But whether he plays or not, we can't get too obsessed about it. "West Ham have a lot of options and it'll be a tough match whoever is playing up front." He added: "I recognised my time working with Nicky and it was too short for my liking. I thought he was terrific and I wish him well, but tomorrow night I hope he's on the losing team!" Good interview by DMC, So should we be worried about NM, My answer is yes, We should be terrified, Not only is it him but we also have to contain vaz te, nolan, cole, noble the list goes on, The team ozes quality in every area of the pitch, and if its not going right for them they have the strength to call someone from the becnh to hurt us, BUT!! they dont have andre amoungou, he is our rock at the back, and since his arrival we are unbeaten and i have no doubt he can handle maynard and vaz te. pffft if anything they should be scared Stead.... stead will tear you apart again, just gunna go get those pills now
Ahhh, the wonderful Joy Div. Lets hope we are still in 'the joy div' come the end of the season Shiny
Usually returning players are up to the task of putting one over on their old employer and I would be disappointed if Nicky wasn't included in that group. The crowd reaction will be interesting and I ask everyone to behave in this regard! We can drag up all the messy stuff from the past but that's exactly what it is the PAST. I don't think Nicky has got quite the playing time at WHU that he would have wanted and, as yet, still has not played in the Premiership. To be perfectly honest I don't think he will get that chance if the Hammers are promoted because they will want to build the team for the challenge and I think Nicky will be moved on or play a bit part. Not sure whether my heart can stand the tension between now and game time (12:45 MST). Get the job done lads.
Sorry mike he wil be getting dogs abuse from me, having a Panto villain helps get everyone in the mood. And before you all say it will just encourage him more, sometimes that works, sometimes not.. Lambert never scored against us despite promising the sags he would "for them"
