This story also reflects well on Pards and Parky. I have always been marginal about Thomas because he was such a patchy player. The jury is still out for me but if he continues with his form of last Saturday, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about him.
"When he arrived, he told me to get fitter,work hard and improve on the defensive side of my game and that if I did, he'd put me in the side -and he's kept his word.
That was the problem, I can see why Reed wanted to ship Thomas out and had it happened in January I don't think there'd have been too many complaints, and I can't recall that many people opposing it when it was brought up as a rumour. One match doesn't make a season but it does demonstrate that Pardew is having a great influence in the changing room, what was it that Eggert said about his influence in the West Ham squad...

Well if he plays like that every week he can shag my missus the night before every game as far as I care!!!!
Hadn't he just come back from a long injury?
Anyway look at what happened to Ferdinand and Cole after talking to the opposition!
Is that supposed to be an incentive ;-)
