The comedian behind it seems like a great chap.

 

Dieudonné M'bala M'bala (born 11 February 1966), generally known by his stage name Dieudonné (French: [djø.dɔ.ne]), is a French comedian, actor and political activist. Initially an anti-racist activist, he later became close to the far-right Front National[1] and fringe organisations. He has been condemned in court several times for antisemitic remarks. Since 1997, Dieudonné has regularly stood in parliamentary and European Union elections as a candidate at the head of fringe or splinter parties, and has tried and failed to run in two French presidential elections (2002 and 2007). He openly supported Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's views on Israel and the Jewish people. He has made "heil" like signs on television as part of a sketch that made controversy. He has described Holocaust remembrance as "memorial pornography".

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce told BBC Sport: "The game was very frustrating. There is a reason why that happened, none of our centre-backs are fit. Losing James Tomkins was a big blow for us. Our coping mechanism was playing four full-backs across the back four. That has cost us three points. They did their very best but got caught out. We didn't have enough aerial threat defending corners.

 

"We showed great fighting spirit in the second half. We have had two games in 48 hours. We practice on the training ground how to hold onto leads. But the players forgot how to deal with West Brom's kick-off and stop them scoring. You can blame anxiety or fatigue, but you can't forget how to deal with them."

 

An impressive amount of excuses.

"It's everyones fault but mine, did you not see my performance at Spurs? Europeans 0 - 3 Sam Allardici. That's who I am, we're the only team who are tired and have injuries, West Brom haven't played for years so would much fresher whereas we played this morning too."

Also, Sam making more friends:

 

More from West Ham boss Sam Allardyce to BBC Sport: "Cups don't mean anything any more. We worked our way to the League Cup semi-finals. It doesn't matter, what does is our Premier League status and getting points. They are secondary in our plight, especially with our injuries.

 

"I think the deciding factor [of staying up] will not be what January signings we make, but how quickly our injured players come back. If the players missing were fit, we'd have won the game. When you have six, seven players injured it's too much to cope."
