Nail the Hammers with a five star performance THERE may have been an end of season feel to Saturday’s game with Tottenham but do not expect that to be the case this weekend. Everton’s final home game of the season should have a carnival atmosphere, as it will be the last time the majority of supporters see the team before the trip to Wembley. But, aside from that, the pursuit of Aston Villa continues and David Moyes will be absolutely desperate to clinch fifth spot before the FA Cup final and, to achieve that, beating West Ham United is imperative. We are not a side that can switch our form on and off and to have any chance of beating Chelsea, we have got go into that game in the best possible form. So there are a number of reasons why David will be demanding a sparkling performance and, all being well, the players will deliver. I still think we will catch Villa and four points from the last two games should be enough. Drogba’s fury was understandable ALMOST a week has passed since the brouhaha at Stamford Bridge and still the furore surrounding Didier Drogba shows no sign of dying down. His behaviour was out of order and you cannot in any way, shape or form defend conduct that saw him swearing into a television camera and ranting manically at the referee Tom Henning Overbo. Equally, I wouldn’t try to condone Michael Ballack’s furious reaction to not getting a penalty in the dying seconds, as it sets the worst kind of example to impressionable kids. But, that said, I could understand the rage that Drogba and Ballack felt. There is nothing worse than feeling as if you have been robbed in a game and that clearly fuelled Drogba’s flames – it’s just sad that his emotions boiled over so much. When there is so much resting on a game and so much has been put into it, you cannot put into words how sickening it is to have a third party take it away. I know, then, where they were coming from.
