6.

Almost feel sorry for them.

[Baddar]

Almost.

[Ant]

Sam Allardyce is the 13th most highest paid manager in world football.

[Jimmy]

Only the best teams lose 6-0 to Man City

[Crybaby Bunting]

The delicious part of this win is that they've won by such a margin that they can afford to lose 2-1 away.

[Colly]

Or 5-0.

[Szumi]

West Ham should sack Fat Sam if they want to save their season - the players look like they have no faith in him at all. But this is West Ham we're talking about, so...

[Rafael]

lol West Ham

[Blue Rosler]

The only people the West Ham squad have confidence in are themselves, and 99% of the time it is misplaced. They're a bunch of self-important twats.

West Ham's best bet is to get Steve Clarke in on a short term deal, try and boost the squad with loan signings, and hope there's three worse teams than us come May. We'd also be best off not having the Olympic Stadium, as it's deals like that which have Gold & Sullivan convinced West Ham are a team that's competing for European trophies.

[Ant]

What makes it worse is Sullivan still insists on wearing his Boris Yeltsin style hat and coat ensemble to games.

[Lineker]

West Ham can't afford to pay Big Sam off if they sack him. They are stuck with him, and by proxy, stuffed.

Wemberlee, lads?

[METALMAN]

Big Sam is a bit annoying (though I still love him) but I think he knows what he's doing. I think if they get a few players back to fitness they'll be fine.

[King Ellis]

Wemberlee, lads?

Now now, you know what they say about counting your chickens!

You can only play the percentages for so long, think its finally caught up with him.

[METALMAN]

What does playing the percentages even mean? And why is it time limited?

[Colly]

It means you play shit football kicking long balls up top and hoping for the best. It's not time limited, but on balance of probability you can't stay lower midtable forever.

[METALMAN]

But in doing so he is playing to,the strengths of his team which actually increases the probability of them staying up. :/

I already witnessed first hand what a cupset can do.

Last year at Wemberlee, lads?

[Colly]

Yeah, but his team is shit and he's missing a big lump to kick balls at, so that's only increasing that probability from 'you're going down Sam' to 'seriously, you're probably going down Sam'. It's a tactic that got him 7th once (was it 7th?) and he's got jobs based solely on that ever since.
