Ok, it was only one game and ok he only employed the tactic because Carroll was injured and we don’t have another striker worthy of the name, but that’s not stopped the English Jose from claiming that his 4-6-0 formation has changed the game! The silly old sod genuinely seems to believe that …

Hodgson Snubs West Ham again as Liverpool man is called up
Posted on 12 October 2013.
Did Hodgson have a snooze through the Tottenham game one wonders? How else can you explain his decision to overlook Ravel in favour of Raheem Sterling? Both are highly talented bad boys, of course, but surely Morrison has done more to justify a call up than the Liverpool man? His goal against Spurs…

Ravel uses Tottenham warm up to prepare for altogether tougher challenge
Posted on 11 October 2013.
It’s good to see that Ravel used the Tottenham game to warm up for the much more challenging match against San Marino U21’s. Sadly, our new £19m Release Clause man couldn’t get on the score sheet – a feet achieved with sublime ease against Tottenham’s £100m team – but he did play a full part in helping England’s next Golden Generation …

Where now for Big Sam?
Posted on 09 October 2013.
So, after the stunning victory at Spurs, the big question is, ‘What does Allardyce do now?’ After decades of playing one way, he has suddenly discovered that you don’t need to hit long balls forward to an immobile forward and that players can actually interchange positions over the course of a game. Talk about a conversion on the road to Green Lanescus! The transformation on …

After the Tottenham Trouncing, Captain Kev Sounds Like Manager in Waiting
Posted on 07 October 2013.
Nolan has his critics but I have always been a big fan, so much so that I nominated him as the Player of the Season the year Parker was stupidly given the award. And listening to his post match interview after Tottenham’s tonking, you can see exactly why Sam Alliadichi loves him so much. The guy is captain, mentor, player and player manager rolled into one. Of course, our Kevin …

Tottenham reaction to West Ham humiliation
Posted on 07 October 2013.
They hath disgraced us and hindered us ninety eight million, laughed at our losses, mocked at our gains, scorned our new stadium, thwarted our bargains, cooled our friends, heated our enemies—and what’s their reason? We are Tottenham men. Hath not a Tottenham man eyes? Hath not a Tottenham man hands…

Tottenham 0 West Ham 3 – Were you watching Benjamin Netanyahu?
Posted on 06 October 2013.
Were you watching Moses? Were you watching Shylock? Were you watching David Ben Gurion? Were you watching Golda Meir? Our lads gave your boys one hell of a beating! Where to start? The first half performance was good, but the warning signs were there. Townsend had the beating of Boomtown and Tottenham were beginning to camp in our half. True we had fashioned the best two…

Half Time Tottenham 0 West Ham 0 – Best chance to Nolan!
Posted on 06 October 2013.
Well that was a lot better than I expected! To be fair to Maiga, Vaz Te has looked every bit as ineffective in the striker role, but the rest of the team have been huge. Tomkins and Reid have made countless crucial interceptions and well timed challenges and the midfield have been chasing and closing, but also breaking as well. …

Jarvis, Maiga and O’Brien dropped!
Posted on 06 October 2013.
Well it’s not before time! At last Allardyce has woken up to the fact that Maiga is shit and grasped that Vaz Te, the man he wanted to offload, is a far better option up front. As for Jarvis, he has been on borrowed time all season so, with Downing fit and Cole on his way back, it is…

Into the bottom three
Posted on 05 October 2013.
So, when was the last time we were in the bottom three of the Premiership? You have to go back to the time of Avram. Six or seven games into the season and the table is generally taking shape, and whilst we currently have a game in hand, it is hard to …

Letting Collison move to Bournemouth is madness!
Posted on 01 October 2013.
Ok, so we all know the problem. We have a team that can’t score goals. The strikers are useless, and the midfielders get a nose bleed if they get anywhere near the box – Nolan apart who is now so slow that even Faye could pick up his jogs. True Morrison may be another exception but, if we are honest, he was pretty ineffective for the …

Look at the important stats you idiot Allardyce!
Posted on 29 September 2013.
Listen to him! What an idiotic twat. It was the referee’s fault. Well it always is when we lose according to Allardyce, but this time he does have a point. It was the players’ fault. We created chances and when you create chances you should score goals. It’s like a …

Tigers 1 Hammers 0 – Referee Friend Receives Hull City’s Man of the Match Award!
Posted on 28 September 2013.
Well the penalty awarded to Hull in the first half was as soft as wet toilet paper but debateable if O’Brien did, indeed, stupidly shove Brady in the back, but the failure to award an equaliser penalty for the most obvious hand ball you will see this season was utterly inexplicable. Livermore clearly put his arm to ball and …

Half Time – Kevin a Friend of Hull City!
Posted on 28 September 2013.
Was it a penalty? It looked bloody soft to me, but Hull City’s best Friend, the referee, saw a push from O’Brien in the back of Brady and, following a fantastic swallow dive by the Hull player, the pen was awarded. If O’Brien did push him, he should be shot because Tomkins had the situation under control and was heading the ball clear. So, crass…

Allardyce opts for dog crap!
Posted on 28 September 2013.
So Maiga starts again, meaning that Vaz Te is sat on the bench once more alongside Petric. The selection is perverse but the pig headed one knows he knows best, so it looks like we are stuck with Maiga at least until Petric or Cole are fit to start. If I was Vaz Te, I would be well pissed. OK…

Vaz Te or Maiga?

Well, it shouldn’t take long to answer that one. Strawberries & cream or dog shit? London or Leeds? Italy or Albania? Ron Greenwood or Avram Grant? Paradise or Purgatory? So tell me, why the hell has Maiga started so many games whilst Vaz Te has been ignored? Bloody hell, Maiga …

Echoes of Avram Grant as West Ham Progress in League Cup
Posted on 25 September 2013.
I did not see the game but the Cardiff equaliser was depressingly predictable after we took an early two goal lead. Without Reid, the centre of the defence is short of pace, whilst Chambers and McCartney were never going to provide a sense of solidity on the flanks. A win is a win, but the fact …

Ex Sunderland Boss Di Canio next in line to manage West Ham?
Posted on 23 September 2013.
So, how many West Ham fans want him now? Not so long ago, the Claret and Blue Klan were hailing Il Duce as the best thing to happen to football management since Brian Clough. Any suggestions that he was too hot headed, and would be a disaster as a manager, were met with howls of…

Was Noble to blame for the Everton defeat?
Posted on 22 September 2013.
Noble’s critics were quick to blame their bête noir for the defeat against Everton, conveniently forgetting that Everton’s first equaliser resulted from a foul by Collins in exactly the same area of the pitch. There was no argument about the award when Collins rashly and needlessly tripped Barkley, but for some reason, Ginge has not…

West Ham 2 Everton 3 – Relegation struggle confirmed
Posted on 21 September 2013.
OK, the excuses will be made. Did Noble connect with the ball before he was sent off? Probably yes. Should he have been sent off therefore, even if a foul was awarded? Probably no. Did he even deserve the first yellow for the tug on Mirallis? Some referees would have considered the free kick punishment enough, especially given the fact that Reid cleared the ball anyway. However, moan as much as …

So, despite looking as toothless at Southampton as a ninety five year old who has just gone ten rounds with Floyd Mayweather, the only change to the team is enforced, with Rat coming in for Demel. Everton’s defenders must be quaking in their boots at the thought of trying to shut out Maiga and co for ninety minutes! And …

How brainless is Maiga?
Posted on 16 September 2013.
Right on cue, Captain Kev has made a statement in support of West Ham’s strikers and Maiga in particular. Nolan insists Maiga can and will score but Nolan is missing the point, just as Maiga misses the target. It’s not the guy’s ability that’s the problem, it’s his footballing intelligence. The guy is literally brainless. Just watch his movement, or rather lack of movement, when he doesn’t …

Furious Allardyce Blames Referee Marriner
Posted on 15 September 2013.
Funny, I thought Allardyce set up to draw the game, so it seems a bit rich for him to be pointing the finger at referee Andre Marriner for the failure to score and take home 3 points. Listen to Doctor Evil and you would think we were somehow robbed. And the reason? Because Schneiderlin …

Southampton’s Saints 0 Cynical Sinners 0 – a Snore Draw!

Allardyce will be pleased but if every game was played like this, football would be dead as a spectator sport inside twelve months. Doctor Evil has the perfect excuse, of course – no Carroll, no Downing and no Cole – but he put this squad together and with the route one totem removed, we have no idea how to score. True Diame forced a great save in the …

Half Time Southampton 0 West Ham 0 – Not bad for 10 men!

Ok, it again hasn’t been terribly pretty but it hasn’t all been long ball either. What would be the point when Maiga is the lone man up front and he has been as useless as ever. We really are playing with 10 men at the moment and I can’t believe that either Vaz Te or Nolan as the target man could be …
