It doesn't help, but it shouldn't have been that big an issue.

Nottingham Forest finished 3rd in the Premiership when nobody was talking, or passing, to Stan Collymore (for example). That West Ham squad should have been pushing for a place in Europe, however much of a Fascist c**t Di Canio was/is (and Roeder should have dealt with him, really).

But yes, 42 points would have finished about 13th last year.
