They sacked Sven and poached Pearson from Hull but what difference has it made? The draw at home to Peterborough last week was poor, and the defeat at Doncaster today was disastrous. Dear God, Doncaster had Ilunga at left back and Leicester still couldn’t beat them! So, the pre season favourites to win the division are now 13 points adrift…

West Ham 1 Barnsley 0 West Ham in Wonderland!
Posted on 17 December 2011.
Well, despite being sent to the stands, Mad Hatter Allardyce is, no doubt, smiling like the Cheshire Cat after starting with Tweedledee Carew, Tweedledum Cole, Tweedledummer Piquionne and Tweedlepapa Diop, and squeezing out a 1-0 victory against Barnsley. That is, of course, the same Barnsley team that shipped five goals in 45 minutes against mighty Ipswich,but what…

Faye Late Withdrawal. In Comes Potts!
Posted on 17 December 2011.
We’ve just scored, a Diop header from a Noble corner, but we have Linda playing at centre back alongside Tomkins after Faye pulled out injured. So young Potts starts. Great name, and he is American too. Fingers crossed that he has as long a career as Steve! Hang on, he is

Tweedledee, Tweedledum and Tweedledummer all start against Barnsley!
Posted on 17 December 2011.
Carew, Cole and Piquionne all start as Sam brings out the battering ram and says fuck to subtlety. The midfield looks hopelessly light to me. Diop, Noble and Nolan are not going to offer a lot in terms of creativity are they? Presumably Diop is going to anchor in front of Tomkins and Faye, and Faubert and…

Allardyce’s Transfer Wish List of 25 Leaked
Posted on 17 December 2011.
Allardyce will be furious when he discovers that after revealing that he had a wish list of 25 players he was interested in signing, a source inside the club has leaked the names of the targeted players to this blog. I can exclusively reveal that the “Identified Twenty Five” are: 1 Bogdan 2 Steinsson 3 Alonso 4 Robinson 5 Cahill 6 …

Shock as QPR Star is Ruled Out for the Season
Posted on 16 December 2011.
You really couldn’t write it could you? Except I did. Some weeks back Warnock told us that Dyer was “ahead of schedule” and was “on course” to return before Christmas; and I scoffed. The chances of Dyer giving up a cosy chair over the festive season were one in a …

Put your money on a yellow for Nolan and Faubert!
Posted on 15 December 2011.
Christmas approaches and Captain Kev and Julian Faux Pas are just one yellow card each away from a suspension. It would be a disaster for either to incur a suspension with so many players ruled out by injury, but on a personal level, it would surely suit them down to the ground. Playing on…

£2.5m for Tomkins? Pull your pants up Pardew!
Posted on 14 December 2011.
What a bloody nerve! I thought Fernandes was taking the piss when he offered £3m for a player who will wear the Three Lions one day, but Pardew thinks he is Bruce Forsyth comparing ‘Play Your Cards Right’ yelling, “Lower, Lower” before bidding an utterly derisory £2.5m! Pardew, of course, differs from Brucie in…

Di Canio Turns On Players! Doomsday Nears in Swindon!
Posted on 13 December 2011.
I said he would be gone by Christmas and I may yet be right! Di Canio lost it completely after the game with Bristol Rovers, bad mouthing his own players, saying that he would treat them as “kids” because that’s what they deserve and, using a stream of four letters words in a radio interview. The Chairman is backing …

Allardyce Chases Higgs-Boson
Posted on 13 December 2011.
Doctor Evil is hot on the trail of Higgs Boson after reading about his stunning exploits in Geneva in Switzerland. “This boy seems to have it all,” Allardyce enthused. “He is lightening quick, incredibly elusive – so impossible to mark, and offers the sort of qualities that are essential to any team. He could be a building …

That Sinking Feeling at QPR

Does Tottenham’s Redknapp have Alzheimer’s?
Posted on 12 December 2011.
There we were, thinking he had Parkinson’s when in fact it is possibly Alzheimer’s! According to ‘Arry, he hasn’t criticised referees in “30 years of management”. Oh yes ‘Arry, then what about these? “I’ve never been one for criticising referees – it’s never been my game – but it was a blatant penalty. If…

Old Boy Etherington Stuffs Spurs!
Posted on 11 December 2011.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Pulis showed Zola and Grant and Allardyce the way by using good old fashioned wingers to bring Tottenham’s winning run – itself based on two nippy wide men – to a grinding halt. I keep saying how simple football is if you choose to cut out all the…

Did Reading’s Kebe get what he deserved?
Posted on 11 December 2011.
Coming back from the game, I was listening to 606 and was shocked to hear Savage and co say that Kebe deserved to be assaulted for pretending to pull up his socks. Clarridge joined in on the Football League show, risking allegations of racism when he said that a British player wouldn’t do that sort of thing. …

A freak result at Reading or the sign of things to come?
Posted on 11 December 2011.
Yesterday’s performance from start to finish was dire. It is true that Reading only scored when we went down to 10 men, but it has been said often enough that playing against 10 men can be harder than playing against 11, if the 10 are committed, passionate and organised. Ours weren’t. To go a goal down immediately, …

Rob Green’s Nightmares
Posted on 10 December 2011.
Poor old Rob Green must have been tossing and turning last night, ahead of today’s game at Reading. God forbid his wife asked last night, “How would you fancy a holiday in the States this summer. We could fly from Manchester and stay overnight at my cousin’s in Bolton.” January 1, 2007. Turds in charge. His backers claim you have to…

Apology to QPR Fans

Sorry guys. The Toat El-Sheit article was only a bit of fun. ( http://thegamesgonecrazy.blogspot.com/2011/12/west-ham-and-qpr-chase-moroccan-toat-el.html ) It seems some took it seriously and even wanted Rangers to sign Sheit in January, arguing that Sheit would be more at home at Loftus…

West Ham and QPR Chase Moroccan Toat El-Sheit
Posted on 08 December 2011.
With Carlton Cole wanted by Sunderland, and Anelka more likely to move to the Far East than the East End, Allardyce and West Ham are desperately scouring the world, trying to identify forwards available to fire the club to promotion. One target, Habib Habibou is said to be keen to trade Belgium for England, but with his club…

New Allardyce Target – Habib Habibwho?
Posted on 07 December 2011.
So who or what the hell is Habib Habibou? It sounds like it could be a form of Muslim veil or come in a bag of Starmix. Apparently he is a striker who plays for Zulte Waregem. Plays for who? Exactly! It sounds like a nasty disease you might pick up in a Dutch …

O’Neil Returns! And Lansbury’s back too!

I’m not a big fan of Gary O’Neil as a player, but it is great to see the guy is back and playing after that horrific injury against Villa at the fag end of the last season. Apparently he is a bit “stiff” at the moment, and that has nothing to do with internet sites he has been…

Warnock Lowering Expectations at QPR after chat with Fernandes

Hmmmm. So Tony and Neil have had a long distance chat – on Twatter, MSN or Skype no doubt given they are free of charge – and the outcome is that Warnock doesn’t want £5m to buy a striker after all. £5m? What sort of Premiership striker did he hope to get for £5m exactly? But …

Ruddock opts for West Ham over QPR
Posted on 05 December 2011.
You what? Why would any player in his right mind opt for Championship West Ham over Premiership QPR? Well, amazing as it seems, 17 year old Pelly Ruddock has done precisely that, opting to head East from Borehamwood to Upton Park rather than due South to Shepherds Bush. Why? Why would anybody in his right mind shun the…

Zola and Grant show Allardyce the way.

Today’s result should open a few eyes. Fans have been falling over themselves to hail Allardyce as some sort of genius because he has guided West Ham to second place in the table, but some of us – a very small hub or cabal – have kept pointing out that this is a crap division and that any “improvement” …
