Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Allardyce had nothing to do with the West Ham game. He wasn't even announced till the day after it and had barely spoken to anyone at the club and only watched the game from directors box. You say we were 2 points above the relegation zone before playing West Ham so that makes it maybe 5 points ahead after that result. We are only 7 points ahead of it now so forgive me for not getting too excited about it. BTW, we have recently conceded 9 goals again via Spurs and Arsenal as i recall.
The comparison quoted below makes interesting reading.
Never said he had anything to do with the West Ham game. I said we relegation candidates before that game.
And conceding 9 against Spurs and Arsenal away is a lot different that getting turned over at home to a no mark Italian side and Southampton who hadn't scored a goal for an age.
And that does make interesting reading. It's says that Koeman spent £200million and couldn't get his team to perform. And Sam isn't getting Koeman's team to perform...but one sits 10th.
