mockney piers Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Come on now kids, behave.Remember it could be worse, you could be hammers fans :(I still think there's the kernel of a good team, and nothing that a couple of signings, a new manager, new owners and a bit of morale couldn't fix.

'bout now Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Best radio headline of the week."Sam Allardyce has been sacked by Blackburn rovers, weeks after the club was bought by an Indian chicken company"Something very Family Guy about that.

Annasfield Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Allardyce has been given the elbow. Wonder if he'll apply for that Real job he reckons he'd be so good at.

murphy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I thought Blackburn would stick with him until the end of the season as it would be the safest way for the new owners guaranteeing staying up and protecting their investment. Today they were 10th favourites to get relegated with a favourable run of games coming up, think the odds on them getting relegated will drop. Now thinking of owners who would be keen to protect their investment and who need to see a bit more fight in their team...Gold and Sullivan? I hate Allardyce football by the way.

SeanMacGabhann Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Chalk another one up to Nani. If last season's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford was a bad refelection on teh balance of play, Arsenal can have no complaints about last night.

Sandperson Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 That's a tricky game over and a good result for us, obviously. It was a good game all-in-all, with plenty of action. What Ronney was thinking about with this Jonny Wilkinson run-up I'll never know.Narnia, it wasn't just the pitch but those pesky defenders too!

SeanMacGabhann Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Man Utd adopted a relatively defensive formation, guessing Arsenal would huff and puff to no great effect, and that Man Utd could then score on a breakQuality was largely absent although Nani was excellent, Anderson not far behnd and the young pole in the Arsenal goal looks a good prospectRooney missed spectacularly from the penalty spotDon?t think I missed much else of interest Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/238/#findComment-486792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnia Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 My use of the word 'objective' was meant to be taken with a pinch of salt, Sean. If that report comes along you will recognise it!

murphy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 West Ham giving "serious consideration" to replacing Grant with Allardyce - from the Guardian Allardyce to West HamIf the option was as simple as stay up with Allardyce or get relegated which choice would you West Ham fans make?

Mick Mac Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 There are a lot of football snobs around who don't like the Allardyce style of play, and it would certainly not sit well with west ham and their history, but he might get the job done. Personally I think calling Allardyce's style backward etc is just a current state of mind given the attractions of Barcelona and Spain, but football goes in cycles and people will tire of the passing possession game if they don't achieve results. At the end of the day, all teams can adopt a more graceful style of play, but there can only be a few winning teams and the also rans have to play to their strengths. Its interesting that the Blackburn captain was very disappointed to see big Sam go, and I feel he gets a bad press.

mockney piers Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I don't think it's snobbish to value style over results.If it was all about the success then West Ham wouldn't have any fans at all let's face.This goes against the DNA of the club and would be a bad idea.I for one would honestly prefer to go down than have Allardyce in charge.

Maybe he could do a job for Celtic, not pretty but effective.
