Hammers exit from the League Cup (using it's proper name) was on the face of it extremely disappointing, however the early exit may have some benefit. In previous seasons West Ham United have progressed through the early rounds with ease, only to run out of steam towards the final. During each of the cup runs, the club earned extra revenue and the fans got the chance to see the odd glimmer of hope, but the eventuality was the squad was stretched to the limit with injuries and suspensions taking their toll leading to a dip in League form.

Atmosphere, Ionosphere And Stratosphere! That is where bubbles go! Of course they fade and die, but while they fly they nearly reach the sky, currently, on their way, West Ham United have encountered and beaten three of the best teams in the Barclays Premier League on their travels.
