I’m confused. Isn’t there a rule limiting the number of clubs you can play for in a season? At this rate, Montano will play for every team in the bottom two divisions before the end of May. What is Allardyce doing to the guy? Nottingham is OK, but fancy sending him to Swindon! And …

Well the guy is Swiss so perhaps he is just a little bit cuckoo! The man who famously started out in football as the President of the Zurich Brown Shirts has put his jack booted foot well and truly in it this time. With Suarez charged for allegedly repeatedly using the N word to Evra and Terry under investigation…

I took issue with the awarding of the MOTM award to Parker on Saturday, but you will hear no quibbles from me about the award going to Walker yesterday. This boy is quick, bloody quick, and he was a revelation on the right hand flank. It is rare that a player looks immediately at …

What a wonderful idea! Zamora has fallen out with Martin Jol apparently, so he is being linked with a return to the club he supports. And wouldn’t we fans welcome him back with open arms? It’s a great story, but is it going to happen? Not a chance in hell! Why? Well look at Scott Parker. Capello made it …

Dear God, that is risky, taking the England blind squad to Wembley when Terry is captaining our country. How long before Terry jogs over and calls them, “Fcuking useless BLIND cnuts!”?

Looking pretty good to me. Zamora’s lack of quality in the box showed when he had a chance – he tried to take the extra touch and the chance was gone – but Zammo has linked the play excellently. Turds defenders should note that Curbishley showed Bobby the door, even though Zamora is …

It seems Doctor Evil is working his way through his wish list, meeting with rejection and frustration every time he suggests a possible centre back to bring in on loan. And that’s hardly surprising when you think about it. The window closed some time ago and any players that clubs were happy to part with were ushered through the …

£12m for Taarabt? Who are they kidding? There’s a report suggesting that Napoli fancy him, but the whole of Italy combined couldn’t afford to pay £12m at the moment, never mind the little donkeys of Seria A! PSG are also rumoured to be interested but surely not at that price tag. He looked…

I know the boy suffered a very nasty injury that kept him out for a long time, but it is very strange that, even now, he doesn’t seem to be able to manage two games in a week. Collison has missed out on Welsh caps this week, and the last time he represented his …

So before the international break the boards were full of rumours that Allardyce was after three defenders on loan to cover for the injured Reid and the threadbare centre back resources; but one week in and it has all gone quiet on the “Lend us a number 5” front. The “clever money” was supposedly on Man City’s Onuoha but…

I may be setting myself up here, but I really don’t get how and why Parker has become the darling of the journalists. It’s almost as if they are desperate to vindicate their selection of Scotty as Player of the Year last season, despite West Ham’s relegation. Yesterday is another typical example. Milner …

He got the Man of the Match and, to be fair to Parker, this game showcased his talents as an anchor midfielder superbly, but he so so nearly lost us the game when, in typical Scotty fashion, he tried to turn a circle in his own half and lost possession. Spain sprung and…

Well yesterday it looked as if KUMB were getting brave all of a sudden, daring to voice doubts over our plan to become tenants in an athletics stadium. However, the unnamed staff writer has probably had a flea in his ear after the club made contact and asked what the bloody hell they were up to! You can imagine…

Tottenham fans scoffed when I said Redknapp wouldn’t be in charge at Spurs by the end of October – but it seems I got it wrong by a matter of days. I said last week that the heart operation was remarkably convenient and hinted that news was about to break about ‘Arry’s trial for tax evasion. Well now we …

West Ham will announce this weekend the solution to the running track problem. Faced with the unexpected nightmare of a legal guarantee to UK Athletics that the track will remain for 99 years and the prospect of retaining the 80,000 capacity until after the 2017 World Championships, Karren Brady has hit on the perfect solution, inspired by a Channel 4…

Dear God, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel now! In response to my thread “Another Nail in the Olympic Stadium Bid” and KUMB’s “London Wins 2017 bid”, the OS has rushed out a statement pretending delight at London winning the World Championships for 2017. Now I’ve already set out why this represents a major problem to Sullivan & …

Well that’s surely it then. Good old Seb Coe has landed the World Championships for 2017 which means the Stadium has to retain its full capacity for another five years, frustrating any modification plans to make the Stratford bowl fit for football. Surely Sullivan and Gold will now have to accept defeat. The behind…

Anybody got any ideas? They are currently with Premiership clubs, have plenty of experience and are not getting much game time at the moment. Titus Bramble might qualify and, in many ways, would be an appropraite replacement for da Costa. We only need somebody for 2-3 months and he won’t be…

The link is carried below, and it is well worth a listen! The first thing to say is the guy is so disarming. He really does come across as a decent bloke, damn him! Do I trust him. No. Do I like him? Darn it, yes! There’s some fascinating stuff in the interview. Loved …

How many years has Dicks been managing in the basement of English football now? His latest project looks like being Dorchester Town, a club that Yeovilians treated with scorn and contempt even whilst the Glovers were in the Southern League! To think that there have been calls from West Ham fans for JD to be given the job at …

There is a certain irony in Paolo Di Canio sending Montano packing for not being professional enough, but it is a worry that our young starlet isn’t considered good enough for Swindon Town. Let’s face it, he isn’t a boy anymore, having moved into his nineteenth year. Whilst at Notts County he appeared to…

It looks like Baroness Ford has got Tottenham’s number, describing the club as “vexatious, frivolous and vindictive” whilst ECS committee chairman Dee Doocey has labelled the club’s actions in relation to the Olympic Stadium as “reprehensible” and “absolutely disgraceful”. Crucially, Tottenham are under investigation by the Economic and Specialist Crime Command of the Metropolitan Police Sevice following official complaints…

Any thoughts of relegation will soon be banished with the news that former England star Kieron Dyer is well on the treadmill to recovery. Although it will be mid December at the earliest before Rs fans can hope to see Dyer in game action, the news that he is making a quicker recovery than expected…

Oh the irony! In the summer we shed more centre halves than a dog sheds hairs in a summer moult, and now Allardyce is out with his begging bowl, pleading for somebody to lend him a yard dog number five, any yard dog number five. How much did we sell da Costa do? Just …

Anton is in receipt of a death threat letter following the racist allegations made against England captain, John Terry. Police investigations are at an early stage, but Terry himself has allegedly been ruled out of the enquiry on the basis that he cannot read or write.
