Allardyce also bristled at the suggestion that he needed to win over the Hammers fans by playing attractive football - the so-called 'West Ham way'. "When did West Ham play the West Ham way?" he said. "It can't be the West Ham way if you get relegated, and the club's been up and down like a yo-yo [in recent years]. "I don't think the fans see that as playing the West Ham way. "The West Ham way is about winning football matches and the enjoyment of winning. "The fans are in the game to watch winning football, I'm in the game to play winning football and entertain the public, and that's what I do. "Everywhere I've been I entertain the public, irrespective of the perception from the media that Sam Allardyce plays long ball. "That is only a perception, but most of football is run on perception today." www.football365.com/news/21554/7000693/Big-Sam-Full-Of-Big-Hammers-Promotion-Talk |

He's going to upset a few of their fans with that very honest assessment
He does have a point though. How is "the right way" of playing football, a way that gets a team relegated? The right way is getting results. If you want to be entertained or see style being rewarded, go watch gymnastics or diving

On TalkSport when asked the question about the West Ham way he said "I would not be here if the West Ham way was the right way would I?"

Fucking hell, West Ham fans better brace themselves. That statement screams to me:
010011000111000111000011110000011111.
But where he's not talking about himself, I agree. Watching the different "styles" down the years defiantly makes you appreciate that point.
"The West Ham Way"- it's just bollocks. It'll be interesting to see the fans' reactions if they light up the championship playing with a team thats dedicated and direct.

Got to say that I'm really looking forward to the Championship next season. Not only to see how West Ham get on but to see how the other big clubs get on. It must be the strongest Championship line up ever.

I'm entertained when Stoke win, if we score a last minute winner it's exciting and brilliant and I don't care how it crosses the line. Our season was more exciting than West Ham's yet a large proportion of their deluded fans claim they'd rather be in their shoes than ours. It's utter bollocks created by teams who keep failing and under achieving as an excuse to teams who are smaller but more successful, excelling their ambitions.  |

Oulare's arse is some of the most beautiful football i've seen ;D
I don't get why people would rather watch their team play "Nice" football and lose DaftCunts.com

I love Allardyce. Wouldn't want him at Stoke though, unless we were in serious danger of going down and had no TP.

Big Sam is harmless. Although, maybe if he was armless he wouldn't be able to wank  |
