West Ham boss Allardyce: Our Man Utd plans were rumbled

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has revealed his pre-match plans for defeat to Manchester United were rumbled.

Today's opponents Crystal Palace are being investigated by the Premier League over claims that Cardiff's line-up was leaked to them 24 hours before kick-off.

But Hammers boss Allardyce admits he had a similar experienced when they faced champions United at Upton Park last month.

He said: "I've experienced it and it is life. We played here in training and there was a photographer in the garden taking pictures of our team and they had our line-up before we played Manchester United to the man.

"Phil Neville told me they had our line-up anyway.

"It can happen in many different ways. I would like to find the cameraman."
