So, Sam bloody Allardyce is the new manager of England. BIG SAM. The moustache. Sunderland's old boss. The former long-ball master of Bolton Wanderers. Sam. Allardyce.
It's a new England manager, and it's Sam Allardyce. So as you can expect, Twitter went a little bit crazy when the move was officially announced. Here's the best of 'em.

Sam Allardyce is the new England manager. Wish him the very best. It's not the impossible job it's said to be, as I hope big Sam proves.

Three of the last five England managers have a first name starting with S. Had never happened before Sven #makesuthink

What England are right now is a really average side. No knockout wins since 2006. We ARE an international Sunderland.
Big Sam.. 80% Gravy 100% Sex Symbol
At least England'll enjoy themselves on nights out again when they go to international tournaments. https://t.co/2u0AsJZEVr
