83% of England Fans See Through Tottenham’s Parker Myth
Posted on 28 February 2012.
England fans don’t always strike you as the most intelligent of people, but 83%, an overwhelming majority, have seen through the Scotty Parker myth and voted for other players as England’s Player of the Year. Parker fans, and his supporters in the popular press, …

The Homophobes Went In Three By Three!
Posted on 27 February 2012.
Hot on the tail of Morrison, three more players have been called before the Headmaster at the FA and can expect a jolly good caning for making comments that make “a reference to a person’s or persons’ sexual orientation”. Dear oh dear. The Thought Police must be spending all …

Stupid Scotty Parker Losing His Golden Spurs!
Posted on 27 February 2012.
You have to laugh! All those going overboard about Parker – even calling for him to captain England – might like to pause, think and reappraise. I have always maintained that he is no better than good – and someway short of good if used in anything other than the holding role – and …

QPR and Mark Hughes all at sea!
Posted on 27 February 2012.
After the good ship Costa Warnockia was steered too close the rocks and holed fatally beneath the water line, news is coming in that sister ship the Costa MarkHughesia has suffered a fire in the engine room and is drifting helplessly without power. Despite an expensive …

Hammersfan admits HE was wrong over Di Canio and Swindon.
Posted on 26 February 2012.
I could play Allardyce’s game and look for excuses, but as things stand, I have no choice other than to admit that I was as wrong as wrong can be about Di Canio and Swindon. I predicted that it would end …

At Last, Allardyce admits HE might have got it Wrong!
Posted on 26 February 2012.
OK, it is wrapped up in his call for the crowd to be patient and the excuse of tiredness is also used – which I believe to be legitimate – but Allardyce actually came close to blaming himself for yesterday’s insipid performance when he said, “I might have made a …

The Relegation Trap Door Yawns Wide Open For Sparky’s QPR
Posted on 25 February 2012.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Another day, another red card and another defeat. Apart from a home victory over bottom of the table Wigan, Mark Hughes’ start has been one disaster after another. Hope of a Martin O’Neill style surge of victories has proved forlorn; …

West Ham 0 Crystal Palace 0 – Ten Men Are Better Than Eight!
Posted on 25 February 2012.
Well I called it before kick off, warning that the game was a potential banana skin because sooner or later exhaustion will cut in, and I’m sure that fatigue was a factor today. That and the early kick off which dampens the atmosphere because insufficient lager has…

Leg Weary v Hungry Eagles
Posted on 25 February 2012.
This game is a potential banana skin. Palace come into it on a good run of form and we take the field with very little recovery time from the epic effort at Blackpool. Sooner or later, all the covering and chasing and closing that has been forced upon …

Green Plays, Blackpool’s Bednar Doubtful. Justice?
Posted on 25 February 2012.
Every now and then, the nation gets its knickers in a twist over the question of justice. A yob mugs a granny on her way home from the shops, she ends up a prisoner in her own home for the rest of her life because she is …

QPR’s Survival Prospects Bolstered Without Kicking a Ball!
Posted on 24 February 2012.
It’s another huge game for Mark Hughes and his Hula Hoops this weekend. Defeat against Fulham would spell big, big trouble and a draw wouldn’t be much use either. QPR need to start winning games, and they need to do so fast. …

Zola or a Nobody? Wolves opt for a Nobody!
Posted on 24 February 2012.
With the Wolves chairman insisting that the inability to source a replacement manager for Mick McCarthy is not embarrassing, poor Gianfranco Zola must be wondering what he has to do to get another crack at football management. Such was the desperation of Wolves that they…

FA do deal with Green
Posted on 23 February 2012.
There are whispers that a deal has been struck in smokeless rooms. In the light of all the retirements of England keepers, Pearce was desperate for Green to feature in his squad for the Holland game. But Green wasn’t keen unless somebody scratched his back in return. So a …

Noble Comes Out of the Shadows
Posted on 22 February 2012.
For so long an unrealised talent, the enigma that is Mark Noble appears to have come out of the shadows at long, long last. His admirers have wondered why the young man, who played second fiddle so brilliantly to Tevez in the Great Escape, has been in …

A HUGE WIN – ON THE CUSP OF THE PREM!
Posted on 22 February 2012.
Now regular readers of this blog will know I am no fan of Allardyce because of his style of football, but there’s no denying that the team are playing for him in a way that I haven’t seen a West Ham team play for a manager since that great …

Allardyce is on a different planet!
Posted on 22 February 2012.
He thought Nolan was unlucky to be sent off, even though he went in two feet off the ground, caught the player and could easily have broken a leg. He thought Taylor was unlucky, even though he ran over and grabbed an opposition player by…

Blackpool 1 West Ham 4 – Who needs eleven men or a keeper?
Posted on 21 February 2012.
Incredible! Three red cards in a row with three of our best players – on paper – taking it in turns for an early bath, and we end up with 7 points from 9 and tonight scored 4 for the first time since October 15 when we played……

Maynard Starts, No Cole
Posted on 21 February 2012.
Is Carlton carrying a knock or has he been dropped? Must admit I’m surprised that Maynard has been preferred. Otherwise, with Nolan and Taylor suspended, the team is as expected, with Tomkins continuing to anchor the midfield. Team Green O’Brien, Reid, Faye, McCartney Tomkins Nole Collison…

The Acid Test For Allardyce

Some of us would quite like to run Allardyce a bath of sulphuric acid, to be honest, but being the spawn of Satan, he would probably come out smelling of roses anyway. But tonight really is an acid test in …

Torres & Tevez? Nope Vaz Te & Maynard
Posted on 20 February 2012.
Give Sullivan his due, he does love to give it large! Three times we bid for Tevez apparently and three times the cock crowed “No” as Unreal City held out for £30m + from Inter or AC Milan. What were they thinking of? And as for Torres, why wouldn’t Chelsea…

Sullivan Blames Zola For McBenni
Posted on 20 February 2012.
Sorry to raid Dale’s “In Bed With Sulli” again, but there was debate on here about who exactly wanted to sign McCarthy. I have always maintained it was Zola’s call – and an illustration of the guy’s ineptitude as a manager – but others dissented, insisting it was Sullivan …

Parker costs Spurs victory at Stevenage
Posted on 19 February 2012.
Years ago, my daughter played in a six a side astroturf tournament. At half time (10 minutes each way) the score stood at 0-0, as the girls all finished like Carlton Cole, or Keane in a West Ham shirt. I stood on the fringes of the half time huddle as the coach gabbled tactics that not one of …

Sullivan Tells Dale, Spurs Loving Parker Wasn’t Trying!
Posted on 19 February 2012.
Full marks to Iain Dale, his in bed with the gobby one interview is proving fascinating. Today we learn about Upson, Green and Parker, and woe for the Scotty fan club, the “Mr West Ham United” certainly doesn’t come out of it smelling of roses! According to Sullivan – and interestingly he admits his …

Will QPR Reject Warnock Return to Haunt West Ham?
Posted on 18 February 2012.
So the delicious prospect of Warnock leading Blackburn to safety at the expense of QPR will not now be realised. Sadly, the opportunity of all the fun of the unfair in the Bush has been missed, Warnock perhaps recognising his limitations by opting for chasing promotion from the Championship – where he has a good track record – rather than…
