10 Hammers And Tigers Who Would Love To Relegate Newcastle

6. Sam Allardyce (West Ham United)

This one needs very little explanation. Sam Allardyce is loathed on Tyneside following his poor Newcastle reign between May 2007 and January 2008 - and, if it is physically possible, he despises the Magpies and everything they stand for to an even greater degree. In fact, Big Sam has already readily admitted he will have "no sympathy" should Newcastle go down. Speaking after West Ham lost 2-1 at home to Everton at the weekend, Allardyce told Sky Sports:

"We've (Allardyce, Nolan and Carroll) talked about it (going to Newcastle). When you look at the ­situation from our point of view it's about being ­professional, not about what we do because it€™s Newcastle and we were there. "It's about trying to win there for our benefit and the justification for everybody else in terms of who are fighting that relegation battle. We have to try to do our very best. "You can€™t show sympathy for anybody, because nobody shows any sympathy for you."

You can already picture that smug look he will have on his face should the Magpies be relegated - and that's something no Toon supporter wants to see...
