Safety and a relaxing end of season

What a time to hit an unbeaten run. 2 home wins and 3 away draws, indeed 3 wins and 3 draws in 7 games. Not bad.

Almost enough to make this Headmaster an Allardyce fan. I said Almost.

Seriously though, happy days!

A draw against the Champions elect? Just Rejoice…….

After the dire home displays of much of last season, how far we have come at the Boleyn in 12 months.

We out fought United tonight. Allardyce has every one of our players throwing their body on the line for the shirt and our collective desire was stronger than that of our illustrious opponents who had been challenged by their manager to win every remaining game this season.

West Ham earn a precious point after an Allardyce master-class!

When most Hammers saw the team sheet today pre-kick off, we would have been forgiven for fearing the usual annual drubbing at Anfield against a resurgent Liverpool looking to push on and secure at least a top 6 position.

No Reid, Noble, Joe Cole or Andy Carroll left us hoping for something with a side that looked Championship quality barring a few notable exceptions.
