Hello, hello, hello. The gRs were telling me that Alex was definitely joining QPR because the Chelsea reject and the QPR manager share the same agent. But now, it seems, Alex has rejected the Hoops and is heading for PSG instead. You what? Alex has failed to agree terms with Rangers apparently. But …

Opening credits. Voice over. “Henry James Redknapp, you have pleaded not guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the…

Satan must be rubbing his hands together in glee as he studies the contract signed by Allardyce, giving his soul in return for the England job. With ‘Arry in court today, facing a possible stretch inside for alleged tax evasion, Doctor Evil’s West Ham Wanderers were confirmed as leaders of the Championship as Satan’s vermin Leicester City ripped …

He really is an arrogant, disrespectful git isn’t he? Not content with producing a Bolton B Team in Claret and Blue, Allardyce has bad mouthed the club’s heritage, scoffing, “The West Ham way is the losing way”. It’s true. Even with Moore, Hurst and Peters in the team, we lost more games than …

Well there’s a surprise! Henrique is not joining QPR after all. It transpires that the Brazilian wonderkid doesn’t qualify for a work permit! Now you would have thought that Fernandes and the QPR Board might have checked out whether or not Henrique would meet the criteria for a permit before …

Anybody kidding himself that Allardyce has worked some kind of oracle at West Ham should take very careful note of key stats revealed in Saturday’s match day programme. Based on games against the teams sitting in the bottom half of the table – the real shit of the division – our results, even before …

Oh dear , oh dear, oh dear. Hoops fans might like to think again about the wisdom of signing Onouha after his mother has said that he will only make a move that is “right for his career and family circumstances”. It sounds very much to me as if Mummy doesn’t want her darling Nedum living too …

The bloody nerve of the guy! He reckons he is targeting a return for the last month of the season, providing Hughes leaves a berth in his 25 man squad for him. If not, Kieron won’t go flat out – correction, he is always flat out but you know what I mean – aiming, …

I know Taylor is injured, but that’s not the bloody point! What the hell is Collison doing taking corners from the right? Every one is dollied up wide and deep, aimed towards Tomkins – and JT can’t head a goal to save his life anyway – and with no pace and no whip; it is so so so easy to defend. How many …

Poor Scotty Parker must have thought he was back in Claret and Blue, as Tottenham shipped three goals and “Mr West Ham” was cruelly exposed – having his head stamped on by Balotelli into the bargain! For the Nasri goal, the Tottenham back line was ripped to shreds as an unchallenged Silva, operating in the hole that Scotty is …

Well that result was huge! It’s not just the three points, although the three points were massive of course, it’s what the win has done psychologically to the team and the fans. At last a home victory in the Prem against 11 men! At last back to back wins! At last a buzzing sound in the Bush! And all this …

How subdued were the crowd again today? True the performance was uninspiring but the atmosphere at the Boleyn was dreadful. It was all summed up by the muted response to Kriss Akabusi’s reading of the teamsheet. Poor Akabusi gave it his all, reading the selected players’ names as if they were returning World Cup …

Well that was much closer than it should have been – AGAIN! And to those who claim that you get a better understanding of the game if you are there rather than watching on TV or on a good INTERNET stream, all I can say is that I had no idea why either of the penalties were awarded watching…

Put yourself in Gabbidon’s and Ferdinand’s boots today. And in the boots of who ever starts at left back or in place of the ex Hammers. This is QPR’s biggest game of the year, and three players go in to the game knowing that new manager Mark Hughes is hell bent on replacing them. …

Oh dear God spare us! Now I defended the selection of Davies for England but even I am not going to get excited about the idea of him joining West Ham. He is 34 FFS and isn’t good enough to hold down a place at Bolton! And whilst Davies is good at some things – bullying opponents, throwing his weight around, …

Damn. I said it was only a matter of time before Barton landed one on Warnock’s jaw, and it seems from the twitter spat that the Gobby One’s dismissal has indeed robbed us of that golden moment. Just picture for a moment Warnock gobbing off as Barton storms from the pitch, getting close up …

The Mail is reporting that we are bidding for Jelavic. Trouble is, Rangers haven’t received a bid and the figure being quoted comes nowhere near the Scottish club’s valuation. So, that sounds like another made up story then! We have given up on Rhodes and this latest deal looks likely to…

Poor Neil, it seems I played my part in getting him the sack. It had nothing to do with QPR’s terrible run of games without a victory – one point in his last 8 games wasn’t it? – nor the fact that they had only won one home game all season – and that against…

Well it is January 19 and the news is, “There aint been no news”. No new striker, unless you count Dixon, a 22 year old that nobody has ever heard of. And no new wide midfielder either. Not even a 22 year old that nobody has ever heard of. We do have a new big lump to play at the …

Oh dear God. So Anton’s form has been affected by the Terry controversy. The brave lad is going to “face up” to Terry when the teams meet and the former Hammer can “handle” the meeting. Anybody would think Terry had raped him or murdered his loved ones. Stephen Lawrence’s mother was “affected” by the murder of her son. Stephen…

So, Leon Britton is officially the best passer of a ball in Europe. Better than Xavi. Better than Fabregas. Better even than Scott Parker and Diop! And Swansea City, who out-passed Arsenal at the weekend, officially have the best pass completion rate in the Premiership, with Britton pulling the strings in the midfield hub of the team. So…

Well, when you face the possibility of going down, you want a Brazilian in the Bush don’t you? And it looks as if QPR may have won the battle to bring the much lauded Henrique to the club. He is 20 years old, reportedly overflowing with talent and, apparently, is wanted by a host of clubs. But the star of…

Stranger things have happened! The draw has opened the door for a “lesser light” to make it through to the Final. Man City are out and one of Liverpool or Man Utd have to crash out in the next round too. There’s still the little matters of Arsenal, Tottenham and the winners of the …

All is forgiven! With his proposed move to Wolves breaking down, Freddie the Fly Tipper looked likely to remain a dead weight on our payroll, but then along comes Avram! According to reports, Avram believes Piquionne can fire Partizan Belgrade into the Champions League. The immediate reaction is “Really?” but who knows how Avram arrives at his decisions…
