West Ham’s Twitter account was brutally honest about their side’s performance today

Big Sam, is that you?

Robert Redmond

Football fans had a big laugh at Chelsea last week.

The club’s official website published an hilariously deluded account of Manchester City’s convincing 3-0 win over the Premier League holders.

It was so skewed in favour of Chelsea, it’s was though Jose Mourinho himself wrote it.

During West Ham’s 4-3 loss to Bournemouth today, it was as though the Hammers’ former manager Sam Allardyce was briefly in charge of the club’s official Twitter account.

It if it wasn’t Big Sam, then the person in charge of the account was clearly fed up with the poor showing from the home side.

With one incident, which led to a Bournemouth penalty, and Carl Jenkinson getting sent-off, proving to be particularly frustrating.

Such honestly is rare from a Premier League club’s official social media account, and the tweet was quickly deleted, but not before Back Page Football managed to get a screenshot.

On the pitch, West Ham’s players apparently didn’t show the same level of honesty.
