A work argument around who is the least likeable. It's Poyet for me but I must admit Sam is gaining fast. He's becoming almost Wengerlike with his excuses for not winning at home!
TBH I hope Brighton remain in the top 6, win the play offs, Have their massive 50 out of the 60 minutes on the season's first Football Focus and then go the season winning only 15 points by the end and are relegated in embarrasing style. Prior to that Poyet will have jumped ship to replace someone at a top 8 club, fail miserably and never be heard of in football circles (at least in this country) ever again. Not going to complain about Big Sam. Not worth it, he will be in a Marbella retirement home within a couple of years moaning that the latest container full import of Wrigley's has been delayed.
Watching them on the sidelines and what they have to say after a match Sam for me by a mile... I know it is hard when you have Warnock in charge of your club to criticise another manager when it comes to the popularity stakes but this season my distaste for Sam has grown and grown.
Big Sam comes up with some rubbish at times,but Gus Poyet is on another level... Comparing the way saints play to the style of play of Dag & Redbridge is just crazy.He thinks he knows it all,but he knows nothing and he needs to pronounce his t's...
West Ham seem confused by the concept of a three horse race, they've been in some kind of malaise at home since Reading began to show. And it just goes to show Adkins with his clear keep his feet on the ground mantras and professional approach aids the cause, rather than BFS indulging himself on fan-like emotions and loosing sight of it amidst their tricky patch. Initially I did enjoy with BFS comments about fans strangely bemoaning the loss of the "West Ham Way"with his appointment ...him saying something like, "They haven't played great football for years, and in the last few years the only West Ham Way has been losing, that why we're in this division" But that's certainly come back to bite him, which I've noticed whilst last night enjoying browsing KUMB
To be fair if it weren't for the grace, humility and abnormal (for this game, these days) incredible joy that Adkins has for the game, both Sam and Poyet would just be normal and we wouldn't bat an eyelid We have been shown the future and it makes the past look very poor.
Big Sam's interview after the game last night was halarious. Reporter - 'Sam was this a game you could have won or lost in the final stages.' Big Sam - ' Well Sam Baldock could have won it with the last header of the game, so we could have won it not them. Because that was the final stages. (Erm Sam the header went about 3ft over the cross bar. Boro had a shot hit the bar and one cleared off line 2 mins before that.) Both of them moan just as much as the other.
Poyet by a country mile. Think dislike of Poyet is pretty exclusive to Saints fans. No one I know can understand it.
Overall, I dislike Poyet the most, but Fat-Mouth Sam is certainly pushing hard for top spot of recent. His comments over the Nolan sending off ealier this year were beyond all reason. I should add that I am not a fan of Warnock either; was surprised to see him 'eat humble pie' after yesterday - was fully expecting to blame the referee, assistants, boot-boy, his mother-in-law, his dead cat and not his tactics or his players...
Poyet pretty much sealed it with his ungracious comments last season. Fat Sam is a John Prescott type clown figure. Warnock would be in with a shout but I find his entertainment value weirdly endears him to me.
Poyet for for me too. BSA is a tad irritating, if not for the fact that it seems compulsary to add the pre fix BIG every time he is referred to! His interviews are quite boring, heavy on cliche (I know, not uncommon in the football world) and at the moment he is struggling to put a decent team out with an expensive squad. He is possibly overrated? Poyet in contrast, is snidy and petulant, and lets face it, a bit of a gob ****e. He showed his true colours when encountering pressure situations, i.e. Saints last season. I too feel that he will jump ship ASAP. This may depend on whether they get promoted I would imagine.
Adkins made a throwaway remark about Brighton's need to keep up with Saints (very unlike him), then Poyet got his knickers in a twist. Having said that I saw a little piece about him on TV and he seemed quite a nice guy, so I'm going for Sam Allardyce because he makes his bulldog-like face even more repulsive by chewing all the time. Nothing to do with football, I know, but slobbering is so unattractive. I bet Adkins only eats with silver service.
This! Everyone think's he's a ****ing genius, and Ian Holloway, everyone round here, Bristol, thinks he's a hero cause he used to play for Rovers and he has an awful accent.
I bet he eats with some modest humble down to earth knifes ad forks. english of course with 'Sheffield Steel' emblazoned on one side Very much doubt he goes home and acts any differently to his 'on screen' persona. Sam is more likely to be eating from silver with 'Harrods' branding and plates from Fortnum & Mason. A great comparison from above poster to Prescott. The working clas hero that does not live like the 'class' he so proudly boasts he is
