West Ham manager Sam Allardyce seems it's been apretty scarya to see Manchester United's prominence of the Barclays Premier League this season. The Red Devils might stretch their lead at the top of the table to 18 points with success at Upton Park tomorrow, which will leave them within touching distance of the concept yet again. Allardyce believes the way Sir Alex Ferguson's men have gone about wrestling back virtue from competitors Manchester City, spearheaded by the objectives of A24million striker Robin van Persie, has been awe inspiring. "I think you have to state since it has ever been because nobody generally wins the name so easily and by so big a, or has this much of a margin at this level of the season," said Allardyce the (United) team is as great. "It is very frightening what whole they could actually end with. "Manchester United have been remarkable and it is been about how their squad rotation has been Sir Alex's masterpiece as usual, about playing the right group at the right time. "I guess you can say that because they got knocked out of the Champions League only a little sooner than normal and because they got knocked out of the FA Cup and Capital One Cup, it has given them the strength and power to be what they're in the Barclays Premier League this season. "They haven't had the standard focus on 3 or 4 contests almost to the end, the focus has come on the Premier League and they've just breezed it. "They have just gone 'boom' and everyone can't get near them." Inspite of the big difference in school involving the two sides, West Ham have pushed United in most of the meetings this year - coming within moments of knocking the Red Devils out of the FA Cup next round at home in January before Van Persie dispatched a brilliant equaliser deeply into stoppage time. "We will be needing to be on our most useful form, as always, when we are to get anything," said Allardyce, who has defensive issues tomorrow with damage to James Tomkins. "We have run them close three times this year, so we can provide as good a as we gave in the last three (games )." While West Ham may not get anything out of tomorrow's match, with 38 points they should pretty much you shouldn't be pulled to the scrap for survival over their final half-dozen games. But, Allardyce said: "With all the bottom sides seeming to be picking up more points today than they have done for the others of the growing season, I'd say we're another couple of points off being positively safe." The Irons, though, also remain within striking distance of the top half, which could represent an extraordinary achievement from Allardyce's team on a first season back in the top flight. "We have got four home games and two away, so we have an opportunity (to get involved with the top ten), but I do believe we are planning to have to get three and draw two out from the last six," he said. "Manchester City away and Everton away are tough, tough games in addition to Manchester United at home. "In reality they'll all be tough, even Wigan who are now ready, as a result of being in the FA Cup final, points to achieve on others and that they have games to get up. "That places the force to them, so that they will all be really tough fits but see where we go." and hopefully we can get a couple Philadelphia
