West Ham through in FA Cup
* West Ham bounced back to a 4-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers after conceding a goal within the first half-minute of the match. The game wasn't televised here so I can't comment on it except to say that Pardew has a real striker selection problem - of the good kind!
* Actually that's not quite true. I'd like to suggest the West Ham fans to get off Dailly's back - what has he done to earn your wrath? OK, he's no Zidane, but he has worked hard and played out of position.
* Yossi Benayoun is in trouble after allegedly talking with Hapoel Tel Aviv without West Ham's permission. The Israel club want to pay £8.5 million for the playmaker and Yossi is quoted as saying, "There were talks recently with Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem and when the offer is seriously put to the club rather than just me, I will think."
* West Ham have been linked with a move for Lille fullback Mathieu Chalme. The 25-year-old has Champions League experience against no lesser opposition than Manchester United, and is touted as a possible replacement for the departed Tomas Repka.

Lets hope there is nothing in the rumours in clubs chasing Yossi. I think he is a happy hammer but he does have a history of getting home sick and returning home. However this was mainly as a youth player and he is older and maturer now. Hammered

On Dailly: I agree with you Dave, he shouldn't be played unless we are in trouble, but we ARE in trouble defensively and it's totally not his fault he's being played. He should be off to a Championship club, but that doesn't mean he should be booed. Poor bastard, he was quite good for us in the Championship, and he's doing his best, but fans shouldn't be booing his every touch, that's just shit.
Yossi - coincidentally I had just been telling my missus that I wouldn't expect Yossi to be too loyal and 15 minutes later I saw the news on the web. I totally expect him to be off to Liverpool or Barca or somewhere eventually, but that's OK - as long as he does the job for us on the pitch and doesn't screw us over when he leaves. I'd rather he was honest than kiss the badge and then piss off...
