Amistosos que engordan la billetera, adelgazan el prestigio (y la cotización) de próximos amistosos y manifiestan la desorientación de Sergio Batista (DT) a la hora de definir a qué jugar.

Nigeria thrashed Argentina 4-1 at the Abuja National Stadium tonight, with goals from Ike Uche 2, Victor Obinna and Emanuel Emunike who scored the goal of the game.

However Argentina only fielded two player's who are named for their up-coming Copa America squad but the history books won't read that as Nigeria beat the Puma's for the very first time in their history albeit it only a friendly.

In an attempt to justify the fact that the West Ham top brass decided, with one game left to play, that sacking Avram Grant in the tunnel at the DW Stadium was the classiest course of action to take, vice-chairwoman Karren Brady has spoken out in defense of her reprehensible cohorts claiming that the board did everything in their power to support Grant this season.

With it being February the league is just over halfway complete. Accordingly, I thought I'd choose the eleven players that have impressed me the least this Premier League season. Consider it a mid-term report of sorts.

Could your club or favorite player be one of the 11 featured?

Cutting through the exotic monikers of Premier League imports so you can judge the player, not the name West Ham have been looking like they would need some divine intervention to stop them being relegated to the Championship this season, and it turns out they have just the right man to provide this.

BIRMINGHAM, England — Nikola Zigic gave Birmingham City a 1-0 away to West Ham on Sunday that moved the Blues out of the relegation zone and dropped their fellow strugglers to the foot of the Premier League table. The giant Zigic secured a precious three points for the Blues, now 16th in the standings, when [.

LONDON, England Manchester City lost ground to local rivals Manchester United in the Premier League title race after twice giving up the lead in a 2-2 draw away to Birmingham on Tuesday. A share of the spoils at St Andrew's left Roberto Mancini's men eight points behind leaders United, having played a game more [.

BIRMINGHAM, England Birmingham's Craig Gardner booked a League Cup final showdown against Arsenal as his extra-time goal sealed a 3-1 victory over West Ham in Wednesday's semi-final second leg that secured a 4-3 aggregate win. Gardner, a boyhood Birmingham fan, capped an impressive fightback from Alex McLeish's side, who can now look forward to [.

Newly-instated Liverpool messiah Kenny Dalglish has scheduled a meeting with the club's American owners (including owner John Henry, who flew in from the States on Tuesday) later today, and the national press have had a field day ruminating over the fact that the Scot may use the opportunity to ask for a scheisse-load of cash to spend on a scheisse-load of players.

Avram Grant was in fighting mood for once after West Ham's slightly jammy win against Birmingham in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final. Speculation that Grant is not long for Upton Park is still rife, prompting Grant to counter: "We're one point from Wigan, Fulham and other teams but with them everything is quiet.

There may have been am element of luck involved but Carlton Cole's 78th minute winner must have given manager Avram Grant some much needed breathing space as rumours continue to circulate concerning the future of the Israeli and his job as West Ham manager. A hard working display from The Hammers who played out the last 30 minutes with ten men after Victor Obinna red card saw them pick up a 2-1 victory over another team flirting with relegation, Birmingham City, whilst giving them the advantage going into the second leg of The Carling Cup and a potential trip to Wembley on February 27th.

Like a Hammer to the groin West Ham forward Victor Obinna saw red during last night's Carling Leg semi-final first-leg victory over Birmingham City. The Nigerian petulantly flicked his foot up behind him to give Sebastian Larsson a swift kick to the crown jewels. Fortunately for the loanee, his side went on to win the [.

LONDON, England Ben Foster handed under-pressure Avram Grant a lifeline with a huge error to gift 10-man West Ham a narrow 2-1 lead going into the second leg of their Carling Cup semi-final against Birmingham. The England stopper, who produced a series of stunning saves in the first half, failed to control Carlton Cole's [.

Under pressure Avram Grant saw his West Ham side beat Birmingham City 2-1 in the first leg of their English League Cup semi-final.

West Ham took a deserved lead on 13 minutes when Mark Noble drove a ferocious shot through a throng of Birmingham bodies to make it one nil. West Ham continued to pile on the pressure but they could not get a second goal past Ben Foster as denied Spector, James Tomkins and, most impressively, Obinna all in the first half.
