The West Ham United striker Andy Carroll made a successful return to the starting line-up by scoring the only goal of the game in the 1-0 victory over Swansea during the weekend.

The striker had missed the last two months of action due to an injury, but the manager Sam Allardyce said that delighted to have the striker back in the team. Carroll was signed from Liverpool on a season-long loan deal, but he has featured only a handful of games for West Ham so far. This has been due to several injury problems that have hampered the season so far for the former Newcastle United striker.

The West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that he is extremely confident that the former England international Joe Cole has revealed his career after making the move to his former club West Ham in the first week of the summer transfer window.

The West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce is of the opinion that the star striker Robin van Persie could prove to be the difference between Manchester United winning the title and losing it.

The club signed the former Arsenal man for £ 24 million in the summer, which has been questioned by a lot of people. Many think that Manchester United are in desperate need of a strong midfielder and not a good quality striker. However, Robin van Persie has been able to secure 12 goals in all competitions for the club, which have been extremely important.

The West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that he is hoping that the England manager Roy Hodgson will take good care of the striker Andy Carroll, who is currently on loan at the London club.

The West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that he expects the new signing Matt Jarvis to come good after settling with the club. The 26-year-old England international made his debut for the club in the match against Swansea during the weekend.

West Ham United, however, were extremely disappointing in the match after they lost 3-0. Matt Jarvis was expected to provide a lot of crosses for the strikers at the club, but he was good only in certain moments. As a result, many have questioned the £ 10.5 million the paid by West Ham United for the player to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has revealed that he has no sympathy for the relegated Blackburn Rovers, whom he used to manage a few seasons ago.

The former Bolton Wanderers manager was sacked in the most acrimonious circumstances by the Blackburn board. He was eventually replaced by his assistant Steve Kean, who has since slandered Allardyce according to the Liverpool fanzine.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed to the media that the club will not be looking to sign Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov or Liverpool striker Andy Carroll in the summer transfer window. West Ham United have been linked with a move for these players after they have been frozen out in their respective clubs.

West Ham United chairman David Gold has revealed that goalkeeper Robert Green will be leaving the club at the end of the season. This news comes as a major blow for West Ham fans given that Robert Green is a recognised England international.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has said that he is extremely proud of his players and their achievement after they qualified for the play-offs.

West Ham were one of the favourites to get the automatic promotion spot this season, but their poor form in the last few months has meant that they have conceded the first two places to Southampton and Reading.
