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.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
