Sam Allardce has given the fans a near perfect Christmas present by sending them off for their holidays in fourth place.
After the victory over Leicester the Irons boss beamed: “Being fourth in the Premier League is a Christmas present for everybody at West Ham.
“And having 31 points before Christmas is a pretty major achievement for us.”
Andy Carrolland Stewart Downing wrapped up the points with a goal apiece and Allardyce saId: “There is no doubt we deserved to win with the quality finishes from Andy and Stewart.
“It was a very composed finish from Andy in a one-on-one. I was pleased he put that in after he missed an even easier chance just before that.
“He was our most creative and best player by far, he’s been a revelation for us — and his goal was outstanding. So this is a very big win for us before we have Chelsea next.”
It’s a revelation this season – feels great to be in this position by Christmas.
I’ll admit it – if it had been me I’d have got rid of BFS – but hey, what do I know – credit to the two David’s for sticking by him!
Happy Christmas a very prosperous New Year to you and yours – COYI
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle with no fuss
In a West Ham open bus
On the fields we play
Scoring all the way
Bubbles rising high
Dreaming castles sigh
What fun it is to watch and sing
This football song tonight!
