West Ham's lost weekend

 

Well, West Ham United's weekend did not go well.   They lost to Everton 1-0, and Liverpool beat Southampton 2-0.    And Manchester United's makeup game with Liverpool was rescheduled for this coming Tuesday (tomorrow as I write this), and two days later they play the scheduled game with Leicester City.    Now, actually, I think West Ham's Championship League chances are over, so the LC game is less important, but the fact that the Man U coach said he might not put his best team on the field for one of these two games prompted a bit of a blowback from West Ham's coach David Moyes (who used to coach Man U, by the way):

David Moyes questions the 'integrity' of the Premier League's decision to make Manchester United play two of West Ham's Champions League rivals in the space of 48 hours: 'I don't know if there was a better way to sort the fixtures out'


Meanwhile, Chelsea defeated Manchester City, aided by a penalty call that wasn't made and should have been, so Manchester City hasn't officially clinched the Premier League title yet.  But they will.
