Theres 24 points to play for after the derby but those three points magically override them.

You do realise he's one of yours?
We lost the first game anyway, if they lose to us they're absolutely fucked.

Can't see any clamouring on either ........ in fact, I hardly know any of the posters, Mags most likely.
Didn't work with Hughton, Kinnear or Shearer when they went down.
Didn't work with Carver last season either.
In fact, it didn't even work with McClaren .......... they've slipped back 2 places from when he took over

Chill lads, its all cool and calm here in Exeter, we will still do them again. They have not become Barcelona overnight because McClaren has left. Their team is still shit and as Nev has already said, their dissaray against Bournemouth will only be compounded by any new ideas, like tracking back, tackling, marking men, world shattering stuff like that

If we win the derby I think they'll go down, but if they win it and get some feel good in them then I think we're fucked. We can hardly be bitter, we normally do exactly what they've done and it's saved us 3 or 4 times - we shouldn't even be involved in this but there we go.

Clearly they are trying out the SAFC model of survival
He will be getting enough money to incentive him to give it a good go!

So maybe most of us know it's irrelevant and only a mag pretending to be a mackem would bring it up.

Are you saying he's not a top manager? He's won trophies galore. You don't become the manager of Valencia, Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Napoli and Real Madrid by being average. Just accept they've appointed a good manager. He could easily still take them down but him being appointed will likely improve them.
Honestly I'm sure some on here would say that Ronaldo was finished if he signed for the Mags.
Replacing McLaren with Benitez will most likely improve them, so it's not good news!
Need to stop surrendering away from home first. Starting to potentially pick up draws that almost certainly would have been losses will help.

If they gan down he won't hang around to do a good job. Here's hoping.

Took them from the Championship to mid-table in the Premier league, and kept them there comfortably.
Have a look at West Ham's current side, how many Allardyce signings still play regularly? Cresswell, Reid, Kouyate, Collins, O'Brien, Valencia, Sakho, Carroll (when fit), Adrian. Barring Carroll's injury record, they're all good signings and at least 6 of them are nailed on starters when fit.

Not sure about that one mate, decent cup manager but league form somewhat chequered. Not sure how he'd fair with lesser players in a relegation scrap.

My West Ham supporting mate thinks he did, that said he doesn't buy into the West Ham way bollocks, reckons Allardyce is a solid manager but not one who will ever have a team pushing at the top but one that in time will have you hover around the middle of the table.
He is quite often slating his own fans for the way they treat Allardyce.
