After his hat-trick at the weekend, I'm surprised it took West Ham three quarters of the game to work out that hoofing it to Carroll was their best option.
Three successive home games v bottom half sides Villa, Palace & Leicester should be a big step towards CL football next season.
I hope that you're right about the last one and I suspect that you are about the other two. Villa are pathetic and Palace have forgotten where the goal is. Van Gaal will probably do something utterly mental, though.
Their CL run might prove a useful distraction. I don't think they multitask these days - especially as their half fit stars will be saved for the CL games.
That was part of the plan. Shows what I know as I thought (feared?) the Spammers might be the ones to stop them.
McCarthy's been sent off in the game that nobody cares about and most people have forgotten. Big chance for Palace to reach the 40 point mark.
Neymar with a cynical, frustrated foul and then he goes in two footed on someone else. Yellow. So, so bent.
What was worse... The west ham official twitter feed wumming united about the kick off time? West ham playing one of their worst games of the season in their last ever cup game there? The interview at ht on the BBC with the West ham owner where he claimed they'd win? Glad united won...more chance of LVG staying for next season if they win the cup!
