I don’t know about anybody else but I’m getting right royally hacked off by Allardyce tarting himself for the England job. How long has he been at the club for pity’s sake? But here he is again, hitching up his skirt outskirt Wembley Stadium inviting, “I’m Sammy, try me.” That’s probably why he is persisting with…

The Campaign to Save The Boleyn
Posted on 19 October 2011.
Regular readers of this blog will know I have been opposed to the move to the Olympic Stadium from the off. I’ve never believed the tosh about it being a stepping stone to great things, for me it has always been a way of releasing the land in Green Street for redevelopment, reimbursing Sullivan and Gold’s investment…

Allardyce fails to apologise for series of poor decisions.
Posted on 19 October 2011.
Why can’t managers come clean and admit, “I fcuked up”? Just once in a while it would be refreshing to hear and we would end up respecting them just a little bit more. The fact is, we lost last night because Allardyce got a whole host of decisions wrong. Firstly, the change to 4-5-1 / 4-3-3; I …

Too Disappointing For Words
Posted on 19 October 2011.
Conundrum solved? Nope. I got back too late from the game to write a report last night and this morning I really don’t want to think about it. Winter is coming and it was dark when the alarm went off for the first time in months. That seemed horribly appropriate. …

QPR’s Warnock to Sign Team of Trolls
Posted on 18 October 2011.
Apoplectic because confidential information was shared on a blog, Neil Warnock has sworn revenge by recruiting a team of trolls to attack the sites of any bloggers he takes issue with. Explaining the placing of adverts for “Angry Trolls” Warnock said: “Christmas dwarfs need not apply. I realise that, because of the Tory fuelled double dip…

Spurs invent new Olympic Sport – Spanner Throwing!
Posted on 17 October 2011.
So, Tottenham are no longer pursuing their legal action; well there’s a shocker! Having put a spanner in the works and brought the machine to a grinding halt, they have now decided to throw the spanner away. Well, why waste money fighting a case you have already won? The big question is why exactly the journalists consider …

4-4-2 or 4-5-1 at Southampton?
Posted on 17 October 2011.
The debate is raging: should Doctor Evil revert to 4-5-1 for the table topping head to head at St Mary’s, or should he stick with a winning formula, retaining 4-4-2 and going for Southampton’s throat? There’s no doubt in my mind. To change a winning team would be to show fear and we…

QPR’s Warnock Blames The Bloggers!

Dear God, the man has a history of pointing the finger I know – The referee cost us…we were only relegated because of Tevez…if you can’t defend corners…it’s the bloody boots – but it’s pushing it a bit to blame some poor sod of a blogger who shares news with fellow fans! OK, I…

Frankel – The Greatest!
Posted on 16 October 2011.
Shergar was brilliant. So was Brigadier Gerrard. So was Nijinski. So was Dancing Brave. But none of them compare with Frankel. He annihilated a superb field in the Queen Elizabeth the Second at Ascot yesterday, and had Queally not restrained him for the first half a mile, he would probably have been out of sight by …

Where was Carlton Cole?
Posted on 16 October 2011.
According to Gold’s tweet, Cole was available for selection but rested – along with Henri Lansbury. Now in the case of the Arsenal man, that makes perfect sense as he had played for the England U21s. But how much rest does Cole need exactly? He had enjoyed two weeks off as it was! …

How long before Leicester flat pack Sven and send him back to IKEA?
Posted on 16 October 2011.
There has long been a suspicion that Sven has a screw loose – or is a loose screw – but there is a real danger that his expensively assembled Leicester team could soon collapse after some very ordinary results and performances so far this season. Given all the money spent, the team has an amazingly ordinary look…

QPR v West Ham – The WarnockGrant Index
Posted on 16 October 2011.
So, how good or bad has QPR’s start been to the season if compared with our results last season against the teams they have played so far? We finished rock bottom, of course, 5 points shy of the usual safety mark, although a full 7 points short of the necessary total to survive as it turned out. With a whole host of …

QPR edge ahead of West Ham in race to sign Beckham
Posted on 16 October 2011.
So Fernandes now wants Beckham. He wanted Parker of course. And give him a week or two and no doubt he will express an interest in Tevez. We have heard it all before at West Ham and know how the publicity machine makes noise to drown out mutterings of concern. After the hammering at Fulham…

How good is Southampton’s Lambert?
Posted on 16 October 2011.
We are getting excited at West Ham about Little Sam Baldock, but how good is Southampton’s Rickie Lambert? I scoffed at our proposed purchase of Mucky-Smith, arguing that if he was any good, a Premiership side would have snapped him up long ago, but Lambert is a different kettle of fish. How …

Baldock – The new Michael Owen

QPR’s Warnock Slams Campbell’s Carpet Slipper Boots
Posted on 15 October 2011.
Poor Neil Warnock is furious that QPR’s battle to survive in the Prem will be undermined by the metatarsal injury to key striker D J Campbell. According to Warnock, it is all down to the “carpet slippers” that the modern day footballers wear. It had long been thought that Warnock was giving …

Montano opens his Swindon account
Posted on 15 October 2011.
He only negotiated the magic roundabout on Friday, but Montano has already bagged his first goal for Swindon. It’s only the bottom tier of English football, I know, but scoring goals at any level is a useful habit to develop, especially when you are not an out and out striker. Meanwhile Di Canio has no doubt been alerted to the availablity…

QPR to buy Canesten to cure a worrying itch in the Bush.

I warned before the game that this was a shit or bust fixture for QPR, and have been advising caution about Warnock’s charges supposed “good start” to the season for a couple of weeks now.

At last! According to the OS this is the biggest home league win since the 4-0 triumph over Aston Villa in 2005!
