West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has again hit out at fans complaining about his management.

Allardyce had previously hit out over an attack on his tactics, labelling them 'deluded' for their instance on the 'West Ham way'.

And now, ahead of their Good Friday clash at Barnsley, the former Bolton, Newcastle and Blackburn manager has spoken out again.

"Negativity has been very much in the forefront recently, which is strange because we have lost one in 12," he told The Sun.

"You get opinions about our results like 'James Tomkins shouldn't be playing in midfield because he is a centre-half.

"You get all that b******s. What happens is I look at the performance of every player and say to everyone who says that: 'You're talking b******s.'

"He played in that holding role for three games when we had 10 men - so that is how short memories are. That is how much b******s is talked in football.

"I don't listen to that drivel because what bothers me is that James Tomkins plays well."
