Gus should stick these sort of quotes on the dressing room wall for motivation.

It can only be money that convinced CMS to move to Brighton, small provincial club with a good young manager but zero chance of making it to the Premier League. He will realise his mistake, but it will be probably too late for a player of his age. Brighton will need to do more than sign one player to survive in the Championship regardless of how good their stadium is. It still can only hold 23,000, not that Brighton will get anywhere near that.

I agree, Sam obviously knows f*** all about life outside the Premiership. He better get used to it though coz if he stays at West Ham it'll be at least a couple of years before he sees the Premiership again.

What a disrespectful tosser. Of course we don't play good football, how could we? We're only Brighton...what a dick. The comments on that page also show some West Ham fans to be as deluded

I shouldn't let it worry me, but comments like that piss me off.

Good retort from BHAExpress though, even without a threat to engage in carnal relations with his mother.

I hate his football, but up until now, I had always thought he had some good interviews and knew his football inside out. Well he's blown that out of the water. I now think that you are right, he is a twat after all.

is there a link to audio anywhere?

The headline picture turned into the radio feature after about 10sec but doesn't seem to be doing it. To be honest everything he said reg Brighton is on the page.
Just find it hard to believe this guy is supposed to be professional at what he does and yet he shots his mouths off, clearly with no research into what he is talking about.

 

[tubaman]

Did you see his interview on BBC sport? It reminded me of one of those hostage videos.

BBC Sport - Football - Sam Allardyce targets West Ham Premier League return

I think his comments have given us a clue as to why CMS chose not to join them. CMS said one of his reasons for choosing Brighton was Gus's warmth.
You never see Gus being disrespectful towards other teams, and as for some of the WH fans, I think they will view anything less than winning the league a failure so he'd be on a hiding to nothing playing for them. WestHam = Arrogant manager + ungrateful fans. Brighton = Nice manager + fans that will make him feel welcome.
Not that bovvered by his comments though as I believe he's slowly digging his own grave.

Southampton are just Dagenham and Redbridge with Ricky Lambery

BTW I meant to say SOME of their fans would be ungrateful not ALL! There are some nice WH fans out there I'm sure!

No Adkins will always be no.1 w***er.
The bitter loser wouldn't allow a guard of honour for us. Never forget that. Championes.
Even normally bad losers Fergie & shop-steward Neville allowed a guard of honour one year when arch-rivals Chelsea visited OT after winning the PL.

Adkins has zero class, and Saints will sack him within 18 months.
