mickbrown Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Someone should show this to Wenger, Benitez, and that gobshite Souness. CHRIS COLEMAN has defended Wanderers' style of play and praised his counterpart Sam Allardyce just a day before his Fulham side travel up to the Reebok Stadium. The former Wales international went against the trend by claiming that Wanderers are 'now on the map' courtesy of Allardyce's stewardship. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez recently joined the list of Premiership managers, which include Graeme Souness and Jose Mourinho, to slate Wanderers' tactics. But Coleman, whose outfit will be looking for a maximum in Lancashire to boost their survival hopes, has nothing but praise for his Wanderers counterpart. He said: "Look at where Sam has put Bolton - they're on the map now. I feel sorry for him. He's done a great job but because it's Sam Allardyce and Bolton he gets a bit of stick for the way they play. "But what do people want? He hasn't got the club into top six by spending ??30million on his squad. He's done it the hard way. People in this country like you to do well, but not too well. "Bolton play a certain style of football, but they don't just lump it. They're not like Wimbledon 15 years ago. They play in a certain style in defence and when they're in the opposition's half they change it around. "They have talented guys like Jay Jay Okocha, Ivan Campo and Gary Speed. They put the ball in certain areas where they think it will do the most damage, but when they get the chance to play they do that."
exiledwhite2 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Respect I like Coleman anyway, he doesn't bullshit.
BWFCOLINH58 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 hes a prick...........he is trying the double bluff
Smiffs Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 he says we're great, so sam says to the lads, 'go easy on em, don't hack em, he's ok this lad'. in reality, sam says 'ignore the welsh c??nt, go and kick the cockney filth off the park'.
Guest as Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Coleman also slagged off Fulham's support earlier in the season - so he's one of the few honest managers in the league. PB O:) 'The way I see it, God created Adam & Eve - he didn't create Adam & Steve'
