West Ham favourite Carlton Cole hits back at Jamie O’Hara with Tottenham dig

Former West Ham striker Carlton Cole defended the enjoyment of watching the club in the Championship, responding to comments from Jamie O'Hara during a talkSPORT debate. Cole argued that he would rather win matches consistently in the second tier than struggle in the Premier League, making a pointed Tottenham comparison during the discussion.

Writer James Chettle noted that high-scoring results like West Ham's 6-0 win over Wrexham support Cole's perspective regarding the matchgoing experience. However, Chettle highlighted that enjoying victories does not diminish the club's goal of securing promotion, referencing Teddy Sheringham's warning that the team will not easily dominate the Championship.
