    [It can't be true then if the 'Daily Fail' is reporting it. Let's face it, we don't agree with the paper's politics and abhor it's treatment of George Clooney so it's sports angle has to be deeply flawed too, right? It must be annoying that it's one of the few remaining papers that still offers a free website, otherwise we'd all still get our sports news from the Socialist Worker in between giggles at it's clever pop at the public schoolboy mauled by the polar bear.]

    Anyway, back to the plot, remind me what Wally Downes did again?

    I think he was entertainments officer. A bit like Mr 'La di dah' Gunner Graham in It Ain't Half Hot Mum. Definitely nothing like Tulisa Contostavlos.

    Farewell to Wally - not sure how much his training techniques contributed towards our promotion - I'd put it more down to Steve Black putting their heads in the right place.

    QPR manager Harry Redknapp is to boost his Premier League squad by signing highly-rated midfielder Mark Davies from Bolton Wanderers this week.
    Redknapp is anxious to increase his numbers at Loftus Road after training with only 15 senior players last week, including Loic Remy who is heading to Liverpool.
    Davies, 26, also fits the younger age profile for new signings preferred by owner Tony Fernandes.

    A day after his son wrote a scathing article about QPR. Hmmmmm.

    Not a loss.

    I hope Wally's gone, far too many bad rumours from his stay at West Ham.

    Like what?

    I know our players look like they've had no coaching whatsoever, just look at attacking and defensive set pieces.

    There was alleged use of proscribed recreational substances on West Ham United property.

    Probably a CIA set up though.

    Wally's son is a QPR supporting journalist, he was on the podcast and came across very well.
    I think some people are just upset he's not conforming to the "Ooo Rio Rio! Please play for us Rio!! <smooch>" mindset.

    Anybody Seen Allardyce?

    He's over six foot tall, has an ugly mush and is likely to be eating a pie. Anybody spotted him yet?

    West Ham should launch an Allardyce version of "Where's Wally?" Sorry, I forgot, they had to ship him out so Allardyce could get a free run at the pies!
