West Ham is our final team preview on 32 Flags. Under “Big Sam” Allardyce, the Hammers finished a solid 13th in the EPL. They weren’t the flashiest team out there, in fact they were probably one of the least flashy teams in the league but they got points where it mattered and stayed in the EPL.

So what will become of the team who will move into London’s Olympic Stadium in a couple years? Expect more of the same out of Allardyce’s men. They may finish a bit lower in the table but I still can’t see them getting relegated. And that will make their fans happily blowing bubbles all year long.
