But most importantly are there any players worth putting in our fantasy teams next season as they will certainly be cheap?

Tomkins (class centre back and he also is always up there for corners, free kicks and has scored quite a few this season)

Noble ( will always play, takes pens )

Vaz Te ( second top goalscorer in championship, runs at players and doesn't mind shooting from anywhere )

Cole ( really think this is going to be his season, will be the main man up front and will get some goals )

I think West Ham will stay up,but only just and only because of Allardyces premier league experience,on the down side Allardyce teams have a habit of gifting United 6 points a season. ,

Hey Mark, welcome back to the PL mate... always rated West Hams fans... good fair opinionated people.

Just a quick question, as you can see I am a Kiwi from NZ, just wondered what West Ham fans thought of Reid? He has imporved a lot... how do you guys rate him?

Like alot of our fans, Nolan was a worry at first , 5 year contract and massive wages ! for a player age'ing and he looked very sluggish at start of the season.

But big Sam went out of his way to get him for one reason, his influence is massive, he screams at players if there not pulling there shift and really gives the team a lift - we wouldnt have got promoted without him, so on the promotion alone he's worth that contract - he should be ok in the prem, Noble and Collison are the legs and Nolan has a habit of being in the right place at the right time, he will be for us what Lampard is for chelsea.[/quote]

Sounds like same old Nolan tbh

Glad to see him back in the PL sure he grab enough goals for you guys and i think with Big Sam at the helm you should be solid enough to stay up. Will that be enough or will the fans want the (in)famous West Ham way we shall see.

Still nice to see Nolan back @ SJP imagine he'll get a great reception.

not with fergies mate Sam, why do you think venkies got rid, seven nil and not a sign of emotion!

Yep, your right he has improved alot, hes a really good player , does have the odd lapse in concentration - but he's full of confidence and plays well with Tomkins, next season will be a big test for him, but i expect him to start with Tomkins at centre back. i like him.

Markt85, I wish west ham the best of luck this season, great fans and club.

I'm saying this despite your shocking revelation towards the end of April that your were "not arsed who wins" in the manc derby i.e. the title decider. I was outraged by that, outraged.

Thanks bud appreciate your views. I hope he gets better and better for you guys.. epl should be a great challenge for him.. good luck to the hammers next season hope they stay up for a long time.

I think they will survive. Think Big Sam knows the league inside and out and will bring in some players from the teams that went down. Think he might raid Blackburn for Pedersen and maybe Robbinson if the keeper Green goes. Would be a good signing and I wouldnt be shocked if they try and bring back Joe Cole as well to add some much needed flair into the team for the league.
