Don't forget a 100 % win record for the national team.
Megatherium Sam | Leaves West Brom in the Championship
- Thread starter R.N7

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
8 goals and counting in the past two games. Doesn't get the credit he deserves because he doesn't have the exotic looks and name.
They’d have to go on a mad run to stay up still. The numbers don’t look good.
If they survive, it would be the greatest escape in history.
They were 200-1 to survive with 9 games left in the season.

Leicester, villa, Wolves, Arsenal, liverpool, West Ham, Leeds
Not a chance they make up 8 points in 7 games from those fixtures.

Stranger things have happened!
I don’t know, it’s a crazy season and their tails are up. I could easily see them beat Leicester and Villa and then all of a sudden, there might be only two points in it.
Wolves have had a poor season, as have Arsenal. It will be a very interesting next few weeks if they can get 6 points out of those next three.
they need more than eleven points.
I might stick a few quid on them to stay up and totally doom them from the second the bet was placed.
Fixtures aren't that bad, or at least you can put a spin on it.
Leicester - lost 2 in a row
Villa - 1 win in 6
Wolves - 1 win 6 again, beaten them already this season
Arsenal - Mid-table team
Liverpool - Awful title defence, drew with them at Anfield
West Ham - Yeah, that's going to be hard
Leeds - Mid-table
Can't exactly expect them to do it though, and I wouldn't even if they played all of the bottom 7 in their last 7.

That's true but Newcastle have only lost 1 of their past 6 games. Their next 5 are tough and if they lose them all then who knows. But their last 2 is also against Fulham and Sheffield Utd. Tbh I think the relegation spots are set and the only race left in the prem is 3rd/4th and who gets the final europa league spot in 7th.
I don't know mate, I wouldn't put it past Fat Sam to actually do it.
They’ll beat Arsenal
Ok but they need to get 8 points more than what Newcastle get in the remaining 7 games. Newcastle play 2 of the bottom 3 in their last 2 games, and have lost just 1 of the past 6 games. If they get 4 points from the next 7 games that leaves West Brom needing to get 12/13 points depending on goal differential. Are they all of a sudden going to average almost 2 ppg when they play against 3rd, 4th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th? They had to beat Newcastle a month or so ago to truly stand a chance.
I hope he keeps West Brom up.
“All I can say is that I’m proud of never being relegated from the Premier League, it’s a tag I don’t want to lose. It would kill me if it were to happen, I’d be massively upset.”
The task was too big this time, bye Big Sam, glad it happened at the Emirates at least.

Should have resisted that urge to come back one last time.
I wonder will he stay on now and build one more team to get up and stay up?
I would like to see him do it. I think he has been underrated over the years. The team he built with Bolton were always fun to watch and he has saved clubs so many times on the brink. I bet Blackburn fans rue the day the board sacked him.

Someone told me today that he was given £4mil for coming in until the end of the season, with the offer of £10m if he kept them up. I reckon he'll survive the dent to his ego.
Will he manage them in the Championship?
Thats a lot of money, but he has lost the one true calling card that he had. I think he will be really disappointed.
Hes 66. Can get another job in the championship if he wanted no issue but is probably happy to start winding down.
High point of Arsenal's illustrious season.
Definitely is. We take our smiles where we can.
What a stupid tweet. With the wage bill and the squad Arsenal have, it is not some sort of achievement that they haven’t been relegated. Looking like possible relegation candidates at some point is an indictment of their manager and players, and a sign of how far they’ve fallen.
It’s also not something to celebrate that they managed to beat West Brom today either, whose wage bill is 1/5 that of Arsenal’s.
Embarrassing from the North London super club.
Don't know what Arsenal fans are crowing about, they've already been relegated from the Super League this season.
I suspect you're taking this a bit too seriously.
You're wrong, we can't be relegated for 10 or 15 years, we're the mighty Arsenal.
You sound like Schalke fans just last season...
There's a Mustafi/Kolasinac joke in there but i've used my daily allocation of fun. Back to the depressive mood reading fake rumors about CamavingaYou sound like Schalke fans just last season...
Haha you’re right, I am. Regardless of everything I said, Big Sam getting relegated is a good thing.
Ah so you will be playing in it next season then?

Leaving
Allardyce is a gutless twat. Goes to a team in the relegation zone seeking the glory for keeping them up and running a mile when they’re relegated.
Sammy Lee back to the shit?

Maybe he can finally step in alongside Guardiola to teach City some defence.

I thought the club statement was just:
“Sam Allardyce”
and that’s all. To be fair it says everything that needs to be said
Kane and Big Sam? Guaranteed quadruple.
"Lads, it's Allardyce"I thought the club statement was just:
