If we don't show up for this we could find ourselves on the end of a hammering because Carroll will be playing his heart out. I'm not too worried about Nolan, he pops up in the right places but he's not the fittest or most technically gifted player in the world and I'd like to think our lot know how to keep him quiet having trained with him for a long time. I'd also like to think Pardew has made all the players well aware of Carroll coming back with a point to prove. The fact is, West Ham are doing better than expected this season and it's got to come to an end somewhere, we're better than they are if we show up as well so I can't see anything other than a win.
3-1.
