Green bounces back

Rob Green showed everyone he is still one of the best English keepers around with a stunning display in West Ham’s 1-0 win over Tottenham last weekend. The keeper showed his delight at silencing his critics with a gesture aimed at the press box after the game. Fortunately for Green, the FA have said the keeper won't face any disciplinary action over the gesture. It was clear from Green's reaction to the final whistle how much the clean sheet meant to him after a horrendous few months and the best football predictions suggest he could now go on a good run.

It all started going wrong for Green during the summer. After a good season for West Ham, Green started the tournament as England's first choice stopper. Then Green produced one of the all time World Cup blunders and was dropped from the first team. Following England's early exit from South Africa, Green found himself dropped from the England squad entirely, even when Joe Hart was the only fit goalie and Capello was forced to call up two Under-21 keepers to train with the full squad.

As well as his international troubles, Green and West Ham have had a dreadful start to the new season under their new manager, Avram Grant. Green has looked to be suffering from a major confidence issue and has been at fault more than once already this season and the Premier League betting tips suggest they are in for a hard season.

The Spurs victory was The Hammer's first win of the campaign and took them off the bottom of the table. Green will be hoping he can continue his good form and that his team can get clear and stay clear of the relegation places.
