Oh dear God, Clattenbung will be furious! He normally corners the market in these sorts of decisions but Webb came up with an absolute corker today for Bolton’s opener, awarding a free kick for a back pass that was arguably unintentional and then allowing Bolton to take it before the Stoke keeper was able to retreat to his line, never mind…

It’s a bit rough on them after beating nine man Chelsea 1-0 and scoring two goals at home to Man City, but QPR can now feel the pressure of the bottom clubs pressing up through the seat of their pants. Bolton served notice today that they will not sink without trace, whilst Wolves edged to within a point of Warnock’s boys…

Say what you like about Doctor Evil but he seems to have a watertight contract with Satan! With Leicester closing in on a new manager – it looks increasingly like Pearson – it was important that they didn’t pick up three points. I suppose a draw would have been the perfect result for us at this stage, but I …

What is it with West Ham? Why can’t we play well for the full 90 minutes? Why do we play in fits and starts? Prior to the arrival of Allardyce, people were pointing the finger at fitness levels, claiming the players weren’t properly conditioned. But that can’t be true when Doctor Evil is at the helm surely? Time…

Oh the irony. Diouf is supposedly out of condition but you wouldn’t know it from a two goal return for Doncaster today. It seems as if the campaign waged by the fans to block his signature may be the real reason why the £2,000 a week man is wearing red and white hoops rather than…

After an utterly inept first half, where we offered nothing going forward and could have conceded twice, a different team emerged from the dressing room for the second half, inspired by Carlton Cole. He has his critics but his attitude is beyond reproach and today he notched up the two crucial assits that…

What an awful 45 minutes again! Hull have had all the chances so far and are playing all the football. Our best player has been Faye and that says it all! Noble has been industrious but gave away a stupid free kick on the edge of our box in best Scotty Parker fashion. Collison has been …

There’s a shocker! A new formation presumably, with Faubert reverting to right back, Diop holding, Noble, Collison and Nolan breaking from midfield and Crew and Baldock up front. I like the idea! Let’s see if it works!!!!! Team: Green Faubert, Tomkins, Faye, McCartney Diop Noble, Nolan, Collison Badock, Carew Subs: Kurucz, Potts, Sears, Cole &

Bloody hell! Take note of the Southampton goal, I don’t think we managed as many pinged passes in the whole game against Bristol City as Southampton strung together for that goal. Wonderful imagination at a free kick, wonderful football! Watching these goals is a real eye opener – when do we …

Now this is getting bloody silly. I thought the guy was talking cobblers when he described our performance on Tuesday as exceptional but now Allardyce has weighed in with praise for Rob Green. According to Doctor Evil, Green is better than ever. But how would he know if we were so exceptional against the bottom team in the…

So tell me, is the head of the BBC a Spurs fan or something? Hammers fans were always moaning whilst we were in the Prem that Match of the Day failed to show enough highlights from our games and now, if you want hard evidence of the BBC bias against the Irons, just watch the edited highlights of the game…

WTF? Captain Kev has been nominated as the “Championship Player of the Month for October”! What did he do to deserve that then? Well, scoring two goals is apparently enough. Never mind that most West Ham fans think he is a shadow of his former self. Never mind that he looks overweight. Never mind that his goal against Brighton came…

Who the bloody hell does he think he is? Sam Pot, the commander in chief of the Khmer Rouge and Blue evidently! Who pays whose wages exactly? Who shelled out to attend last night’s game, Allardyce or the fans? Who keeps the club alive? And when Doctor Evil is sacked or buggers off to pastures new, who …

Sorry to move away from football for a moment but this can’t pass without comment. Greece has decided to seek the views of its own population regarding the latest rescue package and associated austerity measures, and the Germans are crying foul! How dare the Greek government take into account the opinion of their electorate in a constitutional …

0-0 at home to the bottom team. The boos were harsh apparently. And according to Doctor Evil it was “an outstanding performance”! Dear God, bring back Avram!

What a terrible wasted opportunity. Two wins on the bounce and playing the bottom team in the division. It should have been three easy points. After all, Allardyce has got us playing such effective football hasn’t he? Now far be it from me to remind you that I questioned the quality of our performances in the games against Brighton and …

“I don’t understand these West Ham fans who think you win games by playing football. You don’t win games by passing the ball. That’s a stupid idea. Where has passing the ball ever got West Ham? OK, they have won a few FA Cups and a Cup Winners Cup and finished third in the old First Division…

Well this isn’t going to plan. No surprise with Sears on the left and Piquionne leading the line. I know Sears has hit the post but he can’t cross with his left foot and, as I’ve always maintained, unless you have top notch players, you have to use left footers on the left and right …

Sears and Piquionne start. Hopefully that doesn’t mean that Sam Pot is toying with a 4-3-3 formation. Sears on the left of midfield? It is a square peg in a round hole worthy of Zola and Grant! The question is, what’s wrong with Collison? Apparently he has to be “rested” but…

Our attention will be on events at the Boleyn with a sideways glance at what is happening at Southampton, but there are two other big, big games tonight. The Doncaster game against Middlesborough is an obvious choice but the Barnsley match may have gone under a few radars. Hull travel there, and…

As people may remember from my reaction to the death of Scott Parker’s Dad, I’m not into insincere, maudlin nonsense. So what if the sick parent of a footballer passes away? It is a personal matter and the RIP crap is insincere claptrap. However, when a two day old baby dies, that is a different matter. There …

WTF? According to Deano, Herita Ilunga has been “brilliant so far”. Now I admit that I have only seen the highlights – or low lights to be more accurate -but Ilunga has looked absolutely bloody hopeless in those: out of position regularly and playing a scorer onside in his short Donny career so far. We …

Not content with signing the grand old man of keeping, Brad Friedal, and Scotty wrong side of thirty Parker, ‘Arry now apparently has his eyes on old lags Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand. Much more of this and Tottenham will be changing their sponsors to Saga! There was a time when Tottenham bought exciting young…

Oh dear oh dear, Doctor Evil doesn’t take kindly to criticism does he? With his evil master plan to recruit Hell Hadji frustrated by the blogging guardian angels, Sam Pot is drawing the line at complaints about introducing Year Zero football to the Khmer Rouge and Blue. Allardyce exploded: “I don’t know why some …

After bowing to pressure from the fans not to sign Hell Hadji, Doctor Evil is now apparently after another of his old bad boys with ex Leeds and Man Utd thug Alan Smith is the latest reported target. Well we’ve had Bowyer I suppose, so why not his old mucker Smith? And then who knows, we could go for…
