It would appear West Ham boss Sam Allardyce isn’t in any rush to read Louis van Gaal’s long-ball dossier.
The Manchester United manager, stung by accusations from Allardyce that his side played long-ball football during the two sides’ draw last weekend, produced the document at a press conference this week, containing statistics intended to refute the claims.
Allardyce was handed a copy today at his own briefing ahead of the Hammers’ FA Cup game against West Brom – and didn’t seem too impressed.

If you want a quick read, here’s what was in the document. If you can work out what exactly it proves, you’re doing better than we are.

We’re imagine Allardyce’s reaction, when he does find time to peruse it, will be something like this.
