It's a difficult job for Sam Allardyce ,however West Brom survived once after being bottom at Christmas. Lightening striking twice???. Other clubs that did it are Sunderland and Leicester.
sheff utd all but dead. have some fight though. Fulham are poor so when the fight wears off Parker will show his true colours and cause war. burnley are rubbish really. Newcastle are not great. Brighton cannot score. give allardyce a few quid to pay a few old stagers to come in for a quick pay day and he could turn a trick there.
He's one of a handful of managers who can rescue a club from the drop without ever seriously bothering the top half of the table.
Off topic rant: I never trusted Fireman Sam. It's a bit weird that every single person in one small village managed to catch their house on fire at least once? And why did they need four or five full time firemen for a village of under 50 people? I think Fireman Sam secretly started all the fires to justify an enormous fire department for such a small village. I have a similar theory about Midsummer Murders. Barnaby's wife seemed to know and be actively involved with at least half the murder victims. I'm pretty sure she's really the secret mass murderer and goes round framing murders to keep her husband in a job. Seriously how is it she is involved with everyone getting murdered?
same for murder she wrote. Jessica fletcher has murders following her round the globe and that small little Town had more than new York. its impossible that she was just an innocent bystander.
J J Okocha already hanged is boots. Big Sam will look for free agents in January to strengthen the team. Hope he can keep the sinking ship.afloat.
now I know what tiny tim felt on Christmas day. merry Christmas everyone. yeah, can't wait for milner to get back in.
Accordinging to that chart Leicester & Southampton have a great points per xg though in Leicesters case that will be heavily skewes by all the pens .
Team had a good week off, so I assume Henderson, Gini and Jones in the middle and the expected at the back and up top. Some rotation for Newcastle game a few days later and back to full strength for Southampton.
