West Ham are a decent team these days. They can play a variety of styles to a high standard. Tough team to beat. If they do well in the transfer window they could be dark horses next season.
The winner of the EL gets a separate spot straight into the group stages. As the others have said it won't effect our top 4 places
Then there's the one about Fergie meeting Pochettino for a meal (not sure if it was dinner or tea!). So, **** know's really. There are exactly that, rumours.
At the end of the day - what a drama the West Ham fans made of leaving Upton Park. It has been re-modelled so many times and was still a crap ground, most of them are glad to see that back of it. Just be grateful that the RS are doing up Anfield instead of moving to a new ground - just imagine the 100's of hours of tear-jerking programmes on global TV we would have had to endure for that world-changing event.
