I don’t want to wish ill on the lad, but reading O’Neil’s account of his ‘recovery’ there are frightening similarities with the road not taken by Dean Ashton. O’Neil, like Ashton, is pleased to be running again, but the news that his surgeon had to change course during the operation…

Give Montano his head!
Posted on 12 October 2011.
I know the boy wasn’t always starting for Notts County a division down from the Championship, but sometimes you have to take a chance and give young players their head. I’m convinced that Sears was screwed up by the bits and pieces roles he was given by Zola and that…

Well Done KUMB!
Posted on 12 October 2011.
I’ve knocked them for stealing my threads but credit where credit is due, “David’s bent knee” is one hell of a headline! Mind you, on September 20th I did ask the question “A Broken Bentley?” It seems the answer, sadly, is yes. I wish the guy well but I’m not convinced we are losing a lot with his return …

Hmmm. At 10.13 am this site ran a thread entitled, “West Ham to rename the Olympic Stadium Dale Farm” and luke warm on my heels, KUMB published their thread entitled “Straford: the Dale Farm of football?” at 14.23 pm. Four hours to track down my thread, digest it and rehash it? Those boys

The Gaping Hole in the Olympic Stadium Argument
Posted on 11 October 2011.
Ok, so let me get this straight. Stay with me because we will go through this in simple, easy to understand steps. 1. The Olympic Stadium deal has collapsed because of Newham Council’s £40m loan to West Ham. That’s right isn’t it? OK with me so far? 2. Now, the Olympic Stadium is the key to …

West Ham to rename the Olympic Stadium "Dale Farm"
Posted on 11 October 2011.
How appropriate! Rival fans have called us Pikeys for years now, and Sullivan and Gold are about to prove them right! Never mind that we won’t own the lease to the OS, why does that matter? What’s wrong with being tenants exactly, paying an annual rent? It means that if …

Anonymous Complaint Sinks Olympic Stadium Bid
Posted on 11 October 2011.
Only at West Ham! As we speak, Sullivan and Gold are requesting the services of Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot and Colombo in a desperate attempt to identify who it was that killed dead the plan to move to the Olympic Stadium. Who was the anonymous complainant who pointed out that the loan from Newham Council represented “state…

Zola Heading For Siberian Gulag
Posted on 10 October 2011.
Poor old Zola seems to be a bit confused. He shares his name with a great French naturalist writer but he seems to think he is Solzhenitsyn all of a sudden, talking about moving to the Russian steppes to find a way back into football management after his disastrous stint in charge of West Ham…

Quarter Term Progress Report – Promising but must do better!
Posted on 09 October 2011.
The next three matches will see West Ham play leading or fancied clubs in the Championship; a couple of wins, or losses, could see us top of the pile or back in mid-table. How we do will provide a strong indication of our prospects but importantly neither a guarantee of success or…

QPR’s Kieron Dyer Targets International Return in 2012
Posted on 09 October 2011.
Frustrated by yet another cruel injury, QPR’s Kieron Dyer is reportedly targeting a return to international football in 2012. The former West Ham sick note, who has booked into QPR’s treatment room for another three month stretch, is currently investigating whether or not he qualifies for the United Kingdom Paralympics football team. Dyer must stand a chance of making the…

Di Canio’s Swindon starting to lose touch
Posted on 09 October 2011.
2-0 up against second from bottom Hereford, Paolo’s Swindon somehow managed to draw 3-3. Di Canio’s charges are now settled into mid table, a full 9 points off the lead already. The Italian’s fans will claim that he can still lead Swindon into a play off place, and that may well not be beyond them, but that …

Montano recall is intriguing.
Posted on 09 October 2011.
Interesting to see that Montano has been recalled from his loan. I was asked to write a little piece for a Reading blog at the start of this season and identified Montano as our player to break through this season. It may be that he only features from the bench for a while but this guy…

QPR’s Fernandes Flying More Kites!
Posted on 09 October 2011.
I thought this guy Fernandes had a fleet of airliners; if so, why does he spend his life flying kites? Over at West Ham we are used to bullshit and some of us with a brain now know how to spot it at 35,000 feet, but the poor old Rs fans seem to be taking this …

QPR’s Fernandes is as full of bull as Sullivan & Gold!

No wonder Sullivan & Gold didn’t fancy getting into bed with Fernandes, the guy is as full of bullshit as our two muck spreaders combined! Who are QPR interested in this week? Saviola, Beckham, Johnson, Zamora apparently…you name him, and Fernandes will be linked with him somewhere along the line. We …

Thank God for the England Cricket Team!

After last night’s miserable performance against Montenegro and this morning’s inept showing against the French, what a relief it is that England top the world in cricket. Perhaps the rugby team should now find half a dozen South Africans to bolster the ranks, and maybe Capello could encourage Arteta and a few other Spaniards to play under…

Dyer’s Open Letter to QPR Fans

Sullivan and Gold to get serious over Tevez!
Posted on 06 October 2011.
Apparently we are planning a “serious bid” for Tevez over the next few days. That’s interesting but it does make you wonder what that says about our original enquiry doesn’t it? Did Sullivan ring up and say, “Did you hear the one about the Italian, the Argentinian and a stadium …

Betting Scam Involves Rooney
Posted on 06 October 2011.
Wayne Rooney’s dad and uncle have been arrested on suspicion of betting fraud after Scouser Steve Jennings was sent off in the Motherwell v Hearts game – triggering payouts on bets placed on a red card being shown in the match. I would imagine that this is going to be a very difficult thing to prove – unless there is …

Kia Joorabchian says Leeds signed a player on a Third Party Agreement before West Ham
Posted on 05 October 2011.
Listening to Ikea on Radio 5 really got my blood boiling. The guy confirmed that Leeds signed a player on a Third Party Agreement years before we signed Tevez and Mascherano, and I really could not make out how Tevez’s contacts with Man Utd and Man City were / are legal, whilst his contract with West Ham wasn’t. Third …

Allardyce shows Rita the door!

No surprise that Ilunga has been shown the door by Doctor Evil, but the mystery is why any club would be daft enough to sign him! Poor little Doncaster must have done so on the strength of our 1-0 victory on their dung heap, believing the guy actually gives a damn. I suspect they are in for a very rude …

Another one I got wrong. I really did expect McClanger to do a decent job at Forest before springboarding to a Premiership club but, from day one, he was a disaster. The guy looks and sounds mad and I suspect he is either going through a breakdown or is trying to recover from one. None of us like …

Clueless Carew!

You have to laugh. According to John Boy Carew, we are the Manchester United of the Championship and that’s why every team raises their game when they play us. That is so much cobblers on two levels. Firstly, we are no bigger than Leicester and Leeds have a much more glorious history than we do. How many titles have …
