I'm sorry but this really bugs me. If you're too lazy to type 'Sam Allardyce' or 'Allardyce' then the correct abbreviation for OUR manager is SA. When you consider Sam has come here to do his best, hasn't said anything against the fans and has just had arguably the best transfer window and is the best chance of us staying up, I'm not sure why some are feeling the need to label him BFS aka Big Fat Sam. This is an absurd way to treat any member of our team. It's not like we got rid of a fan favourite in Pardew, most people wanted him gone. It's also not like Allardyce has ever been a Brighton fan or slated our club/fans in the past. Just because some of you lived in fantasy land and wanted Mourinho to step down from United to lead us to a 6th placed finish, now is the time to support the man we got in, the man who has never been relegated. The man who has now got only our second clean sheet of the season. We should back every one at our club and give everyone a second chance now the window has closed including Townsend etc. Good luck SA!

Good words and as part of this let's stop harping back to the AP mistakes of which granted there were many as it has nothing to do with the future. New manager, line in the sand, first win last night, move on......
Bring back Brolin |

I don't think I am anywhere near as wound up by it as you sound, but I do sort of agree. I've not been able to bring myself to call him Fat Sam or abbreviate to BFS etc. I did used to call him Meatloaf before he joined us, but I am rather fond of Meatloaf so it's hardly a dis.

While were getting things off our chest will people stop saying players 'put in a shift' Coal miners ,Labourers ,seamstresses, people who graft all day for a pittance and even those who earn a few bob 'put in a shift ' Footballers are playing a game ,they may work hard at it for an hour and a half but trust me , most of them wouldn't know what a shift is let alone put one in

Agree, it’s needless and just unfunny. But then most of our fans thought calling Neil Warnock ‘Colin’ was top anagram banter, so what do you expect. Edited by Beastie (01 Feb 2017 10.41am)

So, no Big Fat Sam's Red and Blue Army then? Pity as it had a certain ring to it. If people referred to him as Fat Sam or Big Fat Sam before be joined us, it would be a bit hypocritical to change just because he manages Palace. Not to his face, obviously, that would be daft.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

What's wrong with just "Sam"?
