Vladimir Coufal played the entire 90 minutes of the Czech Republic's 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Estonia in Prague, Alex Král played 60 minutes and Tomas Soucek didn't play at all! This is good news for David Moyes,Vlad the Impaler was in need of some competitive game time, as was Alex Král.

On the other hand, Tomas Soucek who was in need of a bit of a break was rested entirely, even better news. Perhaps his manager's decision not to play him might have something to do with Hammers new found entente cordial with the Czechs?

West Ham United's most closely linked website Claret & Hugh, were well placed enough to be told directly that the UEFA imposed ban on travelling fans was in fact a correctly reached decision, despite the inconvenience and financial loss hundreds of fans will face.

UEFA have fined West Ham just under £30,000 and banned them from selling tickets to fans for their next Europa League game which is the away tie against Rapid Vienna, as a result of “crowd disturbances” in their last European tie in Genk and at the previous Europa Cup league game at home against Rapid Vienna.
