If only that can be the result this afternoon, as it was in the 1980 FA Cup Final.

But West Ham are playing well at the moment and I dont think anybody expected us to be second highest goal scorers and higher than Arsenal in the league. I’ll update with the score later. Wish the Hammers luck!

Update: Final score West Ham 0 - 0 Arsenal - That puts West Ham up into 3rd position, amazing!

For the chelsea fans out there. This was from Irish radio which has always seemed funnier than the British stations.

Two weeks into the new season and I’m doing very well in my fantasy football teams.

Daily Telegraph League: position 2864 (out of 260,000) , thats in the top 2%.
Kevin Isaac’s League: position 1 (out of only 9 this year).
Yahoo Fantasy Football: position 1030 (out of around 100,000), top 1%.
Free Fantasy Football: position 214 (out of ?? - probably 20,000), top 1%.

So its really going good this year but to make some cash I’d have to be moving up those leagues pretty sharpish. Next week I’ll take a bit of a hit due to not collecting any points last night but its a marathon, not a sprint. I’ll post updates next month.

Ah, what a great day! First game of our all-new run in the Premier League and we’re already at the top of the table. And knowing West Ham those will be three valuable points at the end of the season. Full match report here.

It seems that Teddy Sherringam, yes he is 39, was the catalyst for today’s goals and I’m glad we kept him in the team. Good to see Reo-Coker on the scoresheet too. An attendance of 33,000 at Upton Park too, and against Blackburn.

Its also a good day for my fantasy football teams as they all contain Darren Bent, who scored two, and Mido (two assists). If Chelski keep a clean sheet tomorrow and Henry or Fabregas knocks one in then I’ll be doing very well.
