Grant: Blackpool rock!
Avram Grant is in no doubt Blackpool are "the team of the season" - but has challenged West Ham to show their own top-flight qualities and secure a crucial victory in the battle for survival.
Ian Holloway's men have confounded the critics who expected them to be propping up the Barclays Premier League rather than the Irons.
However, Grant feels his squad - which has been boosted by the arrival of Robbie Keane, Demba Ba and Gary O'Neil - can produce the necessary performance as they fight to get out of trouble.
"For me, Blackpool are the team of the season and Ian Holloway is the manager of the season," the West Ham manager said.
"They did miracles because everyone predicted they would quickly be on their way to the Championship again, and also I like how they play football."
Grant continued: "We need to continue like we have been doing in the past few weeks. We have played against teams around us, have played well and taken points. We have four good strikers now, and it is better I have this problem than it was before. I think now you will see improvement in all areas of the team."
