Welcome to Boleyn Mansions Residential Home for the Elderly and Infirm! No sooner has he signed than the Rat is talking of ending his career at West Ham! Speaking from deep inside a cosy armchair, Rat expressed disappointment about the views from the Green Street ground -it’s about as green as Bucharest he moaned – but was enthusiastic about the possibility of trips into Essex, Suffolk and …

Is Carroll’s injury a clever ploy to put off rival bids?
Posted on 22 May 2013.
It’s all very convenient isn’t it? With Newcastle rumoured to be interested in reclaiming their former centre forward and suggestions that his performance against Reading might force up his price, Carroll has suddenly been struck down with an injury that will supposedly keep him out for four months. Who will buy him on that basis? How convenient. But if the rumours are true, we should be …

Sad Exit For Carlton Cole
Posted on 21 May 2013.
OK, he wasn’t Carlos Tevez nor Paolo Di Canio, but Carlton Cole always gave 100% for West Ham. At one stage he was linked with an unlikely £12m move to Inter Milan and, of course, he was called up for England – and not many West Ham players have worn the three lions in recent years. A forward who can’t score isn’t ideal, but Carlton led the line with courage, commitment and …

UKIP’s Nigel Farage to protest after West Ham sign Romanian Rat?
Posted on 21 May 2013.
It’s bad enough that 21.3m Romanians and 7.476m Bulgarians are planning to flood into Britain to claim benefits in January of next year, without the nations’ bloody rodents joining them. Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP and the bookmaker’s favourite to be Primeminister in two year’s time will, no doubt, be outraged by the arrival of …

Creamed Rice Beyond Sell By Date To Sign For West Ham?

Will we never learn? How many clapped out has beens looking for a soft landing into retirement have we signed? This season alone, we have taken on Diarra and Joe Cole. Now, we are being linked with Ambrosia Creamed Rice, a very good player in his day, but a player who …

Nolan brings back memories of September 2005!
Posted on 19 May 2013.
I may be wrong, but I think you have to go back to September 2005 for the last time a player in a West Ham shirt scored a hat-trick. The opposition were Villa, and the hero that day was none other than Marlon Harewood. We won that one 4-0 and before we get carried away by tenth place with 46 points under Allardyce, it might be sensible to remember that we…

West Ham 4 Reading 2 – What a difference a year makes!
Posted on 19 May 2013.
Twelve months ago, Reading stormed into Upton Park and took us apart. We were shocking, they were brilliant, and we were consigned to the play offs – a miracle combination of results apart – as Reading chased down the title. Twelve months on, and Reading arrived with Adkins in charge instead of McDermott and already down. But for 15 minutes at the start of the game they looked the better side, and…

Half TimeWest Ham 2 Reading 0 – Carroll the Giant dominates Reading’s Lilliputians
Posted on 19 May 2013.
Well, considering our dire record against Reading, that first 45 was pretty damned impressive. Yes Reading might have scored in our typically dodgy opening 15 minutes, but for the last 20 minutes, we have utterly dominated and it could be 4-0. McCarthy has pulled off a brilliant save from Nolan, after a superb header back …

On loan star in shock exit from West Ham
Posted on 18 May 2013.
Oh my God. Fans the length and breadth of Green Street and the Barking Road were shaking their heads in bewilderment and dismay today after manager Sam Allardyce revealed that top transfer target Emanuel Pogatetz will not be at the club next season. After a string of startling performances in a West Ham shirt, Pogatetz will unquestionably be missed. Indeed, some fans were planning a campaign to get the number…

England call up proves Carroll can achieve his ambitions at West Ham but…
Posted on 17 May 2013.
In one sense, Carroll’s call up by Woy is good news because it proves that he can achieve his ambitions at West Ham. However, the timing is unfortunate. If he is picked, and plays a starring role, other clubs may suddenly look to sign him and his price may be jacked up to a level that we cannot afford. Meanwhile, Carroll may think he is worth every…

Leeds set for Bournemouth, Wigan, QPR, Reading, Doncaster and Brentford or Yeovil

No wonder GFH Capital did a deal on season tickets given the profile of the Championship next season. Apart from Leeds themselves and Leicester, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham, Derby, Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday, the division has suddenly taken on a distinctly mediocre look. Home fixtures against the likes of Bournemouth, Wigan and…

Could Scotty Parker really be on his way to QPR from Spurs?
Posted on 14 May 2013.
How the mighty have fallen. Butterfingers Green thought he was too good for West Ham, or worth more than we were prepared to pay him, and his Premiership career has predictably slipped through his fingers. Mark Hughes quickly understood Green’s limitations, and brought in Cesar, but despite limited appearances, the signing of Green was still a key factor in…

West Ham should target West Brom’s Odemwingie
Posted on 13 May 2013.
QPR’s loss could be our gain. The guy is not getting any younger but he knows where the goal is, and his pace would really add something to the team. West Brom fans won’t ever accept him back and Bibs and Cones Stevie has all but conceded that he will leave. There’s a bargain basement deal to be done here if we move quickly!

Allardyce Unfair to Collins &, Heaven Forfend, Nolan
Posted on 13 May 2013.
I’m not surprised he was upset by the team’s performance, but Allardyce was harsh on Collins and Nolan when he said only one player did himself justice – Jussi. I agree that Jussi was superb and just about everybody else was a shower of shite, but Collins saved as many goals as the Finn, throwing himself in front…

Everton 2 West Ham 0 – Shameful Cowering Before Moyes’s Maruaders
Posted on 12 May 2013.
Bloody hell, I left a lido in 80 degree temperatures to watch that! And I think half the team stayed in the bloody pool! Collins and Jussi apart, we were a disgrace. Collins prevented three certain goals with fantastic blocks, and the Finnish keeper saved at least four efforts worthy of a goal. The midfield was non existent and, time …

So why does it take us 15 minutes to switch on? In fact, in the case of today’s game, why did it take us 30 minutes to switch on? It seems to me that apart from Collins (who has been superb), Reid, O’Brien, Jussi and Nolan, the team think they are on holiday. Collison has…

Will the Moyes send off help West Ham at Everton?
Posted on 11 May 2013.
It’s a bit of a strange one isn’t it? Moyes is off, his bags are packed, and he is heading up the road to disliked rivals Manchester United, but he remains in charge of Everton for our game and the one that follows. Will the fans give him a great send off, or will dissenting voices make themselves heard? The wisdom seems to …

Congratulations to Reid, condolences to O’Brien, Diame & Jussi
Posted on 09 May 2013.
No quibbles from me about the winner, the home game against QPR apart, Reid has been superb all season. Avram won’t be remembered too fondly but he was in charge when Reid was signed – albeit he did his best to destroy him by playing him at right back against Villa on his debut. Great credit is also due…

West Ham Should Buy McCarthy

(Article submitted by Stani) As the season draws to a close and we begin to look to next season, the goalkeeping position is one we will be looking to strengthen over the summer with Jussi Jasskelainen now in the twilight of his career. Yesterday I read an article linking us with Brad Guzan, who …

Half Time West Ham 0 Newcastle 0 – A Tale of Tiny Margins
Posted on 04 May 2013.
Well was Cisse’s shot over the line? If not, it was bloody close, but Reid deserves huge credit for the clearance. Most would have given it up, and the few who bothered to chase it back wouldn’t have had the speed to catch it up, nor the skill to kick it clear – so even if it was just over, Reid deserves the luck. At the other end, we had…

Yeovil can blitz Sheffield United at Huish Park

Would ex Swansea star Scott Sinclair fit the bill at Upton Park?

I’ve always rated the guy, even when he was a Chelsea player out on loan in the lower divisions. He has barely had a kick all season at Unreal City and Mancini has hinted that he will be allowed to leave this summer, and I would love to see him at Upton Park. At the moment, a return to Swansea is being mooted, but like Carroll, …

Does Carroll want to relegate Newcastle?
Posted on 02 May 2013.
Given he is being strongly linked with a move to Newcastle in the summer, Andy Carroll will find himself in a very strange position if, as expected, he is selected to lead the line at the weekend. If he scores the winner, and pushes Newcastle closer to the relegation trap door, then he could either scupper a dream move back to his home town club, or condemn himself…

I don’t care who else we bring in, the two year extension to Reid’s contract is fantastic news.
