So the SFA have suddenly decided that Craig Whyte is not a “fit and proper person to own a football club”. Talk about shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted! Maybe, just maybe, somebody should have come up with this idea before the entire Glasgow sewage…

(Article submitted by Basildon Iron) I just don’t know what it is about Upton Park but for a good few years we haven’t seemed comfortable playing there. If we’re not in the lead within the first 15 mins then, yes, the crowd can…

Sadly I called it before kick off. There’s a real problem with creativity when we set up with Nolan in the side at home because we either set up 4-3-3 which becomes 4-5-1 or we go 4-4-2 and Noble can’t control the game as …

Same, old, same old. Allardyce has started 4-4-2 and, in consequence, both Noble and Nolan are struggling. The pair need to be in a midfield five to play together it seems. Nolan wants to link with the forwards so Noble has to do too much of …

My God, these biggest games of the season are coming thick and fast at the moment. On Sunday it was vital to stay in touch with Southampton and reopen a buffer zone between ourselves and Reading. Now, we have the opportunity to leapfrog the Saints and reestablish the …

It’s looking more and more like a three horse race. Blackpool are out of it after another defeat tonight and Birmingham are going to choke under the sheer pressure of games. Reading were less than convincing tonight but picked up yet another three points. That’s 21 from 21 now – terrifying! …

The little Welshman must be a genius! Piquionne made his debut for Doncaster tonight and scored! And it wasn’t a lucky deflection off his arse! What the hell is Allardyce doing with our forwards? Why do they all look useless under him? Bloody centre back mentality! We …

It’s not nice but it’s sensible. I must admit that I don’t know much about football north of the border – other than it is crap – but it’s hard to imagine that Rangers players can’t do a job in the Championship and …

He’s gone! Well let’s not get too excited, he’s only gone for a while. And we’re still paying the bulk of his wages. Maybe all of his wages for all we know. And if Freddie is leading the Doncaster attack, they’re unlikely to pose much of a threat…

No wonder the FA are taking their time before appointing a new manager, with the wheels coming off the ‘Arry wagon with a vengeance. Defeats against Man Utd, Arsenal and Man City and a draw at Stevenage in the Cup have…

How appropriate that Adel Taarabt lost possession for Everton’s goal, costing QPR two vital home points, because this guy is single handedly relegating QPR. Pavel Pogrebnyak’s record in the Prem stands at five goals from five shots and puts Taarabt’s failure to net…

Whilst praising the contribution of Captain Kevin Van Nolan, Doctor Evil couldn’t resist another bitch about his misfiring forwards. At pains again to explain that Nolan is there to finish rather than create, Allardyce insisted, “Kevin Nolan is a midfielder goalscorer, …

Wow! What a result and what a performance from Pogrebnyak and Dempsey. It’s looking as if Jol saw Hughes coming when the man who thought he was too good for Fulham asked about Zamora! Who is looking astute and who is looking a mug at the moment exactly? Fulham…

“We’re going for first, we want to go up as Champions”, so spake Captain Kevin Van Nolan after a huge, huge, huge victory. Once again, apart from two flashes of brilliance, it was a victory based on organisation and endeavour…

Nolan has his critics, and I’ve been one of them this season, but what you can’t ever take away from the guy is his hunger to score. What a finish. The move looked dead and buried after Maynard trapped the ball for the first time all …

No Reid and no Faubert, and Ringo Paul wasn’t up to it, so Doctor Evil has been forced on to the offensive! The side isn’t as compact as I expected it to be and the inclusion of Lansbury gives it a potentially exciting feel. The …

This is it, this is the big one. Lose it and we may well be buggered. Draw it, and we are in a three horse race for two places for sure. Win it and Reading’s steam train may just run out of puff – because you …

Another home game, and more vital, vital points lost. To reach 38 points, I identified today’s home game as one of three crucial home fixtures, including the matches against Stoke and Swansea. With two more vital points surrendered, it means the one of the games …

When I posted on here that we had to hope for a Millwall victory today, some tribal idiots took issue with me. Well those fools should look at the table now and consider the implications of Reading having taken 18 points from the last 18. As I write, Southampton …

Another home game, still more points lost. Liverpool are now cut adrift from the top 4 and but for the consolation of the League Cup, would now be struggling to qualify for the Europa League. Dalglish was brought in to return Liverpool to greatness, but instead is leading…

I’m sure there must be a rule preventing it, but if not, Sullivan and Gold should consider funneling some revenue down to Portsmouth to keep them afloat. With the administrator warning that, without a cash injection, Portsmouth may not be able to complete their fixtures, the situation is…

Bless. Stuart Pearce looked around the Engerland dressing room for a carbon copy of himself and spotted an exhausted Scotty staring blankly into space, his jaw hanging open. “That’s my kind of man!” said Stewie. “A trier. Like me. Committed. Like me. Uncompromising. Like me. And as thick as ten short planks…
