Hammers head this League

|

FairPlayTableWest Ham are sitting ahead of Liverpool and Burnley in the Fair Play League and so long as they can stay there a Europa League spot could be on offer.

Three Uefa associations receive a spot in next season’s competition through their fair play figures, and the FA is a possible contender if their stats are impressive enough compared to rival countries’.

As of the new year, England sat in third spot in Europe, behind Holland and Ireland, however the final rankings are not revealed until the end of the campaign.

West Ham will need to keep it clean from now until then and also hope other teams, who are at the bottom of the table, sort out their records as it depends on the league’s average score.

Tottenham are the lowest ranked London side down in 16th, narrowly behind Chris Ramsey’s QPR.

    Id love a European adventure but it may be to soon, look at Evertons league position this year and you could see us potentially fighting relegation however if our summer transfers are as good as last summer we might be able to do well in both

    I really dont think it would be fair on the paying punters of teams across europe to have to watch Allardyces team playing away,we would have a ‘Respect The Point’ campaign,which would probably lead european fans to wonder if we actually had any forwards at the club 🙂

    I hope we don’t get to Europe fixtures are just awful to premier League and gonna have to sacrifice one for the other to play. This season we increased the bar but not high enough for Europe need 1 more season at least. My bet Sam is gone next year for sure he had new ideas years ago at Bolton when he still was young. He’s past his age, retire and enjoy the sun Sam wish you all the best!
