Kids can prove their worth in kid games. If they are good enough (like Lopez), Pellers will give them appropriate time in grown men games.

Thirded. Got to be professional about it and I reckon West Ham might have a new boss by then.

Start Lopes should be obvious. While not a youngster I wonder if Guidetti could get a game.

Seems Hammers are struggling to sell tickets. Hardly surprising starting at £42, with a shit team 6-0 down and with this cup being a poor attraction anyway.

Hard sell: West Ham take out full-page ad for return leg tickets against City
9 Jan 2014 10:26

The advertisement appeared in London editions of the Metro offering tickets for children from £24 and adults from £42 just a day after City crushed West Ham 6-0


West Ham may not have been expecting a result against Manchester City on Wednesday but they were probably hopeful of still being in the tie.

That doesn't look to be the case now after Manuel Pellegrini's side scored six times to take a seemingly insurmountable advantage to Upton Park for the second leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final.

The tennis scoreline makes it unfortunate for West Ham, who took out a full-page advertisement in London editions of the Metro newspaper on Wednesday promoting tickets for the return game.

Announcing that tickets are on general sale, it offers junior tickets from £24 and adults from £42.

The ad also promotes the home tie against Newcastle three days earlier.

I was going to go to this game is the match was in the balance and the boys needed the support, however, with Barca (away) and wembley on the horizon as well as being in the FA Cup scheme, I really cannot bring myself to beg the missus to let me spend more money after last nights result.

On the return leg itself, I think we will see the Irons put out a similar side that played Forest. BFS will not care about the scoreline too much and Neither will pellegrini, I can see them Sending Karen Brady on all fours to beg/coerce someone at city to play a very under strength team.... however, eeze not possible, we will play a mix of the second string and a couple of youngsters. Everyone coming back to fitness will be given a good run out and be told to avoid silly challenges.

I booked Park Inn, Watford, for me and Stupot before the game. At £24.50 each with breakfast chucked in, it was worth a risk. It's weird to be able to truat the team to keep their side of the bargain. Love it.

Erik, as you know the spare seasoncard is half mine half Stu's. He might want the ticket for his son and he obviously has first dibs on it. I shall have a chat with him as to whether that is the case and let you know.

Thinking of it, I booked hotel for two of us. So it's unlikely Little Shauny is coming.
