West Ham midfielder Stewart Downing: "It was a very good home win for us to move to seventh. Our home form is good and no disrespect to QPR, but we have to beat teams like this at home. We are playing well as a team, enjoying ourselves and there is competition for places that keeps everyone on their toes."

Here's the Premier League table after another quality weekend of action.

The television cameras cut to a very disgruntled-looking QPR owner Tony Fernandes, who is deep in discussion with Les Ferdinand and the club's CEO Philip Beard. Don't do anyting rash, Tony... I want to get home for my tea.

"West Ham looked very comfortable and Sam Allardyce will be delighted. They go above Arsenal on goal difference. The strikers were fantastic, the defence looked assured, and Alex Song covered every blade of grass. Another great win for West Ham."

Three points for the Hammers, who move up to seventh in the Premier League table heading into the international break.

Alan Parks:, external Everyone knocks Big Sam but he has a great transfer record: Jay-Jay Okocha, Youri Djorkaeff, Ivan Campo, and now Alex Song and Enner Valencia. West Ham will be top half.

Three minutes left in this one. It's fizzling out quicker than a cheap firework now.

Aaron Creswell is brought down by Karl Henry. Yellow card for the Rangers midfielder.

"That was a bit of a weak attempt in the end from Kevin Nolan, he is normally very good in those situations. He will be disappointed with that.

"On Enner Valencia, West Ham took something of a risk in signing an Ecuadorian who we didn't really know very much about. He has had to settle into playing in this country but the risk has paid off. He has linked up with Diafra Sakho extremely well. Alex Song, another signing, has also played really well today."

The Hammers almost make it three when Alex Song wins the ball in midfield and Stewart Downing squares to Kevin Nolan in the box but the midfielder side-foots his effort straight at Rob Green.

Go and have yourself five minutes, Matty Jarvis. Enner Valencia... you go and run an early bath.

Vinny Pearson:, externalThought Adel Taraabt was meant to be lining up for Real Madrid or Inter Milan this season? On the other side, Enner Valencia and Alex Song smart signings.

Aaron Cresswell picks up a booking for a cynical trip on Adel Taarabt. The subsequent free-kick is curled in, but West Ham easily clear their lines.

It's all a bit too predictable from QPR now as Jordon Mutch becomes the latest to have a dig from range. Adrian is equal to the test.

"You cannot say Harry Redknapp hasn't tried. QPR are currently playing with four strikers, so credit to him. He has tried everything in terms of his substitutions but West Ham are more than good value for their 2-0 lead at the moment.

"QPR were very fortunate not to concede another through the Rob Green incident (61 mins), and apart from Niko Kranjcar's free-kick Adrian has not been tested at the other end."

Adel Taarabt does what he's been sent on to do - shimmies past a couple of defenders before smashing a shot wide of Adrian's goal.

Now QPR make their final change - Jordon Mutch returning from injury to replace Niko Kranjcar. Like for like really.

Which of the Premier League managers would get an invite to Big Sam's do? Arsene and Jose can both probably go, provided they behave themselves. Hopefully there will be no argy-bargy while the cabaret is on.

Back to more serious matters, Kevin Nolan is sent on for West Ham in place of Mauro Zarate.

Steve: Big Sam's birthday wish-list would include a paint by numbers, in different shades of grey only. When completed it might not be pretty but he's got a result. As for the party, Ivan Campo could make a guest appearance as a clown (based on physical appearance, not defensive competency I hasten to add).
