Karren Brady, chief executive of Allardyce's former club West Ham, said she is "both saddened and disappointed" by the developments. "This is a man who spent his whole life trying to get that job, and got it in his 60s. What a great shame if he loses that job through non-footballing reasons," she told Radio 1 Newsbeat (Source: BBC Football) What they forgot to add is Ms Brady was frotting herself raw under the table as she uttered these words.
yeah that bit was pretty distasteful but to comment on the Euro farce i have no problem with. TBH really not sure i care anymore as just as with most sectors of society these days i expect no morals from the people at the top who just seem bothered about skimming as much cash as they can however they can.
I thought that he was rather like most modern politicians, in that he said a lot, but little of it had meaning. He doesn't want to discuss his tactics and system publicly, so he just played the game for a while and turned the charm on. He's fairly charismatic, but I didn't feel like I learned anything about either him or his team, which is what he was going for, I'm sure. I didn't think that it was particularly appropriate for the match in question or necessary in general, though. It distracted from the game a bit, which is unfair to Burnley and Watford, though their first half was ****, so perhaps that wasn't a bad thing? We've got more than enough Anfield pundits without him, though. They're bloody everywhere.
Absolutely true. He's done what is now common practice. The fact he's England manager just makes it problematic. Most people at the top of their field got there for being an arsehole. Sad but true. No big deal all this imo. He's simply doing what people do. I can't say I'm bothered either way tbh.
His friends are going to say it was a conspiracy...but those with open minds know that he hanged himself overwhelming evidence, sorry Sam you are a gooner.
If you're so determined to learn his tricks of the trade he has some amazing documentaries on YouTube I'd recommend. He was on MNF for entertainment not his life story!
I think that I get what he's trying to do already, to be honest. We'll see whether he's able to maintain it for the whole season, as it seems quite draining. A lot of flagging in second halves, from what I've seen. Quite a few games are already won by then, admittedly.
I get the feeling that I would quite like Klopp, but I cannot even begin to contemplate that until 'Pool have sacked him.
We score most of our goals in the second half! Admittedly if we had midweek games it would become a bit more of a problem, but these guys are proper athletes. They should easily be able to hammer it out once (or twice) a week. Top 4 target. Very achievable
Most of your goals in the second half? Are you sure? Against Hull's ten men, maybe. Overall? I'd have to check. We'll see how it works over the campaign. Top 4? Wouldn't surprise me. Could be hard to call this season, though. Lots of teams in it.
We were 2-0 up against Hull before they carried on the game with 10 men, 3 scored in the 1st half 2 in the 2nd, 3 of the 5 when they were 'playing' with 10 men.
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, who came on as a second-half substitute in that match, refused to be drawn on Allardyce's future. "It is not even in my mind, I'm all about here [Arsenal]," said the 27-year-old. (Source: BBC Football) What the hell were they asking Walnut for? He wouldn't know his arsehole from his elbow! Talk about random sound-bites!
