City 1- 0 West 'armm

And on we go to face Sheff U.

Martin Petrov carries on his personal crusade to be personally involved via assists or goals in more attacking intent than a whole team showed last year.

In truth West Ham could have been 2/3 -o up before we decided to make a game of it in the last half hour. Petrov and Bianchi, who must have finally put down his marker for the centre forward spot along with a bubbly Micah Richards at the back finally started to hit the heights we know they can. Of course the goal was scored by the mercurial Elano who started way way to deep to effect the game.

And although West Ham may have cause to complain, they only have themselves to blame for poor finishing and its hard to feel sorry for any team that contains the likes of the ever horrible Boa Morte, Lucas Neill whose second bite at Castillo resulted in a dislocated shoulder and that absolute c**t Anton Ferdinand 'Elbow Elbow; he screams at the ref , replays prove otherwise. West Ham pride themselves on been an 'Academy' , probably of cheating nowadays.

3 points on Sunday would be nice to rub the drugs cheats little c**t of a brother's nose in it.
