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.

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!

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 break


Quality was largely absent although Nani was excellent, Anderson not far behnd and the young pole in the Arsenal goal looks a good prospect


Rooney missed spectacularly from the penalty spot


Don?t think I missed much else of interest

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.

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.

Well said mate, couldn't agree more. Maybe he could do a job for Celtic, not pretty but effective.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
