    Much as I like Big Sam, he mentioned that he's 66, and doesn't want to catch Covid. Not a smart move to take up the post in the middle of a pandemic if that's the case. Obviously a ploy of buying time by Big Sam the man.

    If it's a ploy I'd have to say that's really poor behaviour ...

    ... trying to gain an advantage by hoying in the pensioner card when loads his age have died.

    I'd lose a lot of respect if that was the case tbh.

    It pays to be a winner mate, professionals will go to extremes to win.

    Nah, that's not football mate.

    It's cheating.

    I suppose it's fine margins all round, after all, why call it a professional foul.

    Yeah but last time Mike Ashley was picking the mag team not Steve Bruce. Or that’s the way I got it as he’s the only one who copped the flak from their fans

    They've got some tough games left
    - but I wouldn't bet against big Sam doing the job. They look more capable of catching the Mags than Fulham.

    Dream team: Sam Allardyce, Karl Robinson and Robbie Keane
    - Sammy Lee is on jury service and not available.

    4 games left:
    Man City (A)
    Mags (H)
    West Ham (A)
    Spurs (H)

    He needs a big turnaround in form to beat the drop.

    Other than maybe West Ham, it's hard to see where he is getting points from there !

    If he does that's another £3m in the bank. Obscene really. Or £0.5m for failure. Nice work if you can get it.
    As for the appointment of Karl Robinson - that just makes me want them to go down.

    Big Sam. Top Bloke.

    Keane and Cloughy too.

    Yes coaching has changed......however, they all profess the same thing - the game is simple, and too many players over-think, rather than playing to their strengths.

    A good kick up the arse, or a cuddle, said Cloughy.

    I love honesty me..
