Okay, I was wrong about him for the last couple weeks of his reign at Gallowgate. Now I feel embarrassed to have backing him up on his last hard days at Newcastle.

Yesterday, Sam Allardyce has asking the anger of the Geordie fans by saying that the Magpies were not a big enough club for him and didn’t live up to his ambitions.

What is your ambition anyway Mr. Allardyce, changing Newcastle into the copycat of your old Boring Boston side? Everyone knows that the Geordies were the most passionate football supporters in the world and we have the highest ambitions like other fans are.

Now I thank Mike Ashley for the sacked of your useless football and your arrogant tiny mind. To speak the truth, you have been wasteing Newcastle’s precious half season and don’t see why you have a five-year plan to restore success to Newcastle.

United owner Mike Ashley dispensed his services after a series of disappointing games to his tenure and replaced him with the return of Kevin Keegan.

Couple of days ago he also has absolved himself of taking any blame for his failure with United.

“When you get sacked, reflection is a difficult scenario. The one thing you have to evaluate first and foremost is how much of it was your fault,” he said. “The usual rubbish that goes when someone like me is sacked from a club like Newcastle is that that job was too big for me. That’s just not true.”

The actual fact is, I now think that you are the one who is not “Big” enough for Newcastle United, your mind was still trapped in your last managerial job at Bolton, and you are only have “Big” staff.

“If I’m honest the reverse is probably true. Newcastle probably wasn’t big enough for me - it didn’t live up to my ambitions in the short time that I was there. And because it didn’t do that the club missed a chance to realise its own ambitions.”

This was a classic case of what happens when a team trying to play attacking football (but doesn’t have the players) comes up against a team that is great from set pieces and generally good defensively.

First half we were the only side that played football and were deservedly 1-0 up. Had we just been able to do the simple things right - Aston Villa had no threat whatsoever unless we were going to gift them a free kick, penalty or corner.

In the first half they had a couple of good chances. One was a free kick that Taylor was stupid to give away. And the second was from a free kick which Given saved well.

I said to may mate that we’d need at least one more because we were bound to concede from one of the above.

Second half we failed to clear on numerous occassions from the left back position. We were trying to be clever. An Allardyce ‘boot it upfield’ approach would have been beneficial. Next thing, the balls across on the left and a terrible deflection plus poor goalkeeping makes it 1-1.

We should have gotten rid, but still they were extremely lucky to be back in it and NEVER looked like scoring from open play before then.

The goal that followed from the corner was fully expected. But the goal from open play was a fluke and really killed us.

Then, the thing I’d predicted earlier occured. Set piece after set piece. I think they scored from two corners. Oh and then another from a penalty.

They are set piece specialists. We have a sh*t defence and was poor in finishing with only Michael Owen that seems working hard alone while his partner Alan Smith was not helping him at all through the games. Both are the recipes for disaster.

We look better than them with the ball on the floor but we’re still toothless and Barton-Butt combinations in midfield aren’t good enough. We also need a striker who will make things happen.

4-1 flattered a side that fails to play good football but has a good defence and is excellent from set pieces. We decided we didn’t want this type of football at SJP so we can shut up and deal with the consequences.

With an average set of players - teams like Everton, Villa, Middlesborough and then the top 4 will all look forward to playing us. Keegan’s approach will only work if we throw money at it. Those Sam Allardyce’s players just aren’t good enough to attack for 90 minutes.

Sam Allardyce finally speaking for the first time to the press yesterday after his parted company with United last month. Sam Allardyce said that he has done what any best manager can do for Newcastle. He also said to have not enough backing from Mike Ashley to buy new players last summer.

“I am smarting, I think that for me (given) the timing, and the few games I had, it was a massive shock when they said they were going to make a change.” Allardyce said as quoted from Sky Sports, “At the start of the season we had a short window with the new owners to work with. We had not as much money as I expected.”

Big Sam said that his original plan to came to Newcastle is to spend big money, the old way that the former chairman Freddie Shepperd had always done with this club.

Allardyce said he has told the new owner to get stick at some point but they haven’t been able to handle the pressure from the Toon Army and some media journalists.

“I’m the casualty of that. Looking back over that short period I don’t think any of it was particularly my fault.” He added more, “At the time I considered myself to have a chance but since I’ve left things have been said that I was never their man.”

On his 8 months in charge, most of the Toon supporters admit they were never convinced by Allardyce’s appointment, and the media report also said the same thing because of the style of football he favoured. Allardyce was not agree about that opinion and said that the job isn’t too big for him.

“That’s an absolute load of rubbish. A job of that size is about the size of the fans, not the club internally. I don’t think the fans didn’t like me. I think they did like me, but it was the agitators that were the problem, the Press and one or two of the ex-players.”

In my honest opinion, Big Sam was right in some points, and maybe we didn’t have given him enough time to set the right foundation for the club to go forward. I also think that he was also right about the limited funds he gets from the new owner, but I’m not agree of what he said about the agitators between the Toon supporters.

Maybe his biggest mistake was he never listen to what others said about his style of football. Sir Bobby Robson has told him about what the Geordies love to see every Saturday is the attacking style not Big Sam’s Boltonised version of Newcastle United.
