It’s Christmas and I am a little tipsy. I hope Santa brings you everything you desire. For Hammers fans that’s easy, a return to the Premier League in May and an opportunity to reach inside Princess Brady’s Christmas stockings. For the Grrrs, it may just be survival in the Prem and a grope …

Allardyce gives Blackburn’s Kean and Bolton’s Coyle a knife in the back for Christmas
Posted on 24 December 2011.
With other managers queueing up to offer support for Steve Kean, Allardyce wasn’t going to allow the little matter of Christmas and the Season of Good Will to All Men to get in the way of blazoning his ego. Would Blackburn and Bolton be in their present plight if Doctor Evil were still in charge?…

Brilliant Allardyce is so misunderstood
Posted on 24 December 2011.
He is’t a long ball merchant at all. He doesn’t advocate a bludgeoning style of football based on percentages and fitness levels. No, Doctor Evil is flexible and a fan of the beautiful game, providing that your definition of beauty is winning of course. Talking at the Telegraph, Sam explains that it was a charitable act to take on…

David Gold is NOT Dead.
Posted on 24 December 2011.
Despite headlines to the contrary on News Now, I am pleased to report that David Gold is not dead – well not the one that owns West Ham anyway. Another David Gold is dead, but he was not the frontman of West Ham United, he was the front man of “Woods of Ypres”. Seems tough…

QPR’s Warnock Beginning to Bluster
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Oh dear, Neil Warnock is now telling us that there’s not a lot of difference between QPR and the other promoted teams – and is putting the Rs lowly position in the table down to the late arrival of the new owners. This is all very odd because the last time…

Shut Up Collymore You Great Twitter!
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Well he was a complete arse when he was playing and a complete arse when he went dogging, so I suppose it should be no surprise that he is a complete arse as a pundit. Firing off unnecessarily because of Hansen’s “coloured” faux pas, Collymore couldn’t resist the rather pathetic, ” What colour would that be?…

O’Brien, Faye, Lansbury and Faubert available for Birmingham
Posted on 23 December 2011.
Unfortunately Baldock is still out, as are Taylor (injury) and Collison (suspended), but Doctor Evil has more options available to him for the Birmingham game than for the Barnsley match, which is a blessed relief. Presumably this will signal a return to a 4-5-1 formation, with the usual suspects shuffled and square …

Should we leave QPR and Fulham to fight over Maynard?
Posted on 22 December 2011.
With his contract running down, Bristol City have decided to give up the fight and let Maynard go. Now whilst the guy will be available at a bargain basement price, is that a good enough reason to sign him? He’s not exactly setting the Championship alight is he? His career …

Hansen Apology is Absurd.
Posted on 22 December 2011.
This is getting more stupid by the minute. Terry faces legal action BECAUSE he used the word black, and now Hansen has apologised for not using it! So bloody what that he used the word “coloured”? He isn’t in South Africa and it wasn’t meant to be insulting in any way whatsoever. Somebody…

Never mind the Academy, look who we lost!
Posted on 22 December 2011.
Dear God, as we bugger around trying to put together a team good enough to bludgeon it’s way to promotion, it hurts to see ex players performing so successfully in the shirts of other teams. This isn’t another gripe about selling the golden generation, because, to be honest, Rio and the loathed Lampard apart, none of them have proved that special…

QPR Drinking in Last Chance Saloon before Christmas.
Posted on 22 December 2011.
Poor old QPR. They remind me of an alcoholic sitting in a bar bemoaning his bad luck but telling anybody who will listen that everything will be fine after he has won the lottery in January. Yesterday was a huge kick in the cobblers and has left the Hoops curled up in agony…

QPR – One Point in Fifteen Spells Disaster
Posted on 22 December 2011.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh one point. Far be it from me to say “I told you so”. What pleasure would I gain from that exactly? Just because Rangers fans have abused me each time I have pointed out that they face a struggle to survive this season, that doesn’t mean …

John Terry Charge is Absurd!
Posted on 21 December 2011.
Tell me, what will be gained by fining Terry £2,500 even IF he is found guilty as charged? The decision of the CPS to pursue this matter stinks. How do we know for sure that the decision maker isn’t a fan of Tottenham, Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea? We are told …

Relegate Liverpool!
Posted on 21 December 2011.
I’m not sure where I stand on the Suarez affair. Initially, I thought he should be kicked out of English football if it was proven that he had used the N word repeatedly towards Evra, but the more I learn about how the Spanish version is used in Uruguay, the more I understand how the term may have…

One Big Halls Up!
Posted on 21 December 2011.
You can keep him. No you can’t! What the hell is going on? Yesterday we agreed to extend Hall’s loan by a month; and today we recalled him to Upton Park. What a mess. The poor guy must be utterly bemused. The last time he was called back, Allardyce sat him on the bench and didn’t use…

£95m to REDUCE the capacity to 60,000
Posted on 20 December 2011.
Explain the logic somebody. Why spend £95m to reduce the capacity of a stadium? Why not put a screen around the upper tier seats if empty seats are a problem. Surely when we qualify for the Champions League, we will need the full capacity? And here’s a strange idea, how about offering free seats to all…

Montano left to rot in Dagenham
Posted on 19 December 2011.
Well Allardyce reckons he needs three new players and faces an injury crisis over the crucial Christmas period, but that’s not enough to provoke the recall of Montano. Indeed quite the opposite, we’ve told Dagenham they can extend the loan and keep him until the New Year. Clearly the boy is…

Allardyce Targets Three New Signings In January
Posted on 19 December 2011.
Apparently, Doctor Evil has three priorities for January, a new centre back, a new wide midfielder and a new forward. Now whilst that is reassuring, it does beg a question or two of course. Like why, exactly we parted with da Costa and sent Barrera out on loan. Now I know the Mexican looked crap in Claret …

The Return of the Joker – Duxbury Breaks Cover!

Full marks to KUMB for hunting down the Grand Puppet Master, Scotty It’s All Going to Plan Duxbury. Mere mortals, surveying the carnage left behind after his tenure as CEO, were wondering what exactly had happened to him. Like Lucan and Shergar, it appeared he had disappeared off the face of the…

More Biased Coverage From The BBC!
Posted on 18 December 2011.
Did anybody watch the Championship Show yesterday? How brief were the highlights of the West Ham v Barnsley game? Blink and you would have missed us! Dear God, they even edited out the cat! Maybe Princess Karren has insisted that she’s the only Claret & Blue pussy allowed on TV! Anybody would …

Southampton back on top!
Posted on 18 December 2011.
Southampton are back on top and based on a fifteen minute purple patch, when they played more football than we have managed all season, deservedly so. I do like the look of Lallana and Lambert, they are head and shoulders better than anything we have. What impresses me is the …

Why the Suarez delay?
Posted on 18 December 2011.
He either used the N word repeatedly to Evra or he didn’t. What on earth are the FA deliberating over? Perhaps it is a split decision with one old duffer struggling to understand what’s wrong with calling a black man a N***** exactly. If there is TV evidence supporting Evra’s claims, then Suarez should…

How the hell did we go down last season with Ba in the squad? What the fcuk was Grant up to, playing him wide on the left in a 4-3-3 formation game after game, instead of playing him through the middle? I am no fan of 4-3-3, it is a formation of the gods …

QPR have great opportunity to upset Man Utd today
Posted on 18 December 2011.
Don’t look too closely at the league table, just focus on Man Utd’s team sheet. The Mancs arrive with up to nine players ruled out by injury. The back four is unsteady without Vidic, the keeper is dodgy and the midfield is lacklustre in comparison to Man Utd teams of …

The Lesson of Young Potts
Posted on 18 December 2011.
Yesterday illustrated what I have been saying for some time, that rather than trust to gnarled old pros seeing out the dregs of their careers, we should give youth its head. This is a crap division and is the perfect place to develop young talent. Who had heard of Potts at the start of the …

QPR Slipping Down Table

With Swansea and Norwich both picking up excellent away points, and Wigan grabbing a point saving equaliser against Chelsea, QPR’s true position in the Prem has crystalised. A victory over Man Utd tomorrow would paint a different picture but, as things stand, the Rs are down to 15th in the table and are…
