The game v Everton yesterday was a sobering experience. The Euro game in Greece (6000 mile round trip) looked to have knocked the pan out of West Hams regulars, with Micky in particular looking in need of a week at the beach. Should have left him in Greece! Hes 34 now, and hes playing the most demanding role on the pitch, no wonder he needs a break sometimes. Most of the others were 10% down, and Everton had had a weeks break after their best result of the season. I hope Moyes plays the reserves v Arsenal… Maybe he can talk Arteta into replaying the Youth Cup Final!
