Sam Allardyce’s first game in charge at Sunderland did not go well – and it seems to have got to him already.
Big Sam featured in a graphic on Sky Sports’ always informative Monday Night Football, and it caused much mirth on Twitter for his bizarre appearance.
You know the type of thing, players and managers alike are asked to take a few steps towards the camera and pose in front of a green screen. Expressions range from ‘determined’ to ‘relaxed’.
For some reason, Allardyce just looks plain distracted. Not for him a straight-forward fixed gaze at the camera – instead he looks away with the fairies.
Here’s just a few of the best reactions…

If this is the best picture of 'big' Sam sky could get, imagine the ones they didn't use. pic.twitter.com/lysuOWo4Re
