I hate West Ham and Allardyce. I'd love them not to go up. Allardyce thinks he is still in the Premier League and I'm sure thought it was a formality they'd go up! - The stories of him apparently putting in loan bids for Torres and Tevez in January sums them up... not to mention having Nolan and David Bentley on the wage bill! He reminds me of Peter Reid - knows very little about the football league - Just likes to sign up 'big names' he sees on match of the day and rely on his 'contacts' and his old players he's probably trebled the salary of (such as Vaz Te). West Ham and Leicester had the best tools to get automatic promotion this season and have simply not done enough!
I know a few West Ham fans and they've been against the style of football from the off, but they were getting results, so Allardyce was doing the job. However now the results aren't coming and it's clearly because they play predictable football, and the fans are complaining.
Is anyone more revolting than Millwall? O.K maybe Cardiff
"In their otherwise mundane lives" - bad day Macca or have you just been watching too much of The Matrix?!
Hey not referring to most people on here who are able to string a sentence together. But look around you at a match, the moron ratio is quite high!
If West Ham had AT as a manager where would they be, ha ha ha my infamous comment a couple of weeks ago
East London, where they are now?
When we had AB we played hoofball, but it got us up to 4th. When our style of play got found out we went into freefall. WHU had the quality to last longer before freefall.
The best way to get out of this division is passing the ball. This and a 20 goal striker and you are top half of the table. Rub of the green and you are top 6.
Got nothing against Allardyce personally. Wouldn't like him to be our manager though.
I would - without question.
Stoke City?
Was that the game when jonnie Jackson scored in the last minute. Ahhh the west tetrace!
and if they move to the olympic stadium
I remember playing WBA at HR about 10 years ago. Day of the tsunami. Had to drive from Lincolnshire to Glasgow then to Cov in heavy snow to take a couple of my lads to the game. They couldn't believe the size of the WBA players to ours. Their shortest player was the size of our tallest. We won with a late goal. Them days you had the biggest, strongest players you could get. Now most teams go up by playing football, not hoofball. A lot has changed in the last 10 years.
My original post was a slight parody about how fans in general are fickle. The example was West Ham and how football is forgotten when results are achieved. The moment results don't come, the football is questioned. Big Sam will only play one way and it may work or it may not.
I was amazed by a set ot fans - who have always prided themselves on playing football - getting off on their strikers literally stamping over defenders at the Ricoh and scoring goals by sheer brute force rather than skill.
I must be a liberal because I hate the way Stoke City play 'football' and would rather see CCFC in the conference than watch that, but, watched the Copa Del Rey last year when Real Madrid beat Barcelona and was bored shitless at half-time. No physical contact and 'butterfly' football.
My position? Try to play football with agression and spirit, like 1967 and 1987....
