Hammers Out Of League Cup
The Hammers put in a positive performance and arguably provided the majority of the attacking thrust in their quarterfinal game of the League Cup against Tottenham, seeking their first berth in the semi-finals since 2013/14, when they had also played Tottenham in the fifth round.
But different from the match on 18 December 2013, when Sam Allardyce’s Hammers, courtesy of goals from Matt Jarvis (80) and Modibo Maiga (85), came from behind to win 2-1 and proceeded to the semifinals, this time David Moyes’ team came out on the wrong end of a madcap quickfire exchange of goals midway through the first half: Steven Bergwijn side-footed the hosts ahead (29), Jarrod Bowen turned and finished neatly for the Hammers moments later (32) – and, almost immediately afterwards, Lucas Moura restored the hosts’ advantage from close range (34).
West Ham toiled and fought for a route back into the tie in a tighter second half, but came up against Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in inspired form, and ultimately could not find a second equaliser.
Hence, unfortunately David Moyes couldn’t match the League Cup quarterfinal success of his predecessors Avram Grant (2010) and “Big Sam” (2013) and still has to wait for his first semifinal with the Irons. With his former club Everton, the Scotsman has made it to a cup final once: in 2009 the Toffees were runners-up in the FA Cup, losing 1-2 to Chelsea in the final.

Best Place To Spend Christmas?
Things change quickly in these times of Corona. On 4 December, The Telegraph said that England was maybe “the best place to spend Christmas“.
Today Austria has declared UK, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands “high-risk areas” which means that from 25 December those entering Austria from these countries must be quarantined if they are not triple vaccinated and have a negative PCR test.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Stay at home and stay safe!
Umfrage: alles wurscht
Nach 22 Monaten Corona in Ăsterreich: Mehrheit ist schon alles egal! (Umfrage von “Heute”)
Dass dieses Wochenende in England die halbe Premier League-Runde abgesagt wurde, ist mir aber nicht wurscht! Dass angesichts der rasant steigenden Zahlen in England auch viele Klubs betroffen sind, verwundert nicht.
Aston Villa vs. Burnley sollte stattfinden, mal sehen …
Zwei Stunden vor dem Ankick wurde dann auch dieses Spiel abgesagt, weil Aston Villa keine Mannschaft mehr aufstellen konnte. Als einzige Partie am Samstag konnte Leeds vs. Arsenal gespielt werden.
Sechzehntelfinale? Nein, Play-Off & Achtelfinale!
Das europäische Cup-Geschehen wird immer komplizierter. So komplex ist das alles, dass nun bei der Auslosung der Champions League am Montag ein Fehler passierte, der eine Neuauslosung des Achtelfinales notwendig machte. Dem Ăśsterreichischen Vertreter Salzburg – das erste Mal in der K.O. Phase dabei – wurde daraufhin statt des in der ungĂźltig erklärten Ziehung zugelosten Gegners FC Liverpool im zweiten Anlauf Bayern MĂźnchen beschert.
Im Herbst 2018 schaffte Rapid in Didi KĂźhbauers erster Saison den zweiten Platz in der Europa League-Gruppe und stieg in das damalige Sechzehntelfinale auf!
Bei Europa League und erstmalig durchgefĂźhrter Conference League klappte dagegen die Auslosung, jedoch wurde weder ein Sechzehntelfinale (wie im Vorjahr) noch ein Achtelfinale ausgelost, sondern nur die neue Zwischenrunde, das sogenannte “Play-off”, in dem in jeweils acht Partien die Hälfte der Europa League- und Conference League-Achtelfinale-Teilnehmer ermittelt werden (Spieltermine: 17. und 24. Februar 2022).
Das Achtelfinale gegen die schon sicher in dieser Runde vertretenen Gruppensieger wird dann – im Gegensatz zu den schon jetzt feststehenden Paarungen in der Champions League – erst am 24. Februar gelost.
Tackling Omicron in the PL
New measures for Premier League players and fans
Premier League players and club staff will need to take a lateral flow test every day in order to get into training grounds as part of new Covid measures agreed on Tuesday.
From Wednesday, fans will need to show proof of double vaccination or a negative test to attend sporting events with crowds of more than 10,000 people in England. This includes Premier League games.
Will One Million Jabs A Day Save Us?
In the face of a âtidal waveâ of omicron cases, the Prime Minister unveiled a plan called âGet Boosted Nowâ.
đŚ https://youtu.be/APJu6FQpFRg
The Prime Minister hopes to avoid a New Year lockdown with an emergency programme to offer a âboosterâ to every eligible adult in England aged 18 or over by the end of the year. To hit this target, Boris Johnson said that it would be necessary to âmatch the NHSâs best vaccination day yet â and then beat it day after day.â
But within moments from making the broadcast, the NHS booking site crashed, the site was repeatedly overwhelmed and long queues were seen outside vaccination centres the next day.
Though itâs not clear yet if the vaccinations are effective against the transmission of the Omicron variant, letâs hope that despite a chaotic start the war against Omicron can be won by these booster jabs!
But donât forget in these challenging times that there is always hope, even in the most hopeless situations â God has got the whole world in his hands, and he never gonna let you down. God is madly in love with you, and there always is a light in the darkness!
We are going to celebrate the birth of our saviour in less than two weeks time, and you are already saved â by Jesus. Open your heart for Him! It is up to you to let Jesus in.
SCR schafft Aufstieg: Conference League, here we come!
West Ham dagegen tritt mit einem Team mit zahlreichen Academy-Spielern an und verliert zu Hause 0:1 gegen Dinamo Zagreb, die Hammers standen aber als Gruppensieger ohnehin schon fest! .
Weâre massive!
Even when West Ham lose, they set a European record:
Anyway, of course a defeat at home to Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday in the last European group game is no option! West Ham – even if they are going to play with a 2nd string team as they have already qualified for the next round – should try to keep their unbeaten record in the Europa League. And Iâm sure they will.
Come on you Irons!
