COYI....A tough match no
COYI....A tough match no doubt but we do have the quality as you fully well know, fingers crossed we perform.
Allardyce's pre-recorded interview on BT was a laugh a minute, the fella is either taking the piss or he is seriously deluded....He should be pitied tbh, a monster ego!
Glad to see Lanzini is in as
Glad to see Lanzini is in as long as he is ready. That way Sunderland won't be so effective by targeting Payet. On the minus side I'd rather see obiang in in case we start slowly yet again. Bilic has set his team up to really have a go at them. Coyi
At the back of my mind I hope
At the back of my mind I hope that Payet or Lanzini don't get clumped and get injured Red - Allardyce likes physicality and he'll try to nullify our flair players with whatever means he can.....After all as we fully well know, he's no stranger to winning ugly is he?
Good line up starting
Good line up starting. It will be a bitter return to the Boleyn for Big Sam, we will win. COYI

We need ..
An early Goal or at least to Score first that should scupper Allerdyce's Tactics .. In the meantime it's the usual sluggish start !

Job done
There are no easy games in this division
Got away
with that one.
Well done boys!
Well thank f*ck for that, bloody hard game that!
We where bloody
lucky to get away with that, I don't understand how we can play fantastic against the top teams but we can't get out of first gear with the bottom teams. The attitude has to change or we will run out of luck sooner or later.
Good first half, bad in the second half.
Good first half, bad in the second half. We have left to them too much space. Adrian man of the match for me, with that foot parade saved the result
We were poor today no doubt
We were poor today no doubt but I can't help but laugh at the massive irony of winning ugly AGAINST Allardyce...Heh.

Lol .. True .. We were *iss Poor most the Game but a Win is a Win as the Football Dinosaur Allardyce would say !
Typical BFS game
For me, this match was exactly what I expected. To give Sam a little credit -- he's in a relegation battle (again) and he's playing a percentage game (as always). But I knew it was going to be 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, or at the outside 0-1. It was like the last three seasons all over again, only looking at it from the outside. Boring. Anti-football. High balls into the box. Give away a lot of possession but get 10 men behind the ball. All I can say is that I'm glad of the result. It's a pity Noble, Antonio (2nd shot) and Carroll didn't all score. But 1-0 and 3 points against a team that beat Manure their last time out is not too bad. Roll on West Ham United. My, but Tottenham will be more difficult than this.
Not a good game
but a win nevertheless. Great goal by Antonio he is going to be a great player, lets hope we can keep him. Very good strike by Noble, deserved a goal. Bit worried about Byram, too many yellow cards he could easily give away a penalty , too reckless, I know he is young and should only get better. Adrian as good as ever, its like having 12 men and Carol looked good when he came on. Great result. I predicted 9 points for Feb and we got 7 PLEASED WITH THAT
Performance not all that,but
Performance not all that,but I just knew Allardyce would stifle the game with his tactics.A few games like that a season I can hack ,so long as Westham get the 3 points.Looking forward to the Spurs game now,Bilic is a shrewd cookie and he will know the best side to put out against a Pochettino side that are becoming genuine title contenders.I think this will be the most difficult game of the season for Westham,but if Westham can put in a top performance like we have seen a number of times this season there are points to be had.Has to be the biggest game of the season,there is expectation from both sides,a game that will gauge how far Bilic has brought this team this season,against one of the in form sides,I go for a draw.
