I personally think they should be docked points, and should have been in the first place.

They cheated, and the player that was the part of cheating, kept them up. They say cheating is not welcome in the game, then they should do more about this! West Ham deserve to go down!

nah Wigan deserved to go down they can't even fill their tiny stadium. All of Wigan support Man U. The town Wigan just has no pride, I'm from Reading, a similar size to Wigan same size stadium and we fill ours week in week out!

Yep, I went to Wigan v Newcastle and there must have not been many more Wigan fans than Newcastle fans!

Ive been reliably informed that wigan fans often dress up as empty seats thus giving us the illusion that no-ones there

I dont think west ham should go down now. That just shows that a decision isn't final within the FA. If the rules are bent now, whos saying the rules wont go in a circle???

Sheff utd should go down in my opinion, they lost on the final day.... Deal with it!

Tevez didnt keep west ham in the premiership alone, we all know its a team game. West ham on paper have a fairly decent team, 5.2 million to stay in the premiership??? Yes please

Plus i dont like neil warnock... Im a forest fan lol

Look at the position they were in before Teves started scoring though? How many vital goals did he get? Quite a few.

I mentioned this on pool, but if the FA are to come down hard again on West Ham, then they should do so to all the other dirty football clubs. West Ham are not the only ones, football is a dirty game!

Granted, but he didn't score them alone. He need's service to be able to score. The fact Alan pardew stuck to his decision to play tevez on and off throughout the season couldn't have done much for morale throughout the team. One minute he starts the next he's on the bench, All the hype surrounding the transfer of the 2 player's including tevez. West Ham have had alot of ''S***'' thrown there way this season. Im glad they didn't go down.

End of the day, football has become a poser's game, whats happened to the good old nitty and gritty of football matches?? People like Roman Abramovich and the FA and Television right's have destroyed it. When will the FA put a stop to money situation's? When theres only a premiership and championship!

then liverpool dont deserve to be in the champions league, west ham was fined for buying mascherano and tevez and liverpool bought mascherano of west ham, therefore they need to be docked points aswell as west ham, although it was ages ago, was just browing the forum and spotted it!

I think thats harsh ronnie. Liverpool bought Mascherano with the blessing of the premier league. Without it they would have left him in west hams reserves. The real question is the FACT that West ham knew they were not in control of the two players when they bought them at the beginning of the season. This is the reason they got fined a piddly £5 million after the event and hence why Wigan and Sheffield United feel they have a case against the premier league and not West Ham.
