Morning all.

There were some interesting results in the Premier League yesterday. Two teams who have still to face Man City were in action, and the ideal situation for would have been for them to enjoy confidence boosting wins ahead of those difficult fixtures. It’s fair to say it didn’t turn out that way.

West Ham, who play City on the final day, got beaten 5-0 by Chelsea. A result which says a lot more about the Hammers than it does anything else. They’ll more than likely have a new manager next season, European football looks a long-shot now, and they are – as the old cliche goes – on the beach now.
