Whilst I was fulsome in my praise for the overall performance, I found quite a bit to criticise in relation to individual performances. Cole, in particular, was embarrassing. I accept his hold up play and flick ons were good - better than a couple of seasons ago - but his finishing is beyond a joke. That near post header was laughable and the effort when clean through on goal was a Hammer Horror show. You cannot afford to carry a player THAT bad in front of goal. I like the guy and have backed him in the face of vitriolic criticism in the past, but sadly enough is enough.
At the back, there are still worries. Was O'Brien injured or did Allardyce act before it was too late? He gave away two free kicks in dangerous positions and is struggling on the wrong flank. The trouble is, young Potts apart, we only have McCartney to replace him - or Taylor who is inept at full back. IF we are to stay above the relegation dog fight, we need to source a left back in January.
Collins continues to make a mistake a game - he made amends this time by blocking Neptune's shot after Ginge kicked thin air from a routine cross, but a better forward would have punished him.
Jussi also looks dodgy to me. He made one spectacular save, but fumbled two as well.
But what about QPR and Mark Hughes? Redknapp's head is twitching fiercely as the possibility of managing yet another London club increases. If he lands the job, he will, of course, tell us that he was a Rangers fan as a boy!
Surely this QPR team are too good to go down? But then again, are they? Hoilett went down with Blackburn; Wright-Phillips has been relegated; so has Green; and Dyer; every side Ferdinand has played for since he left West Ham has struggled; Cisse failed in England last time around; Diakate is a twat; Zamora struggles when the pressure is on; Onuha is crap as I said when QPR signed him; Park never impressed me at Man Utd; Taarabt is brilliant in flashes, but like lightning he never strikes in the same place twice;...and so it goes on. Hughes has spent big but what has he got? A bunch of nearly men. Nearly good enough for the Prem!
As I said in my match report, QPR have started the season like we did under Grant. Once you get behind, it is one hell of a mountain to climb to escape relegation. Warnock must be loving it. And so must Barton. And Redknapp for completely different reasons!
All that said, to dismiss our performance because QPR are poor would be unfair. Allardyce selected a positive team and they responded superbly. The midfield looked excellent and when Carroll is fit, we will give most teams a game. The transformation from the side that struggled to draw at home to Leeds last season couldn't be greater. Eleven crucial, crucial points banked already. Bring on Arsenal! Allardyce enjoys upsetting Wenger!

You have literally just mentioned Leeds in the title to get some more hits. Fucking embarrassing. Any true West Ham fan should be ashamed.
Back again? And whilst Leeds are playing just across the Peninnes? You should be ashamed!
to be fair HF.is it a post about west ham v qpr and you have thrown leeds in the title and it barely mentions them! whats that about?
Fecking hell and how many hammers games you been to ??? None this season !!! You really are an embarassment in your undies, but im sure your "special friends" Headmaster and Shagaman Dave are happy!!!
So, how are the Grrrs? You insisted last season that west ham wouldn't be promoted and kept telling me I was an idiot for claiming the Hoops would struggle. Like to apologise?
Hard to get to West ham games when you are living in Bucharest 2101. Back again I see! And whilst Leeds are playing! What kind of fan are you?
Is your missus getting bolted by a QPR fan? You seem very resentful.
Your a f-cking dickhed hope you get run over
Who are west ham?
'The Daily Leeds' ha!
The same as you hammer a dont go to games!!! Why??? Mr Bates!!! Why dont you go??? Oh i live in Bucharest!!! Sure you do. Since a fellow whites asked you why you went to cricket instead of the game!! Then questioned why you didnt go to a west ham game but watched a Leeds game instead in a pub. There after you were living in eastern europe. "getting hard action double fist tv style"
Mark Hughes is a dead man walking ... My monies on "Arry" being manager before christmas ... We all know Redknapp loves the "i saved a club" tag ... and after spurs it'ud be the biggest job he'd ever had ... Lol ... BTW see the mighty leeds picked up a good away point this evening ... You must be happy ... 4 unbeaten in last 8 days (knighthood for Warnock anyone)
Good result for Watford tonight eh? Like the rest of us Zola clearly takes note of your wisdom and changes his team and tactics accordingly. Next he'll be banning Muslims using the excuse that it's Vicarage Rd,not Mosque Rd.
who gives a flyin f--k about west ham. you talk total bo--ocks.do us a favour. PISS OFF.
If Hammers keep playing like that, they may well be joining QPR and Norwich.
Hope Hammers dont mind,as a Leeds supporter,i dont slag other teams off, cos im a grown up.
I do rate Andy Carroll, he'd fit in at Leeds,he a good old centre forward.
If fakeover ever does happen, and money about,i reckon you'll see him heading up to Yorkshire next couple of seasons.
He was way over valued going to Liverpool.
He worth no more than 10 million.
But one knows without been horrid,
even now, there more likely a chance that Leeds will see euro footy before Ham will,even though still a league down.
Leeds will return, thats why everyone is starting to take notice of Leeds now.
It been a long time, but they are coming!
Like Ham, they are a big club still.
Big Sam done well for Ham, but god is the bloke drab!
He dont inspire me, hats of to Ham player though, they must be well self motivated!
Anyways, as a Leeds fan, i do enjoy your postings, real laugh some of em, some spot on, some well yeah, a bit of fun.
Do keep it up, you'd be missed!
Good when fans from all clubs can have a laugh with each other, takes our minds off the day to day grind!!
Awils
You apologise first
Oh numpty faggot is back. Must have decided that west ham are good enough to write about again. At least he has moved on to Leeds now that Warnock is there!
Leeds United and Warnock have no relevance at all to this blog.
You have a Pathological obsession.
Your Mum must have been touched up by a Big nosed Yorshireman.
HAMMERSFAN WHO ARE A FIN IMBACILE MATE ALL YOU YOU SEEM TO DO IS DEDICATE A WEST HAM SITE TO THE HATE
OF QPR AND AS WE DON'T PARTICULARLY HAVE A BAD HISTORY WITH WEST HAM OR ANY SORT OF A HATRED TOWARDS WEST HAM OR VICAVERSA I'M THINKING IS THERE SOMETHING MORE SINISTER GOING ON HERE . WAS YOUR MOTHER PERHAPS RAPED BY A DEMENTED SAVAGE QPR FAN .
IF NOT YOU REALLY SHOULD GROW UP AND CONCENTRATE ON SUPPORTING WEST HAM .
YOU ARE A CANCEROUS MF ,AND YOUR SORT CAUSE WARS , WANKER .
so predictable spam get a result your straight on if they get beat dont hear from you for a week
0550, you may not have noticed but it 0550, you may not have noticed but it was WR at Loftus Road on Monday!
Thought we had heard the last from you from a QPR perspective but rather than talking sense about the game you decided to tall utter rubbish and add your usual change your mind predictions. West Ham were woeful once Hughes dodgy first half tactics were sorted. Only for a proxy Jarvis goal he knew nothing about that game would have had a different result. Yes ye got at us in the first half and tried to kick us off the park, absolutely disgusting football. Those tactics are working now now but when the usual injuries and your inevitable suspensions arise from your style of football, things will get a he'll of a lot harder. You beat a disjointed QPR team who will get better especially as our defence returns from injury. We have a depth in squad you only wish for right now. You literally have no depth to your squad and we'll see this mini run end very soon as reality of the limits of your team dawn on u hammers. I'll admit Carroll can look impressive and did well when he came on but he is an on off type of player who is way over valued so quit your tripe that we are a team of has beens. Kissing made some fantastic saves and currently one of the best performing keepers so don't know what tosh you are on about him being dodgy. We have given you a 9 pt headstart and will finish above you and we will be clear of relegation while ye struggle. Long hard road a head for over confident hammers. I will not post or reply to another one of your so called blogs until season end and I remind you of this article!
Signing off, a realistic Rs fan aka Irish R
If i may,i would like to pick up on your opening sentence. I'm afraid the "debate" is NOT already on. What we have here is one sad and lonely Brit abroad devoid of human contact who treats the few genuine comment posters on here as his surrogate family. I use the word "genuine" because it would seem that you have one or two alteregos also. Appyammer is a particularly suspicious poster. I have read the comments on your last few posts and your reactions to those comments and i've noticed that you can dish it out but you can't take it. I also notice that you have no contact with the opposite sex and that when there has been contact your partners have continually been let down and left deflated but thats what happens when a little cock meets a blow up doll i imagine.
Tosser.
The debate is on? Out of 23 comments only 2 refer to your "debate". The majority of comments are just hurling abuse at you. What can you glean from that then?
