We keep hearing about a temporary blip as if it is only recently that we have lost form. Cobblers. How many goals have we scored in the last 17 games? Twenty. Digest that fact. Just twenty goals scored in the last 17 competitive matches – and some of those …

Cottee says Allardyce doesn’t know what he is doing.
Posted on 22 March 2012.
So now Cottee has broken ranks too. And not before time. Speaking about our scoring drought, the former goal machine points the finger squarely at Allardyce’s team selection and tactics. The former maestro said: “Ravel Morrison has not been played at all and I don’t know …

QPR 3 Liverpool 2 – The Dead Parrot Squawks!
Posted on 21 March 2012.
At half time I wrote: Time to wake up and smell the coffee! A point is no good to either side. Utterly sterile first half – a game to make Allardyce proud! Hughes and Dalglish need to throw caution to the wind. It’s three points or bust for both teams! Time…

Clease Instead of Deaner on QPR bench for game with Liverpool tonight.
Posted on 21 March 2012.
After his heroic intervention to save the life of Fabrice Muamba at White Hart Lane, running on to the pitch to lead the treatment of the Bolton star, Doctor Andrew Deaner was offered a place on the QPR bench tonight but politely declined, explaining, “If QPR lose tonight …

Cracks appearing between Gold and Allardyce – Wait until Sullivan joins in!
Posted on 21 March 2012.
So Gold has contradicted Allardyce’s claim that he will be sacked come the end of the season if we don’t get promoted. That may sound like a vote of confidence but it sounds more like a back hand swipe to me, with Gold saying he had no idea…

QPR’s Mark Hughes Curses His Luck
Posted on 20 March 2012.
Would you believe it? QPR replace Neil Warnock with master tactician Mark Hughes whilst Blackburn stick with yard dog Steve Kean and what happens? Blackburn -unbeaten now in three games – only go and pull 6 points clear of the Hoops by beating red and white hot Sunderland 2-0. The game against Liverpool…

West Ham 1 Middlesbrough 1 – Allardyce Gets His Just Deserts!
Posted on 20 March 2012.
You build a monster and sooner or later you will regret it. Just look at the score at Elland Road. We went there to defend and scrambled a late, late equaliser; Nottingham Forest have gone there tonight and smashed in seven! We go one …

Half time West Ham 0 Middlesbrough 0 – Now there’s a Surprise!
Posted on 20 March 2012.
So that had to be the safest bet of the season. Another 45 minutes without a goal and, to be honest, without much sign of a goal apart from what looked to be a pretty good penalty claim from where I’m sitting. Did Master…

Liverpool’s Dalglish Speaks Good Sense About Muamba ahead of QPR game
Posted on 20 March 2012.
It’s very pleasing to hear that Muamba seems to be on the road to recovery. I have avoided talking about the affair up to now, considering it in bad taste to do so until it was clear which way it would …

QPR’s Hughes Inadvertently Cracks Great Kieron Dyer Joke!

Where will Fernandes be in QPR’s make or break week?
Posted on 19 March 2012.
They don’t come bigger than this week. Tomorrow Rangers have a fantastic chance of picking up three points against a tired Liverpool team, who are asked to take to the field just three days after a typical rumbustious affair against Stoke. QPR have been …

Gold Thinks We Will Start Winning Soon
Posted on 19 March 2012.
Brilliant! I’m not sure what he is basing that on! Perhaps Middlesbrough losing 3-0 at Birmingham. Maybe our illustrious owner is figuring that Boro are so shit than even Allardyce’s team could beat them. Maybe. But if we are honest, this is more an act of faith …

A Travelling Season Ticket Holder’s Verdict: Not Good Enough!
Posted on 18 March 2012.
(Left as a comment) I was at the game and it was a pitiful sight in the first half, seeing Maynard being left out to dry up front on his own – how can such team selection pass even a simple test of intent? Little Maynard is six inches…

Where now for West Ham’s Ruud Boy?

With the signing of Stephen Henderson, the future doesn’t look bright for reserve keeper Ruud Boffin. When he made his erratic debut, West Ham fans fell over themselves to hail him a hero and a great prospect, but I argued otherwise. Back in 2010 I wrote: “Boffin made one good…
