Sam spot on, watching Mourinho get a taste of his defensive, walls up medicine is funny. He looked so frustrated. Mourinho might always be at clubs who have the money for a Ronaldo, Hazard, or whoever but boy does he play some negative stuff at times.
His response to Mourinho's rant couldn't have been more succinct.
"I don't give a shite."
Brilliant. Though he's clearly a bell end.

Sack big Sam and bring in.......who's gonna keep you up
He clearly gave a shite, I've never seen the man more delighted at anything he's ever done in football.
Big Sam is a character and a good mate of Fergie's. Was funny to see Jose get a dose of his own medicine the other day and Sam post match was priceless. We need characters like him in a game populated by dour scotsmen and continental managers with poor eyesight or ibig mouths.fecking idiot
How can you blame someone for getting a difficult decision right?!
Chatting more shit on SS now. No way the lino could have seen his head was offside apparently
Big loveable Sam.
Not surprised he's getting mad, must feel like they should have gotten the 3 pts let alone a draw. Ultimately he should blame his players for not keeping their cool in possession during the middle portion of the 2nd half. They figured out how to use the extra man advantage too late.
I'm a big fan of Big Sam otherwise, think he's an extremely underrated manager and has his team playing attractive football at times (just not today).

The fat prick always starts whinging about the ref after games at Old Trafford.
In real time I thought the offside call was close, but the freeze frames make it clear the ref's got it right.
Sam was bellyaching before the game on behalf of Moyes. He probably wanted to get a result, as much to undermine Van Gaal as for West Ham. His bleating makes the win even sweeter...

Apart from Brenton is there a bigger twat that manages in the league than fat Sam?
Him and Nolan moaning about the linesman being unfit, despite getting the call absolutely spot on
Warnock.
Just fill this fat cnut with his own crap a and piss off. Nolan was offside and that was all they did when we went down to ten men. So much for their pretty football. They lumped it.
Our manager might have said similar things had a decision been that close but his and Nolan's comments were really poor. They might feel unlucky and hard done by by the call but at the end of the day it was the right call and in hindsight they shouldn't feel screwed over by the linesman. They have no business criticising the linesman for that call no matter how difficult it was to make in the first place.
Has Sam Allardyce ever lost a game that wasn't apparently entirely the official's fault?
I don't understand why so many incredibly thick people get put in charge of running multi million pound football clubs. I mean, I get that footballers can be thick, but if you look at all the good football managers, none of them are thick at all, yet clubs always make thick people their managers.

Good shout.
I've gota feeling it was big Sam who came out with the same logic a season or two back... It goes:
The linesman wasn't in position to get such a close call right, and only got it right by luck, so he should have got it wrong. Getting it wrong would have been the correct call.

How did SAF become friends with such a clueless fat clown? Big Sam never misses an opportunity to have a moan after playing us
So hang on. Big Sam and Kevin Nolan aren't disputing that Nolan was offside, but the linesman's ability to make the decision, and therefore shouldn't have waved, despite the decision being the right one? Mental.
Also, did Big Sam actually say "dropped a massive bollock"??

Big Sam's such a twat. Bemoaning the linesman for making a brilliant call
Now I've fecking seen/heard it all.
Now I've fecking seen/heard it all.
So he accepts that he was offside, but that the lino shouldn't make correct decisions? Bizzare
He's blagging a living. He's an utter shite manager and a complete knobhead to boot.

Admitting the referees made the right call and still moaning about it - has there ever been a clearer case of undermining the referees' authority? Of course, he won't get a suspension or anything. When has an opposition manager actually ever gotten a slap on the wrist for comments following a game at OT?
So let me summarise Fat Sam's position, just so I'm completely clear on this......
Fat Sam is upset because he doesn't see how it's humanly possible to spot an offside of that kind, despite the fact that the player is, indeed offside, therefore supporting the linesman's decision to rule the goal disallowed.
Really?

Let me see if I understand this. Allardyce and Nolan criticising the linesman for making a tight decision against them? United fans laughing at them for complaining?
It's like the week after the Leicester game has just been erased from everyone's memory.

Is this supposed to make sense? You're comparing a demonstrably, indisputably 100% correct offside decision to a penalty decision which, while they can never be purely objective in the way an offside can, was widely judged to be extremely harsh and probably wrong by all observers (other than Leicester fans)?
You honestly can't see what's funny about Big Sam complaining about a linesman getting a call right?
I didn't mention the penalty decision. I could just as easily have been talking about all the other complaining (first goal, 4th goal, 5th goal).
We were unhappy about the ref making the wrong decision against us, but you won't find anyone complaining about correct decisions here.
He's pretty much saying that it was such a difficult decision, that the linesman should have got it wrong, and the fact that he got it right means he made a mistake? Ridiculous logic.
He's a good manager. Don't know why people hate him so much.
Wow. Just wow.
No. United fans are laughing because both Big Sam and Nolan are both aware that Nolan WAS offside and the decision was right, but are both implying that the linesman shouldn't have possessed the "super human" ability to spot it, so it should have been allowed, even though the decision was the right one.
Players/managers moan about decisions all the time. It's quite a rarity that a player or a manager disputes the ability of the official to actually make right decision.
If it had been a disallowed goal for us, they would have been patting the linesman and ref on the back. They both did their jobs, get over it Sam.
I fail to see any kind of 'logic' in what you've said.
