Big Sam was not a happy man

Allardyce is under pressure and knows it – and fell back on the tried and tested method of blaming the officials.

The added time and the penalty were particular points of contention for the Hammers boss and he made no bones of making sure that was obvious in his post match press conference.

Allardyce even sympathised with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho over the inconsistencies displayed by officials and after this weekend, it is hard to disagree with either of them.
