Wham were just above the drop zone and we were in it when we played you at Upton Park. I was in the City end, packed as usual, we went a goal behind, you lot started singing, "Going down, going down, going down!" We all replied with, "So are we, so are we, so are we!" Actually we did go down, you didn't, but that's football. I expect you to have a decent end to the season, you have a strong manager who knows how to keep a side which isn't blessed with the greatest amount of quality in the PL.

I actually think Dzeko did o.k when on the ball yesterday, could have been more involved possibly but i thought his hold up play was much better.

West Ham will stay up I would imagine. In terms of defenders, I really dont think we will sell this window but Kolo might be a possibility in the summer. You might be thinking someone like Kompany but we have to be realistic, Lescott at a push maybe, although I wouldnt want us to sell him personally.

I think the scoring of the 2 goals at the weekend, is what has made people stand up and question this possibility. It is definitely true that much is built around the Ivorian and so if he doesnt play well it can have a really negative impact. If he returns from the ACN and Silva and our overall form dips, then his place in the team has to be seriously under question, not that Mancini would dream of dropping him though Difficult to say if Silvas form is down to Yaya’s absence, personally I believe Silva was playing very well before Toure left for Africa.
