DREAM TICKET

Moyes: Think big and target Champions League spot

- RYAN TAYLOR

DAVID MOYES wants West Ham to dream of Champions League football.

And that starts when they travel to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United today, following a midweek FA Cup exit at Bristol City.

The Irons remain hot on the heels of London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham at the halfway mark of the Premier League season and Moyes sees no reason why West Ham can not apply further pressure in the race for Europe and beyond.

The 60-year-old Scot said: “I’m always going to challenge if we can.

“Last year or the year before we were in the top four for a period and everyone was talking about the Champions League. For me to come out and say that today I could still be laughed at the same way. 

“But I’m going to do it. “I am not going to come out and say, ‘I want to finish seventh’ - I’m going to say, ‘I want to finish first’.
