Not my words but 1 Samuel Allardyce,one of the most detestable creatures involved in football in my humble opinion.
West Ham and fat sam are well suited to each other,mutually loathsome to be honest,and both in the league that should convey their talents at the appropriate level.
Whenever Bolton came or we went to Bolton,,the fat walrus always turned the match into some form of vanity excersise related to whether he was always overlooked in terms of international jobs and how Arsene got lucky with his job opportunity and poor sam had to scrape around in the lower leagues ,demonstrating his talents .
His teams defintely represented the personality of the man in charge,big hoofed,kick and rush and defintely ugly,,with ugly players,,,kevin davies,abdullah faye,ivan"the ghoul" campo.
it might seem like sour grapes if i wrote this after a bad result but with hindsight i have no agenda rather than my memories of games and results and the smarmy post match interviews fat sam used to give to the fawning SKY reporter who had to climb backwards out of sams fat arse .
"Sam that move for the kevin davies goal was amazing,,jussi jasskelainan really is superb at kicking the ball high into the sky for davies to voley in of his shoulder" fawns the SKY anchor
Big Sam"yes thats a move we practice day after day after day,we see no need for midfielders or forwards just big defenders and kevin davies,,,why dont i get the england job?
5 years later my opinion on what he spawned in the game was hopefully extinguished by the Barcelona perfomance in the champions league final against United.
It doesnt escape the fact for 5-10 years many kids throughout Ireland and England probably got pissed off watching or playing because they didnt fit into the sterotypical physical specimen that Fat Sam and his cronies believed in being the future and future winners of the game.
Football should be a game made up of styles and everybody is entitled to an opinion ,it just amuses me then when the style of Arsenal is demeaned.
Fast forward to the year 2011-2012,,Owen Coyle is the new man in charge at the reebok and has instilled his own brand of football up there,,very watchable and indeed not unlike a style very close to home,,,proving the players were pawns in SAMS vanity project the pivotal man in Coyles gameplan is none other than the despised Kevin Davies,,ask any Bolton supporter what style they would prefer to watch?
Come to think of it ask any Bolton player what style they would prefer to play?
The 2011-12 incaranation of Fat sams rabble is none other than Stoke and their circus act under Tony Pulis,,for KEVIN DAVIES,,see RORY DELAP,,a footballer more famous for his throw ins,than when the ball is at his feet.
A truly odious team,of odious characters,,summed up by the following anecdote heard 1 day at the "brittania stadium"
Rory Delap comes hobbling over to the bench late in the game and shouts"i gotta come off i think my hamstrings gone"
A voice from the bench shouts back "well its not your fuckin arm so stay where you are" sums them up
Oh yeah guess who was Big Sams assistant back in the early days ,,PHIL BROWN
