West Ham United manager David Moyes has fired a warning to the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea that he likes the sound of his side being considered as Champions League contenders. Moyes, who steered Everton to their highest-ever Premier League placing of fourth in 2004/05, finishing above their Champions League-winning neighbours, admits that it feels great just to be part of the conversation again.
David Moyes said: “Overall I am thrilled to get the results we have, especially this week – they have been big results. We are into the period now where you take one game at a time, this is new for us and new for this club for a long time being up there. It sounds great that people are even considering us that we could be Champions League contenders and I think that in itself is making the league exciting. It is a great time for West Ham supporters as we want to try and do it. We want to try and be in European football of some sort and I think if we do that it would be a great achievement.”
