Currently remaining tickets for tonight's crucial game against Freiburg for a place in the Europa League 1/4 finals are still available on General Sale, but with prices starting at £35 for Adults and £15 for Juniors.

Quite frankly that is ludicrous! With nearly 10,000 tickets unsold, surely the adult price should have been £20 or even lower and kids should have been only £1.00. OK, some people would moan about having paid more than late comers, but surely filling the Stadium is more important given the opportunity it gives the team to progress.

Hot on the heals of Rafa Benitez being sacked by Celta Vigo, after less than nine months. Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has resigned after a fifth defeat in six games in all competitions, Sarri jumped before he was pushed so essentially was sacked!

63 year old Benitez and 65 year old Sarri have both been linked with managing West Ham over the years, but surely given their age and their recent underwhelming results attained, neither will be on Tim Steidten and David Sullivan's short list to replace David Moyes.

Sometimes it's hard to be a 'realistic' Hammer, the reality of being a mid table team is that the club more often than not has to feed off scraps. So when the next transfer window opens, Tim Steidten will be set the unenviable task of making a 'silk(man) purse out of a sow's ear'!

He will have a bunch of players who have little to no value that he has to move on, while trying to retain the better ones, including the club's 'jewel in the crown' trio of Jarrod Bowen, Mo Kudus and Lucas Paqueta, not forgetting 'El Machin' Alvarez as well!
