I was seriously contemplating if West Ham was drunk yesterday.

Is there some unwritten rule that one claret colored team per season has to underperform?

They have been drunk all season, the defending, Zaza and the stadium have all been woeful. A home stadium is supposed to be a fortress and upton park was that. Payet is daydreaming until the transfer window reopens

The only guy who's really trying is Noble. Which is not surprising considering he's Mr West Ham

Sam Allardyce has left his post as England manager by mutual agreement with the Football Association after one match and 67 days in charge.

It follows a newspaper investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.

Allardyce, 61, is also alleged to have used his role to negotiate a deal worth £400,000 to represent a Far East firm.

An FA statement said Allardyce's conduct "was inappropriate" and Gareth Southgate will take temporary charge.

"He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised," the FA said.

"This is not a decision that was taken lightly but the FA's priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football.

"The manager of the England men's senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times."

Allardyce succeeded Roy Hodgson in July following England's disastrous performance at Euro 2016 in France and becomes the national side's shortest-serving full-time manager.

Guidolin got the axe at Swansea. Replaced by former US international manager Bob Bradley.

Sure Swans had a rough start but Guidolin was going to get dropped one way or another since the new owners did not want him in the first place.

Is this the same owners that sacked Gary monk (who knew the club inside out) way to soon?

No. These are the brand new owners who took control of the club in July I believe.

He was unlucky in his last few matches, but I'm not surprised. Sacking Monk was a terrible decision in the first place.

Where has Bradley managed before?

Yeah your right, Americans looking after their own. Only six games in and they sack a guy who took them to 12th. Yanks no fuck all about footie
Look what happened to Villa under American ownership. I have no problem with American ownership. But I'd expect some commitment outside of capital.

@seabs @Gav in da BPL! @Aphex Twin the boys that know anything about the championship.

Swedish defender Pontus Jansson has been in Leeds for just a month and he already has a chant from the crowd. And it is a doozy.

I used to know about the championship a fair bit but not any more really. Is the chant googable?

Pontus Jansson's magic, he wears a magic hat. And if you throw a brick at him, HE'LL HEAD THAT FUCKER BACK!"
