-1-1 or what other sort of tangled mess the misfitting parts form themselves into. Unless Vaz Te is up top …

Beat Brighton and we could still top Southampton after Reading reverse.
Posted on 13 April 2012.
It’s a long shot I know because of our terrible home form, but we could yet qualify for automatic promotion after Reading’s victory over Southampton. We have to win the last four games but if we do, it isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that…

Remember, Moore than just a football club Sam!
Posted on 13 April 2012.
It is a wee bit galling to see the club exploiting the Bobby Moore name to market tickets for the game against Brighton. It is true that, as the play offs approach, there is a parallel with that moment, for the home semifinal leg against Ipswich, when Pardew …

West Ham Marketing The Southampton v Reading Game!

Hello? When was this marketing guff produced then? Top of the table clash? If that’s the case, then I’m going to bed with Kiera Knightley tonight, though she looks pretty much like my wife as she lies, mouth open, fast asleep and snoring on the sofa …

QPR & Wigan in Touching Distance of Survival
Posted on 12 April 2012.
Momentum. It is everything in football. Just ask Allardyce! Not so very long ago, QPR and Wigan had no idea where the next win was coming from. Then Liverpool came along and game both teams a shot of confidence. Thirteen crazy minutes against Dalglish’s Dolts…

Goodnight Vienna As Reading Win At Brighton
Posted on 10 April 2012.
Credit where credit is due. Southampton have sustained their form all season long and Reading have put together the most amazing charge over the final two thirds of the season. Allradyce is blaming our “home hoodoo” in the most pathetic of styles, trying to hoodwink…

Blame Allardyce: No Balance Again!
Posted on 10 April 2012.
Listen to the great big berk: “The players, when we set out to win a game of football, they need to be aware of what the opposition do and what they don’t do and what we did was play straight into Birmingham’s hands in the first half.”…

Sublime Finishes From Maynard and Noble!

Just how good were the Maynard and Noble finishes! I’ve only just caught them on YouTube, and bloody hell, Messi would have been proud of both goals. Maynard’s finish from distance was inch perfect. A superb goal! But Noble’s finish screamed quality. …

Liverpool’s King Kenny to be Replaced By President Rafa
Posted on 08 April 2012.
So now it is the referee’s fault. Tiredness, bad luck, poor officials, Dalglish has trotted out all the old excuses. Perhaps it is time to admit that either his players are crap, or he is failing as a manager. Dear God, Villa rocked up at Anfield today…

Portsmouth’s draw at Southampton bad news for Reading too!

Every West Ham fan had his fingers, toes and cock crossed today, hoping that Pompey could get a result at Southampton; but any Reading fans wishing ill on the Saints probably miscalculated very badly indeed. The key for both Reading and Southampton was to disillusion West Ham. I kept…

QPR Must Sit & Wait & Pray Whilst Villa Sink Faster Than Birmingham Last Season!

Allardyce on Good Friday Rant.

After Reading, it’s the Long Good Friday and Sam’s responding to the pressure: “West Ham fans? Well, let’s put it this way. Apart from their assholes being about fifty yards away from their brains, and the choirboys playing “‘hunt the thimble” with the rest of them, they…

West Ham Misinformation Bureau Working Hard To Combat Allardyce Rant

Southampton Want Stoke’s Upson – A Season Too Late!
