allardyce loves talking himself up...

i remember quotes from a while back where he said he was one of the best at mind games, and another where he mentioned being a "tactical" manager...

i did have a chuckle...

and who can forget such classics as "to the untrained eye, it looks like villa were the better side", after we thrashed his team 4-0, had superior posession, passing percentages, chance creation, and chances taken stats in the game...

must be nice to live with such delusions...

as for his comments on wenger, tbh, he has a point there... as does owen coyle... wenger wasnt so critical of strong challenges when it was petit, vieira, bergkamp, keown, adams, dixon, winterburn, etc, gaining 90+ red cards while he was manager...

A conceit of that magnitude is actually somewhat endearing.

On paper it looks bad but just heard the interview and to be fair to him he did seem to have his tongue firmly in his cheek and was chuckling slightly.

The problem with Allardyce is that he has a pretty low IQ, and like most thick people he is too thick to work out that he is thick

I'm sure he's a lot cleverer than you give him credit for.

Saying that you could win the league with Real is a bit like saying you could make cheese on toast if you had some cheese and some toast.

i think that is sort of what he's saying,
 a bit like a average jockey saying he could be the champion jockey if he had the same rides as Tony McCoy

Whenever I see or hear 'Big Sam' I'll be forever reminded of Mike Bassett, England Manager.

He's funnier than the Big Sam on Twitter with comments like that!

Since discovering that Twitter, errr, page, or whatever they're called, I can't think of Big Sam in the same way.

There's no excuse for erectile dysfunction. If you see a fanny, gents, it's your duty to conquer it like a sleepy village. No prisoners.

Anyone who thinks Big Sam should get a shot at the England job should have seen their tactics against Fulham today.

Endless long punts into the box and Diouf assaulting Schwarzer every time, no attempt to get involved with actual football.

Short of getting the players to wear orthopaedic shoes, I can't think of anything which would set the national team back more than appointing Allardyce.

If fat Sam should be managing Real Madrid then I should win the Booker prize for this post.

Come on you lot everyone  would  have been impressed with tactics deployed  yesterday with up and over aimed for the penalty spot Diouf bumping the GK and ball in the back of the net from Samba.  I can see the San Siro and Bernabeau being  lit with excitement.
