Noble demands West Ham fans come good

Mark Noble has called on West Ham United fans to roar them up the table.

The midfielder felt Upton Park's crowd played a key role in their victory over Aston Villa in midweek.

"The confidence is up for Everton," said Noble, who enjoyed his own return to form against Villa. "It will be fantastic if they [the crowd] get behind us and drive us on to another win. It was so emotionally charged because we needed the win so much. It was brilliant and now, hopefully, we can kick on. It is an unbelievable feeling when you score a goal like that. You just feel like crying.

"The crowd were unbelievable and they didn't get on our backs. That is what we need with what we are going through at the moment. I feel I have got a right to say that because I am a West Ham fan and I have been brought up round here."
