We have experienced players and some of them played in the game when we last won the Premier League, but the situation is different, many of the team are different and we are playing different opposition”.
Sam Allardyce: Let’s spoil Manchester City’s party
Sam Allardyce knows his side have put in a fantastic performance this Sunday if they are to prevent Manchester City winning the title and hopes he can spoil Man City’s party. SA:” We’ve got to go out there and give a fantastic performance” he went continued to say “we’re in the Premier League next year, but let’s try and spoil Manchester City’s party”
Sam Allardyce has admitted that he wants to see Liverpool and Steven Gerrard lift the title, and only his team now stand between Manchester City and the Premier League title, Allardyce said “From a neutral point of view, everybody would like to see Liverpool win it. From a personal point of view I’d like to see Steven Gerrard win it”.
Allardyce believes that his Manchester City counter-part deserves ‘huge’ praise “Huge, I think. It’s his first season and I think that anybody arriving for their first season at a football club and to achieve what he’s achieved if he does win the Premier League and the Capital One Cup, means that they’ve done the double and there’s not a lot more you can ask”.
So two managers thoughts on the spectacle this weekend, which one will be celebrating come the final whistle.
