Rumours abound that Tevez could be making a return to the Boleyn in the Summer if juventus sign Paulo Dybala but at 31 is this really a good idea? Whilst I am sure he still has the goal scoring ability surely this is a backward step?

Checking the injury latest ,Cole and Reid should be back Saturday,nobody else.Don't know how Allardyce will set up the side for this game ,but I think he would go with Adrian,Jenkinson,Reid,Collins,Cresswell,Noble,Kouyate,Song,Downing,Sakho,Cole in a 4-3-1-2.Hopefully Downing playing behind the front two where he is most effective rather than stuck out on the wing where he tends to fade.Then again, knowing Sam, he may go 4-5-1 bringing in Jarvis or Nene(who is a winger and specialist free-kick taker) and leave Sakho up front alone,but it would mean playing wingers and having Downing playing out wide.Whatever team is put out, Sunderland will be no pushovers, they will not put on a repeat showing of last Saturday's debacle against Aston Villa.A team that has wounded pride and no manager will be out to prove something,players will be out to show they are worthy of their place for the new manager.Missing Valencia is a big loss, as he and Sakho work well together, with the pace and movement they bring to the team pulling opposition defences all over the place.Only Tomkins missing, other than that from a full strength side,but team confidence won't be great after a poor run of results and fan pressure in the Upton Park cauldron could weigh heavily if they fall behind,so really its no easy call this match.How do you think it will go?

Big Sam Favourite To Replace Gus Poyet

Hot on the heals of Gus Poyet's sacking by Sunderland, Sam Allardyce has emerged as test placed to takeover as manager. Our gaming partner www.bonuscorner.com have confirmed that the serious money is being placed on the incumbent Hammer's manager replacing Poyet. The timing and sequence of events could prove to be acceptable by most parties involved. Should Big Sam decide to take up the offer of helping Sunderland survive, for which incidentally he would be royally rewarded, the West Ham co owners David Gold and David Sullivan would not have to pay up the rest of his contract, furthermore they might even get a compensation payment from the Mackams!
Now this course of action would meet with the wide approval of most Hammers fans, but who would take over, in what capacity and for how long? Michael Laudrup is the current name in the frame, who despite being the manager of Qatar Stars League club Lekhwiya, could be paid out of his contract with the proceeds of the 'Sam' transfer money. If an interim manager were appointed it would allow time for Slacen Bilic, David Moyes and even Rafa Benitez to be put in the frame. -Ed

Forget the heart this is why the head thinks he should go

Forget your personal emotional views on Allardyce's style of football. Forget whether you like the obvious nepotism that he perpetuates with players all sharing his agent. Forget his mild contempt of us fans and refusal to accept how we want to watch the team play. If he continues to stay I think financially and image wise it will affect us for a long time. If we go to a stadium and fill it by two thirds, the marketing and promotional image will be a laughing stock. We might get some more prawn sandwiches from the city, but who will be there on a Tuesday night to watch us play Burnley? His wages as well are a problem, if he stays he's going to get an increase in wages ( http://www.tsmplay.com/top10/highest-paid-football-managers/ ) just think about who else we could have for that money? Is mid table obscurity with a splash of colour in an otherwise grey season, plus a lacklustre cup run enough, for someone on £3million a year? There's a problem at the club, with the owners' ages too, especially Gold. I expect they feel they haven't got the time to tinker with a new, younger manager with new ideas about the game. They want stability and then a full OS, but I think that's the irony. I know more and more people that have stopped going or go to less games, because of the manager. How do they expect that to change? How do they think that the club can grab optimism by the scruff of the neck again? All we can do this season is be thankful we won't get relegated, is that enough anymore?
