Sam Allardyce says West Ham will give everything to upset Manchester City on Sunday and deliver the title to "neutrals' choice" Liverpool. Allardyce and his players are now all that stand between City and a second Premier League in three years, and a point at the Etihad will be good enough barring a 13-goal victory for Liverpool over Newcastle. The omens are good for Manuel Pellegrini's side - in three previous meetings with West Ham this season they have won three times and scored 12 goals - but Allardyce has a personal motive for spoiling City's title party. He said: "From a neutral's point of view I think everybody would like to see Liverpool win it, and from a personal point of view I'd like to see Steven Gerrard win it. "It's the last thing for him which he hasn't quite achieved at Liverpool. He's been a one club man all his life. Obviously they've let it slip out of their hands. They had it to take, but they've now left it in the hands of Manchester City. "We all know Man City in full cry are very difficult to play against. We've got to go out there and give a fantastic performance to stop them trying to grasp the title on that day. "Of course that will be hugely difficult - this is the best team at home in the league. They've only lost once, against Chelsea, their goal record is fantastic and they've got great, great players. "So every player on top of his form, every player can go out and give everything they've got from the basis we're already in the Premier League next season. "Let's try and spoil Manchester City's party." http://www1.skysports.com/football/...citys-party-and-give-steven-gerrard-the-title -------------- Anyway, good to hear . We never heard any of this bullish stuff from Villa Maybe Sam isnt as bad as i thought he was
Only think Allardyce has to worry about is a performance that won't get him the sack. Should they get rolled over as we expect, I see him being replaced in the summer, as he is on the verge of it anyway.
Visiting hours at McTavish retirement home end at 6pm....gives the nurses time to change his nappy and give him his antipsychotic meds....
If he manages to beat City (and we beat Newcastle) then I wont ever again say a bad word against his style of football
if allardyce parks the bus and puts the handbrake on for the whole game then anything can happen in the last 10 minutes. All we can do is make sure we beat Newcastle
Even a VERY poor Villa side broke a couple of times only for someone to panic and blast 15 yards wide.
it took City a while (over an hour?) to break villa down (after the first goal the collapse was inevitable) and the soaking pitch didnt help. West Ham can last longer, especially with their "19th century" football! Come on you hammers!
Fat Sam will try to play open attacking football to appease the fans, then they'll get smashed 6-0 and he'll turn around say I told you so and **** us over
Are we likely to see it on Sunday? Considering how his time went at Liverpool I wouldn't be surprised if he's in Kompany's back pocket all day. I mean like I can hardly see him exerting that much effort in a bid to impress himself upon any members of Liverpool FC. That said, the slate will be wiped clean if he does somehow deliver the goods. Now come on you big donkey, you can do it!
About time he hit's a drought against them then. I think Hodgson should have a word and tell him if he scores a couple of goals then he'll be on the plane to Brazil.
he can do a Mascherano he left in a bad way but still mentioned us when he didn't really need to, although how much was Carroll liked by the fans, i thought it was a so so. we know Carroll can cause problems to city, just hope he gets the service and he is as committed to score as he was when he slapped migs lol.
