Sam Allardyce has gone points-mad in the Premier League after West Ham came from behind to overcome West Brom 2-1 at The Hawthorns.
And after the result, which leaves The Hammers in 5th place (just three points behind 2nd place Manchester City), Allardyce jokingly predicted: "We're gonna win the league!"
He added: “For us to have 24 points at this stage of the season is one hell of a total based on where we were this time last year when we were almost in the bottom three.
“Our strength in depth is what is paying off for us at the moment. We had to make changes to the team again, some by fatigue and some by injury, and we used the squad to its maximum. In the end we have pulled off another victory."
Big Sam owes the victory to James Tomkins, who redeemed himself from his embarrassing reaction to a push by Kevin Mirallas in West Ham's game at Goodison Park 10 days ago by scoring last night's winner.
