So, Allardyce has added to the squad at last. Is he John George, George John, Boy George, John Boy or John Ringo Paul George? God only knows! I’ve never heard of him? Have you? He’s big at 6’3, so he is a typical Allardyce player, but that’s just about any of us know at the moment. Not one to …

Fat Frank Coming Home
Posted on 09 January 2012.
Pigs might fly! Well Frank might fly then! But he sure as hell won’t be heading back to Upton Park as one ridiculous report on the net suggests. There’s as much chance of Gordon Brown being welcomed back as leader of the Labour Party or of Steve McClaren being reappointed manager of England or of Rob Green …

Allardyce comes clean and says "Blame me!"
Posted on 08 January 2012.
After West Ham’s humiliating exit from the FA Cup at Sheffield Wednesday, manager Sam Allardyce has put his hands up and admitted that his tactical limitations are behind West Ham’s failure to score more than a single goal in each of the last seven games. Speaking after the long journey back to London, Allardyce said: “Some managers …

QPR Sack Warnock and Target Avram Grant
Posted on 08 January 2012.
QPR’s patience with Neil Warnock has run out and the great motor mouth has been replaced after a disastrous run of games which has seen the Rs collect just one point from the last 21. With relegation fears growing, new owner Tony Fernandes has panicked and sacked the man who led QPR to promotion…

ELEVEN minutes of injury time and we still can’t score!
Posted on 08 January 2012.
OK, a number of key players were rested from the game, but the situation is now getting desperate. In the last seven games our goal return has been: 1,0,1,1,1,1,0. That isn’t a problem, that is a crisis. We were playing against a Third Division team managed by Gary Megson today for pity’s sake! And our opponents in the previous games …

Liverpool to wear Downing shirts to show support
Posted on 08 January 2012.
With the news breaking that Stewart Downing has been arrested for allegedly punching his ex girlfriend in the face in a nightclub at 1 am, manager Kenny Dalglish is no doubt preparing a statement offering 100% support to the player, and arranging for Stewart Downing t-shirts to be printed for the players to wear whilst warming up before …

Allardyce Picks Team To Win!
Posted on 08 January 2012.
Interesting. Doctor Evil seems to be trying to win the game whilst not risking his blue chip players. Green, Tomkins (both subs), Nolan, Cole and Noble (nowhere to be seen) are all rested, but O’Neil, Lansbury, Collison, Reid, O’Brien and Baldock all start. You have a sense that Sears and Carew…

FA Cup Third Round – Who Cares?
Posted on 08 January 2012.
St Andrews was half full yesterday for a game between Birmingham and hated rivals Wolves – and that says it all. Man Utd and Man City are scrapping for bragging rights today but both managers would happily trade a place in the FA Cup for 6 points against their gobby neighbours in the Prem. What sort of team will Allardyce …

QPR’s Warnock Seeks Replay Of Norwich Game
Posted on 07 January 2012.
After studying tapes of the Norwich game, the QPR manager Neil Warnock has identified a guy wearing a grey suit with a blue shirt and wearing a hat in the Norwich section of the crowd. At one point, the mystery man is clearly seen to shout something at the assistant referee, who shortly…

Leicester’s £1.85m for Doncaster’s Sharp is a snip!
Posted on 07 January 2012.
Reports are suggesting that Leicester are triggering a £1.85m buy out clause for Billy Sharp. If that figure is correct, then it is the bargain of the century. There were all sorts of rumours about us signing Sharp last weekend – in fact he was supposed to be in London for a…

Time for Liverpool to sack Dalglish and the club to resign from the FA Cup
Posted on 07 January 2012.
So the full consequences of the Suarez affair have now been exposed. When Liverpool players wore their Suarez shirts in support of racism, I called for the club to be expelled from the Premiership. I called the gesture arrogant and dangerous and stated that it put Liverpool on the side of the racists. I also asked …

QPR or Spurs? What a dilemma!

Just imagine the dilemma. You are playing for Blackburn and you learn that Spurs and QPR both want to buy you. What do you do? Stay with Blackburn and face almost certain relegation? Of course not! Not when you can jump ship and have a choice between Spurs and QPR. But how could you choose…

West Ham add international defender with Prem experience to squad
Posted on 06 January 2012.
Don’t get excited, its Herita Ilunga shuffling back to Upton Park after his stroll in Doncaster! But amazingly, Rovers want him back again! Why? I’ve kept an eye on Donny since Rita has joined them and I’ve seen how often they have conceded because the guy is AWOL from his left back berth. If I was Doncaster, I…

Allardyce Signs Up Budweiser After Rejection From Carlsberg

Allardyce is branching out in all directions! He has a role in a film and is now featuring in a Budweiser ad.

QPR News: Fernandes Refuses Warnock Transfer Funds

Well there’s a surprise! The Mail are reporting that Tony Fernandes has suddenly got cold feet and is telling Warnock to target loan signings rather than spend any of his cash. The threat of relegation is getting to the big gobbed Malaysian. Just as I predicted, he is proving to be all mouth…

When John Terry Met Diane Abbott.

Can John Terry criticise Diane Abbott or would that be the pot calling the kettle black?

QPR’s Crisis Deepens
Posted on 05 January 2012.
Dear God, Bolton have won at Everton! They now sit just one point below QPR who, with just one point from 21, must surely sit rock bottom of the “Current Form” table. Barton’s appeal against his red card has, meanwhile, been treated with contempt by the FA. Any money they now look at …

Leicester back in the reckoning! Southampton so unlucky!

It was not only the Claret & Blue clad Crystal Palace fans who shuddered a little when Leicester won that game in South London. Suddenly a whole host of clubs started looking anxiously over the shoulder, fearful that the Foxes might abandon feeding off scraps from the Championship bins and start a charge for promotion. Our buffer is 12 points, and…

Poor Doctor Evil must think he is trapped in an episode of Little Britain.

Incredible, truly incredible. We sit in second place in the table, on course for automatic promotion courtesy of a single goal victory over Coventry. But we could have been top. Southampton and Middlesbrough played their parts by losing and shipping three goals apiece. Had we taken Coventry apart – as a team third from top playing a team second from…

You have to laugh. Norwich’s Bradley Johnson has had a pop at Joey Barton, but has clearly been told how to spell breath and been obliged to make a correction – check out the A which has obviously been changed from a T. But never mind Barton’s “breth”, there’s a nasty stink in the Bush in…
