It's looking so bleak for Hammers now after Spurs cash in on feeble Villa's Europa distraction
The Gtech was a grim place for the Hammers this weekend For Spurs, it was just the perfect time to play Aston Villa. For West Ham, it was maybe the worst time to take on a Brentford side eyeing a crack at European football for the first time. Tottenham travelled to Villa Park on Sunday night with an extra spring in their step after seeing the Hammers cave in 3-0 at the Gtech to the ambitious Bees. It gave them the chance to overtake their east London rivals and get out of the

Seismic disaster(s) or stuff of legend for Premier League London clubs? Capital Football runs the rule ahead of the run-in
By Alessandro Schiavone While Arsenal look increasingly likely to cement their serial bottlers status once more on current form following their 2-1 defeat at Man City yesterday, their hated rivals from down the road Tottenham Hotspur are flirting with a shock relegation, and two-time European kings Chelsea could miss out on the Champions League once again, with fifth-placed Liverpool now holding a SEVEN-point lead.

Draw specialists Brentford unable to cash in on second half superiority as Leno ensures Fulham clean sheet
On sale today : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Brentford 0 Fulham 0 A frantic game full of good intentions meandered to the conclusion which had looked on the cards almost from the word go. The Bees will feel they did enough to pinch it towards the end - when it needed a superb Bernd Leno save to ensure parity - but this was game of modest and only fleeting excitement. For once, Harry Wilson was not able to turn the game Fulham's way. He had scored in the previous three

Exclusive Van den Berg: Brentford want the Champions League, it's fun proving wrong people that had us relegated
Capital Football have exclusively spoken to Brentford defender Sepp Van den Berg. Here is what he said. One point. It could have been three. It probably feels like zero. "No, let's be honest one point is better than zero. But I know what you mean. I think in the second-half we played very well and I think we should have scored the 3-1. But of course if you concede a late goal like this it feels very bad. It feels disappointing and we all are. If we win this game against Evert

'I want us to keep pushing' - Andrews talks about Brentford's Euro ambitions, Thiago, and Ouatarra
The Bees missed a great opportunity to grab another win in their quest to qualify for Europe, but boss Keith Andrews believes his team can still get there with the right mindset as they enter the final furlongs. He saw his side take control with two first-half goals and they looked well on course for three points against the Premier League's bottom club, but they let Wolves back into it with a goal just before the interval and fell away in the second half to draw 2-2. "The f

Brentford's 'Ignore us at your peril' message diluted by loss of 2-0 lead in their quest for Euro qualification
