Just as I predicted in midweek, Taylor is not being risked for today’s game, with Allardyce anxious to have five fit, combative midfielders for the trip to Miserableborough on Tuesday. Cole, on the other hand, is given a start up top alongside Baldock. The team also has a more positive look with Faubert starting on the right of midfield …

The Sun says, "Karren Brady is a whore"!
Posted on 26 November 2011.
Sorry about the headline, just quoting from Karren’s own (or ghosted) article in ‘The Sun’ so, presumably that is permissable? Isn’t it interesting that whilst whoring herself for “News and Abuse International”, Princess Brady is simultaneously pursuing a legal case because her own phone was tapped? Hypocritical or what? How our heart bleeds for you Karren as you take Satan’s coinage …

Move Over QPR and Chelsea, here comes West Ham Plastics!
Posted on 26 November 2011.
Well the name West Ham Olympic was rejected by the fans, so now Brady floats out her latest masterplan, throwing all tradition out with the bath water and transforming the club into West Ham Plastic. We mock Chelsea fans with the label Plastics and look back at the artificial pitches laid by QPR and…

QPR look to van der Vorst
Posted on 25 November 2011.
The news of Monique van der Vorst’s miraculous recovery from paralysis, enabling her to swap the Paralympics for professional road racing, is provoking excitement down in the Bush. Van der Vorst lost the use of one of her legs when just 13 and was paralysed in both legs when winning Paralympic medals; …

Defoe Snubs QPR
Posted on 25 November 2011.
Ex Hammer Jermaine Defoe has dismissed rumours that he might join QPR in January. Judas he may be, but he is not willing to walk out on Tottenham when things are looking so good – even if he isn’t playing; and there is just a suggestion that he doesn’t consider the Rs worthy of his …

Chelsea lining up Allardyce to replace Villas-Boas
Posted on 24 November 2011.
Patience is running out fast in the Abramovich penthouse and another three defeats over the next month will see Villas Boas sent back to the high school from which he was plucked. With the credentials of former first choice Guus Hiddink somewhat tarnished by the failure of Turkey to qualify for Euro 2012, Abramovich is said to be…

Matty Taylor to offer balance again
Posted on 23 November 2011.
What a relief. Taylor played for 67 minutes in a “behind closed doors” game with Ipswich – which we lost – and now is in contention for the game against Derby. I don’t expect him to start against the Rams actually. I reckon Allardyce will back the team to win that one regardless, and hold Taylor back for the bigger …

Tottenham’s ‘Arry Antagonising Allardyce
Posted on 22 November 2011.
You only have to go back to 2008-09 to find Tottenham and West Ham finishing on the same points total in the Premiership. Then Zola worked his magic and ‘Arry transformed Tottenham, and the rest, as they say, is history. Look at Tottenham now! True they are only in third place in the Prem, whilst we have…

QPR told to take a running jump!
Posted on 22 November 2011.
You have to laugh! Fernandes keeps giving it the “Big I am”, talking about how he is going to flash the cash and turn QPR into a major force in football, but when it comes to the crunch, well it’s an all too familiar whimper. The latest publicity stunt is to offer for Tomkins. Now never …

The Last Hour of Doctor Allardyce
Posted on 21 November 2011.
I’m not having that! As Allardyce describes himself as a tactical genius because of the substitutions on Saturday, Piquionne has come clean and admitted that the winner was the luckiest goal he has ever scored – correction mate, it’s the luckiest goal ANYBODY has ever scored. Piquionne basically threw himself out with his fly tipped rubbish, the ball rebounded off him …

Montano Impressing Again
Posted on 20 November 2011.
New club, same difference. Montano made his debut for the Daggers and promptly notched his first goal for the third team he has represented this season. Surely this boy is worth a place on the bench to be used as an impact sub? Start with Cole and Baldock, have EITHER Carew or Piquionne on the bench, and include young …

The Beginning of a Leicester Charge?
Posted on 20 November 2011.
Leicester 3 Palace 0. Oops, we could have done without that! True Palace started the game above Leicester in the table but we really didn’t want the Foxes running riot in the bins of the Championship. We remain nine points ahead of Pearson’s charges, but that gap could close quickly if Leicester start playing to their potential and our luck…

Zola Still Tarting Himself
Posted on 20 November 2011.
He doesn’t give up does he? Zola has been telling Talk Bollocks about how he expects to get another shot at management in the Premiership after his call to be employed in Russia apparently fell upon deaf ears. With Inter Milan not even acknowledging his application and Leicester City preferring Pearson Pragmatism …

QPR’s Warnock Stirs The Blatter Pot
Posted on 20 November 2011.
First off, I have to acknowledge a wonderful headline on the News Now board which reads “Warnock calls for Blatter Boycott”. What a lovely image that creates. The Swiss Swindler crossed with the woman beating, apartheid South Africa supporting, dour former Yorkshire and England opening batsman! “Now look young Jonathan, what you know about racism …

The Allardyce Way – Teaching the world how to play.
Posted on 20 November 2011.
Dear God, how desperate are the Doctor Evil apologists? Over on the Org there is a thread running eulogising Allardyce, and the consensus is that Allardyce is doing a fantastic job, not because the team is playing well, but because the team is playing badly! The logic is so perverse it requires quoting or else I will not do …

Leeds’ O’Brien Engineering Move to West Ham
Posted on 20 November 2011.
Interesting to read that Andy O’Brien has refused to play for Leeds and Grayson has said he will never play for the club again. This is hot on the heels of the Leeds manager insisting that there was no way the Anglo-Irishman would be allowed to go out on loan after he was linked with West Ham. O’Brien, …

Superb Day for QPR!
Posted on 19 November 2011.
What a dream day for the Rs! Many more like this and I will start to believe that they can establish themselves in the Prem despite Warnock, Anton, Gabbidon and Dyer! First ten minutes it was one way traffic according to the radio commentary I was listening to, and when Stoke went ahead…

Allardyce the Master Tactician
Posted on 19 November 2011.
OK, it may have been said a little tongue in cheek but Doctor Evil used the words “master tactician” in relation to his substitutions. Old Big ‘Ead said: “We changed it round at half time and I told the players that they were attacking the end where we had 6,500 fans who had travelled all the way to…

Coventry 1 West Ham 2 – Out of the clear blue skies!
Posted on 19 November 2011.
Well that was too close for comfort. Second from top against second from bottom, it should have been much easier than we made it, but three points are three points and victories for Southampton and Leeds apart, other results have gone our way. There’s a healthy buffer now between ourselves and seventh placed Blackpool, although the gap will close a bit after…

Coventry v West Ham Odd Team!
Posted on 19 November 2011.
Disappointed to see Carew starting ahead of Cole but good to see Badock starts. It looks 4-1-3-2 Green Faubert, Tomkins, Faye, McCartney Diop Collison, Noble, Nolan Carew, Baldock No Taylor. That injury seems to be pretty deep seated! Subs Stech, O’Brien, Sears, Cole and Piquionne. So still no Demel!

Unhappy Memory of Coventry
Posted on 19 November 2011.
28th of November, 1970. I woke up from an appendix operation with my concerned parents standing over my hospital bed. Still fighting the general anaesthetic, with my head groggy and my eyes feeling like huge pebbles were pressing them upon down, I looked for some sort of loving reassurance. Instead, my father muttered, “Bloody West Ham lost 2-1 …

QPR Face Dodgy Day of Dangerous Reckoning

It’s a big day for the Rs today. Stoke were badly wounded just before the international break and Pulis will have them well and truly fired up, seeking to get their season back on the rails. Ferguson wouldn’t choose to take Man Utd to the Britannia today, so it is rough justice on QPR that the fixture list has asked…

Pav Off!
Posted on 19 November 2011.
So ex Real Madrid defender Francisco Pavon isn’t joining us after all. The Mail reports that it is because we weren’t prepared to offer him a long enough contract but, as with Hell Hadji, Doctor Evil is putting it down to fitness issues. Interesting. What exactly does Allardyce expect? He knew that Pavon hadn’t…

One can only guess at Sam Pot’s fury about being roped into the Berezovsky and Abromovich trial.

Now Satan only knows why Allardyce would be involved in this spat between…

Here’s hoping Pearson fails at Leicester!

I had nothing against the guy until this week, but his switch from Hull to Leicester in mid season is nothing short of disgraceful in my book. Fair enough if a Premiership club head hunts a manager in the Championship, but to jump ship and climb aboard a rival shitik is utterly despicable. Of course, we are not …
