From the Daily Telegraph:

5 years at £45,000 a week will earn Nolan / cost West Ham £11,700,000 For playing in the Second Divsion FFS!!!!!

It is Nolan’s signing that is the most exciting for West Ham supporters and it is a testimony to Allardyce’s relationship with the player that he has decided to drop down a division.

Aged 28, he is also likely to be granted the five-year contract by West Ham that Newcastle refused to give him and will earn wages of £45,000-a-week, probably making him the highest-earner in the Championship.

I was thinking that. Balotelli got booked for standing there and lifting his shirt over his head,

Don't know if it's true, but a mate was saying that ruling came into being after sponsors badgered the FA, as they didn't want their logos obscured from shirts when all the tv cameras are pointing at the player who scores.

Regarding the Balotelli celebration, the FA regulations state it's only a bookable offence if the shirt is taken off or pulled over the player's head.
So if he'd just lifted it up without putting it over his head (it wouldn't have looked as good) he shouldn't have been booked.

On the subject of what an utter **** Nolan is, did everbody see his disgusting assault in The Hammers - Birmingham game the other night?

What made it even worse was that the idiot ref saw it and only gave him a yellow, so he can't even be retrospectively banned for it.

Can't stand his celebration when he scores - its not a Funky Chicken dance, it's a Cock dance.

I would imagine West Ham can only afford him because of the parachute payment they got when they were relegated from the EPL.
