Carlton Cole has no problem with West Ham United's boo boys.

Cole accepts it is the player's responsibility to earn the supporters praise.

"If we are playing well, the fans will be on our side. If we're not playing well, we don't deserve the fans to be on our side. That's how it is," he said.

"The West Ham fans are passionate. They know what they want to see. We shouldn't be in the position we are in - everyone needs to pull in the same direction."
