Sam Allardyce

[Zeke]

Cancelling the Xmas party is a master stroke by Sam. If players don't turn up in the next few games he will know instantly who the 'bad apples' are and then ship them out in January.

If you not gonna turn up and play because he cancelled a free piss up then I want those players as far away from this club as possible.

Well done Sam

Christmas pud and turkey play no part in Dr Allardyce's school of science. Despite his laid-back persona he's an obsessive about fitness and diet, stats, algorithms etc. I've just read his book. Very good.

Aye mate. His physique screams quinoa and kale.

Looks in fine fettle for a 63 year old. Plus he doesn't actually need to run around for 90 minutes 1-2 times a week but his players do.

He did cos teeth kept smirking at him and Sammy Lee.

Excellent work Sam, in for a couple of weeks and right under their skin. Keep it up tonight with the FSW.

It's not even cancelled either, he's just postponed it until that bit of January when the games thin out a bit and it's concinient.

Too much work to be done on our performances at the moment instead of pratting around with tinsel or vomiting over Bathroom attendants

Newcastle & Swansea = 6 points

Swansea is a team we struggle with; we have not beaten them once in the last 3 seasons (4 draws, 2 losses).

i think it is good he has delayed the party. He is right the squad needs no distractions now. schedule is hectic now he needs to sue every day to his advantage. He has got off to a good start few more wins and we can start looking up.

Simeone is defo an argentine Tony Pulis.

Deffo a wind up. Nothing can be this far wrong.

Cancelling the Christmas party?

Let's hope the players don't sulk over it

You never know with our lot. Mentally fragile at the best of times

I just hope they don't 'down tools' in reaction to not getting a Christmas party. It would not surprise me if they did.

I bet Chairmen of Stoke and Swansea and West Brom are now nervously looking through their roladex looking under S for survival specialists and obviously Sam or B for Big Sam. I think it was a good move to get him in earlier before the annual call from relegation threatened teams who now have only Pulis to call on in their quest to safeguard the big PL bucks.

 

[Lanolin]

Think the Christmas party cancellation is one of those things that he'll either be lauded as a genius for or castigated for, depending on the results we get from now on. It's like when a new manager bans tomato sauce and fines people for being 5 seconds late and we get loads of articles about how they're ahead of the game and the little things all add up and make a more professional outfit, and then 6 months later the same journos are saying the manager's lost the dressing room because he's a petty tyrant who's made all the players hate him because of unnecessary rules.

The only thing I would say is the January fixture list looks a bit dodgy to be promising them a party. If they were going out on the back of recent results most fans would be quite happy, but if a load of stories surface of them being out enjoying themselves after we've lost to United, Liverpool and Spurs it'll be a different story.

Mad how he's in better shape than Unsworth and Koeman.
