Sam’s stinging Tomkins words

James Tomkins received the mother and father of dressing downs from manager Sam Allardyce after his Everton theatricals.

His collapse to the ground has drawn widespread criticism and as ClaretandHugh reported two days ago he received some “sharp words” as a result.

Kevin Mirallas shoved Tomkins in the chest and the central defender went to ground – apparently in agony – clutching his face.

Now in The Sun we are told that – according to their sources : “Tomkins won’t do it again after getting an earful from the boss.

“He was told he represented West Ham and they don’t wish to be associated with behaviour like that.”
