Sam Allardyce criticised for his utterly ignorant remarks on foreign players in the Premier League

The mind boggles sometimes about the things that emerge from Sam Allardyce's mouth.

The Sunderland manager is a journalist's wet dream when it comes to quotes, and after last night's 1-0 loss to Manchester City at the Stadium of Light, the Black Cats boss was once again in fine verbal garbage form. His side were beaten by a Sergio Aguero goal, but the game was noted especially for one seemingly ugly incident when Jermaine Defoe's elbow appeared to connect with the face of Nicolas Otamendi. https://twitter.com/JHunterChron/status/694628776173518849 https://twitter.com/SteveWilson1967/status/694675525210656768 Things got heated for a while but the game eventually calmed down as Sunderland slumped to another home loss under the former West Ham manager. In his post-match briefing, Allardyce was asked about the incident, and he trotted out a line that was pretty much just missing the cliche of  "they don't like it up 'em", and "they're technically better so they are them foreign players". https://twitter.com/danielstorey85/status/694647468601012225 Naturally the hypocrisy and stupidity of the statement was quickly exposed on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Con_027/status/694648247311319040 https://twitter.com/DaveSmith8882/status/694644260444966912 https://twitter.com/ChrisJT23/status/694651303146946560 We wonder what his players will think of the statement the next time one of them gets an elbow or stray boot to the face?
