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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
