(Submitted via comments by The Doomsday Clock) I am sure we all know that DG has a twitter account where he seems to spend some time replying to fans comments (both good and bad). On the Olympic Stadium issue he he is quite clear: this is the preferred option but will not happen unless there…

Playing Poker with the Boleyn
Posted on 16 January 2012.
I’ll see your Olympic Stadium and raise you the Boleyn. Interesting to read that we may not move to the OS after all. Believe that and you will lose your house, wife and the keys to the motor if you ever sit down to a game of poker. Sullivan and Gold bought the …

Reasons to be cheerful for West Ham and QPR on the most depressing day of the year
Posted on 16 January 2012.
Today is the most depressing day of the year apparently. Not in Blackburn after they climbed out of the bottom three at Rangers’ expense. Well maybe in Blackburn. Let’s face it, how could you be anything other than miserable in Blackburn, unless you have moved there from Middlesbrough! So, what is there to be cheerful …

QPR target Samba demands move
Posted on 16 January 2012.
So Samba has officially requested a transfer. That will cost him a slice of the transfer fee, but with his eyes set firmly on PSG, that won’t trouble him too much as they have the money to give him a big golden handshake and a tasty salary into the bargain. QPR fans will be…

Write Down of Boleyn’s Value
Posted on 16 January 2012.
So we are still issuing accounts – not that they have proved to be terribly reliable in the past. For the layman, there is a veritable tangle of figures, some suggesting that things have improved financially, whilst others paint the opposite picture. Of course, the picture will only be clarified at the end of the season. If we …

Swansea and Norwich show QPR the way!
Posted on 15 January 2012.
You have to admire the Welsh and Norfolk minnows. Norwich’s result at West Brom was impressive but Swansea’s victory over Arsenal, after going a goal behind, was nothing short of fantastic. Who, outside of Wales, would have had money on the Swans beating the Gunners after giving them a goal start? The Game really is going crazy! Glance at…

What our subs bench tells us!
Posted on 15 January 2012.
Faye, O’Neil, Baldock, Lansbury and Carew – all five would walk into the first team of 18 or 19 of the 24 teams in the Championship. Add to that lot Taylor, who was injured, and Demel too, and you have to concede that whilst utterly ill equipped to cope with the Prem, we have a pool …

Daily Mail Taunts West Ham Fans
Posted on 15 January 2012.
So it seems the story that Piquionne had signed for Wolves was all rubbish. Like a boomerang, bad rubbish comes back, even when you fly tip it on the forecourt of a Premiership club and say good riddance. Still, he may yet explode in a rush of goals. He may have been …

Beard lets the cat out of the QPR bag.
Posted on 15 January 2012.
Responding to suggestions that Barton may be on his way out, Beard – who is suddenly the club’s mouthpiece with Fernandes fading into the background – said: “We are not a selling club. We’re in the market to buy ONE or TWO players. We’re talking to several clubs about options, so I’m cautiously optimistic that we can strengthen the squad.” …

QPR News: Warnock explains disastrous start to new career
Posted on 15 January 2012.
After piloting the Costa Lotta onto rocks, former QPR manager Neil Warnock raged: “Those rocks were a mile offside. I’m not having that, I’m not having that at all. People will turn around and say this was my fault. I could lose my job over this. But if you can’t defend against set pieces – and let’s…

Allardyce in for Doncaster’s Billy Sharp and El Hadji Diouf
Posted on 14 January 2012.
With the Rhodes bid coming to a dead end and Sharp rejecting Leicester, expect Allardyce to swoop for Billy Boy and to take Hell Hadji too, now the spitting demon has achieved full match fitness with Doncaster. Sharp will offer the promise of goals and is available at a price that will enable …

It’s all going PEARson shaped at Leicester!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
Oh dear, what a shame. After sacking Sven and poaching Pearson, it’s all gone tits up in the Walkers Stadium, with Leicester now a full FIFTEEN points adrift of an automatic promotion place. It is now one win in eight games, and Leicester fans must be looking back on the Sven era wistfully. What flavour Walkers crisps…

Allardyce’s Tactics Explained!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
All is explained! Those of us wondering why we were not more positive after the sending off now have our answer. Quoted on the Official Site, Doctor Evil explains, “Then, of course, the game changed completely when WE went down to ten men”. So, there you have it, poor Sam was confused! He thought WE were a man short! It’s …

QPR sink into bottom 3 under Hughes!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
Bring back Warnock! Sack him and what happens? QPR slip into the bottom three for the first time since the opening day thumping against relegation rivals Bolton Walkabouts. The gRs will tell us that it will all be OK when Tevez, Alex, Johnson, Pienaar, Samba and co join, but who will believe in the Fernandes revolution when the Hoops…

Portsmouth 0 West Ham 1 – 3 points but another utterly uninspired performance
Posted on 14 January 2012.
We are joint top! It’s another three points! Allardyce is a genius! Alternatively, our only goal was from the penalty spot, Portsmouth played most of the second half with 10 men, and the shots on goal count stood at 9 to 2 in Portsmouth’s favour over the 90 minutes – and one of our 2 was from the penalty spot! Overall, Portsmouth had 13 shots to…

No Excuses Today at Portsmouth – But the OS is making them!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
So, Allardyce almost has a full squad to choose from for the game at Portsmouth. Only Taylor and Demel are ruled out by injury, and all the key players should be fresh after a two week break. If we don’t win today, the Allardyce bubble will be well and truly burst. He has a squad…

Wolves baying as Piquionne targets third consecutive relegation!
Posted on 14 January 2012.
Is it true? The Daily Mail, in a very short report, have announced that Freddie the Fly Tipper has been dumped in Wolverhapton. Apparently, Allardyce pulled up in the middle of the night, opened his boot, and left a rolled up carpet at the gates of Molineux, with Freddie thinking about …

QPR Pienaared off and running out of options.
Posted on 13 January 2012.
Another day, another fruitless bid. Yesterday it was Samba, today Pienaar, tomorrow Alex. Not surprisingly, players are reluctant to join QPR in 17th place in the Premiership, and clubs are not happy to deal on the basis of QPR signing now and paying later. The latest rumour centres are Muntari …

No Taylor, No Left Flank
Posted on 13 January 2012.
So Allardyce has signed a big lump for the back, and is offering to buy any striker with more than five goals to his name, but the most glaring hole in the team is still being ignored. When Taylor is fit we have balance on the left but when he is…

QPR P**S**G IN THE WIND IN TRANSFER MARKET
Posted on 12 January 2012.
Well Samba wants to get the hell out of Blackburn, but strangely he doesn’t seem keen on joining QPR. In fact, he doesn’t even seem keen on joining Tottenham. Instead, the great Blackburn lump has his eyes on Paris, openly inviting a bid from PSG. Fernandes can offer £15m in the certain knowledge that the …

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth.

No News Is Bad News
Posted on 11 January 2012.
Another day ticks by, and still we await the first signing. We had a fortnight between the Coventry game and the Pompey match to recruit new players, and that is now down to just two days. So, there will be no new striker to bang in the goals and no new winger to supply the ammunition, obviously. So how …

QPR and Mark Hughes – Makes sense on paper.
Posted on 10 January 2012.
So Fernandes, to give him his due, has acted quickly and decisively. With poor old Warnock clearly floundering, the Malaysian hasn’t buggered around, he’s simply got rid and recruited the best guy currently available as a replacement. Hughes has been there and got the t shirt, so looks like a safe pair of hands. The …

…we will be renamed West Ham All Stars before you know it! How good are these players? Well worryingly Allardyce has no idea. As he admitted on Radio 5, he doesn’t bother to check out players personally, he trusts to his scouts. Whereas Stoke’s Tony Pulis insists on seeing a player perform live before he …
