i am sorry sam has joined the ranks of managers who point their arms during play as though they are conducting an orchestra or directing a play
the players see and hear nothing of this and it is purely for the benefit of watching directors
there are a couple of european bosses who started this - can't remember names but its nothing but an act

For many years managers have been pointing during the game. They are basically reminding their players to keep focus or to push down the pitch while they are still ahead. Hence today with Big Sam, West Ham would have taken their foot off the gas if he hadn't reminded them to push forward.
Of course the players see and hear it and respond.
the chances of hearing a single voice in a premiership ground is zero
they're just trying to con the directors
maybe you guys havent noticed it - one of the pundits on telly mentioned it a while ago too
just look out for it you'll see what i mean
If the managers truly are performing theatre for the directors, then I personally want to see a bit more effort or versatility. Perhaps an entire Shakespearean tragedy performed entirely through mime? Or perhaps both managers could work together and try a duologue that would encapsulate the body of work by Pinter?
Best dramatic performance
Most emotion performance
Best comedy performance (Wenger has won this for last 5 years)
The SAF award for best angry stare at a official
Some people really have way to much time on their hands when it comes to football. They need to find another hobby
Maybe that's why you were playing non-league?
My understanding is that managers will normally have their 'Generals' on the pitch, and it will be them, that they direct their instructions at, rather than randomly shouting instructions. Unless there is something specific that they want to tell a particular player, then you'll see and hear them shouting his name until they have his attention, then relay the message.
Are you ok?
The main criticism from West Ham fans appears to be because of his style of play. Although they appear to be living in some La-La land where West Ham should play like Barcelona.
