Excuse me for a moment whilst I pull up my post on New Years Eve. Now what did I write exactly? Hang on, the headline was “QPR now desperate for a win on Monday” and the final paragraph read, “Norwich will now know that defeat at Loftus Road could be disastrous. All the promoted clubs …

West Ham 1 Coventry 0 – Satan Gives and Allardyce Takes
Posted on 02 January 2012.
Well Satan is fulfilling his part of the bargain. This was another stuttering performance – with the team again only managing a single goal against weak opposition – but incredibly, we sit joint top at the end of the day. Never mind events at Upton Park, Southampton and Miserableboro both suffered 3-0 defeats, with the Saints losing Lambert to a red cars for …

Half Time – West Ham 0 Coventry 0 New Year, Same Old Rubbish
Posted on 02 January 2012.
First the good news. No sign of Freddie The Fly Tipper – maybe he is on his way to Wolverhampton after all. But that’s it! No prizes for guessing the team. New Year so Doctor Evil picks the same old rubbish. Potts is made SBOBET player of the month but that’s not enough to get him a place …

New Year, New Hope
Posted on 02 January 2012.
Well 2011 ended just as you would have expected it to end – miserably. December really was a terrible month, stripped of all seasonal cheer – except for Nolan and Faubert who successfully negotiated their day off with their bookings at Birmingham. 2011 really was a terrible, terrible year. Apart from our exploits in …

Wolves want Piquionne
Posted on 02 January 2012.
Hard to believe! Why would anybody want a 33 year old striker who can’t score and who has been relegated in each of the last two seasons? Perhaps somebody has misunderstood and Doctor Evil has simply decided to feed the Fly Tipper to the pack of wolves he keeps in the woods around his castle!

The Window’s Open But…
Posted on 01 January 2012.
OK, it is a bank holiday and we probably can’t register new signings yet, but after the early rumours, it has suddenly gone very quiet on who we might sign. Time and again this happens of course. All the excitement in the run up to the window and then nothing happens …until just…

Could we really sign Kebe?
Posted on 01 January 2012.
Apparently we are interested in Reading’s Kebe. You have to ask “Really?” on two counts. Firstly, the guy is very, very, very hit and miss. The guy is 27 and has achieved nothing in the game to date, managing just 3 caps for Mali! Reading fans regard him as lightweight, a player who lacks heart and desire. He is…

QPR now desperate for a win on Monday!
Posted on 31 December 2011.
Oh dear. After a highly creditable performance at the Emirates, going down by a solitary goal, it must be choking for Rangers fans to find themselves fourth from bottom in the division and desperate for a win against Norwich on Monday. Anything less than three points from that game and the jaws of relegation will open wide. Happily for …

It’s the midfield, stupid!
Posted on 31 December 2011.
He just doesn’t get it, does he? How many forwards did we have on the pitch at the end of the game? Cole, Nouble, Hall and Baldock. And what has Allardyce prioritised in the transfer window? A bloody forward. Look at the bench for today’s game. The outfield players were Cole, Carew, …

Does Allardyce Suspect New Year’s Eve Foul Play?
Posted on 31 December 2011.
Very interesting to read Doctor Evil’s comments about New Year’s Eve parties allied to his comments about how “unusual” it is to have so many players collecting yellow cards in a game when they are already on four cards and a game away from suspension! Allardyce makes it crystal clear that a player would be putting his…

Allardyce lets fly at Piquionne and Carew!
Posted on 31 December 2011.
And not before time! On the eve of the Derby game, Doctor Evil has had a swing at goal shy and lazy arse Freddie the Fly Tipper and John Not Got A Carew. Quite simply, they aint pulling their weight according to Allardyce. I love the bit where Allardyce says that they are not earning as much as they…

At £8m, is Newcastle’s price right for Tomkins?
Posted on 30 December 2011.
Not sure where this figure has come from but it is featured in one report on the web. The £3m offers for JT were complete jokes, but could we afford to reject an £8m offer? In the current market, that figure looks a bit tasty. Tomkins is good and has the…

Allardyce wishing on a star.
Posted on 30 December 2011.
It’s beginning to look as if Doctor Evil’s wish list is precisely that – a wish list. And that to fund his dreams, we may be willing to part with our best players. Two bids of £3m each have already been rejected. Cardiff have told us where to stick our money when…

Read the Barcode on Tomkins’ Ass!
Posted on 30 December 2011.
Well it looks like our future England captain could be on his way to Newcastle. Doctor Evil has scoffed at the £3m offer for Tomkins but has failed to slam the door in Pardew’s face. He’s simply told Pants Down to check the barcode on JT’s arse to find the true price. …

No Rhodes Lead to Upton Park
Posted on 29 December 2011.
O dear, it looks like Huddersfield are playing hard ball over Jordan Rhodes. It appears the Terriers are going to hold on to him like – well like a terrier holds on to a rag. Will we up the bid or look elsewhere? £3m already looked like a gamble to me, anything more would be very…

Doncaster’s Sharp or Huddersfield’s Rhodes?
Posted on 29 December 2011.
If you can believe the gossip, Leicester look set to sign Billy Sharp from Doncaster for £3m whilst Doctor Evil seems intent on spending the same amount on Huddersfield striker Jason Rhodes. The question is, who would get the better deal? Well to some extent it is academic because Sharp wants to stay close…

Baldock back for Derby!
Posted on 29 December 2011.
According to David Gold, Baldock will return for the Derby game, but maybe he is just tweeting to prove that he is not dead! I must admit that I’m surprised given Little Sam wasn’t deemed fit enough to sit on the subs bench against Birmingham. There’s also a chance, apparently, that Faye and Taylor could play…

Lucky Leicester Fail Again!
Posted on 28 December 2011.
Tell me, why wasn’t Konchesky shown red when he chopped down Martin at the knee to concede the penalty? The Ipswich man had a clear run on goal and Konch was unquestionably the last defender. The foul was crude and cynical and would surely have secured red if committed a yard OUTSIDE the box. But referee Drysdale bottled it, deeming the…

A great point for QPR or a poor return compared to rivals?
Posted on 28 December 2011.
No away point in the Prem is to be sniffed at, and every point is a stepping stone to safety. But have the results over the last two days seen QPR edge towards security or slide further into trouble? Bolton’s defeat at home to Newcastle was huge for all the clubs down at …

No Nolan. Will we find fluency and shape with kids?
Posted on 27 December 2011.
I kept saying that Parker didn’t suit the role we were playing him in, and his replacement Captain Kev offers the same dilemma. Tell me, what did he do against Birmingham apart from rake Zigic and argue with the officials. Piquionne and Faubert were dire, but Nolan pushed them for Tosser of the Match. He was booed when…

How poor are Piquionne and Faubert?
Posted on 27 December 2011.
Well the Birmingham game summed it up for me. Piquionne and Faubert are a waste of space. The Fly Tipper has appeared 20 times this season and scored just 2 goals, and one of those was a rebound as he lay on the ground bemused. He is not a winger, to be fair…

Birmingham had Spector at right back and we still couldn’t beat them!
Posted on 26 December 2011.
Says it all really, doesn’t it? Time and again we saw opposition teams take us apart down whichever flank Spector was stationed on, but today, Piquionne lacked the desire, the gumption, the pace and the supply to take advantage of the Wank. We were handed our goal on a plate – just like at Brighton – and…

Birmingham 1 West Ham 1 – A hugely expensive point.
Posted on 26 December 2011.
Well I very nearly called it exactly right on December 15 when I predicted bookings for Nolan and Faubert, although I must admit that I expected them to negotiate a day off on Boxing Day, not this coming Saturday. But perhaps their New Year’s parties are a long drive away so they need …

The Pressure Builds!
Posted on 26 December 2011.
Bugger. Boro have just won so are sitting above us in table. If we lose today, the sweat patches will grow under “I’ve never failed” Doctor Evil’s armpits. I called today a “season defining game” and that’s even more true now! The team selection is odd. Still no Faye so Potts gets another start. But Allardyce has left Lansbury on …

A Season Defining Game
Posted on 26 December 2011.
I said it before the Middlesbrough game and unfortunately that fantastic victory was followed by the miserable results against Burnley and Reading. So much for season defining games. But this one really, really is! Just as West Ham don’t do away games up North in the cold early winter, so West Ham don’t, traditionally, do well when stuffed with …
