Nigel nails Hammers

Last updated : 20 May 2008 By Tom Vickers

Nigel Reo-Coker frustrated West Ham fans for the second time in as many weeks by taunting his underachieving former club.
Reo-Coker who played a key role in Villa's 2-2 draw at Upton Park just over a week ago insists the Hammers have flattered to deceive.
The dynamic midfielder claims his former club spent more than enough money to succeed but simply couldn't compete with the real Claret and Blue.
Reo-Coker has been the subject of torrid abuse from the Upton Park faithful but hasn't let the wrath faze him.
He shrugged off the boo boys during the return to his former stomping ground and put in a man of the match display.
It was a performance that helped Villa cement sixth spot in the League - a position he sees as deserved.
The former
England under-21 captain has been at the heart of the midfield this season alongside inspirational skipper Gareth Barry.
And on the subject of the
Liverpool target, Reo-Coker simply said he hopes Barry stays to steer Villa on the road to glory.
