West Ham go fourth!
West Ham are fourth in the table after a 0-0 draw with an injury-wracked, but still strong, Arsenal side overnight.
The East London club were, by many accounts, the better side, but chances were at a premium and the Hammers might be slightly disappointed not to leave with an extra two points after two penalty claims were denied and substitute Bobby Zamora headed wide near the full-time whistle.
Teddy Sheringham sent a free-kick just wide in the first half and Benayoun saw his shot saved after the break, but most shots were limited to outside the area for both teams and the tie ended scoreless.
Alan Pardew called it a "game of defences" and praised the work done by the West Ham back four.

I watched the game - we totally tore them apart at times and edged the game. Both sides played with a lot of energy and effort but both lacked in the final product. WHen I went to bed we were 3rd last night before the Bolton v Portsmouth game finished. CL here we come :-)

Just saw the 6 minute highlights. Konchy and Matty look real class. Teddy's yellow wasn't deserved either. Poor marking by Danny and/or Anton for Ljungberg's run near the end - a bit lucky to get away with that. However they seemed to have defended very very well for the rest of the game.
Well done Hammers!
