I stand by that statement. Sven's City side would be in the Champions League places with a win tomorrow. Their squad was utter shit when Sven took over. I think that is more impressive than any other managers' accomplishments. As far as West Ham, their success, such as it is, has been due to stellar away form. I don't really expect that to continue.

Man U's first goal was against the run of play. West Ham could/ should have had 2 by then. and the handball was questionable, and clearly not intentional. Man U played well early in the second, but faded. I see you gave Curbs, worst in the league... clearly you have something against the East London squad. Because if you look at the talent on the pitch at present, Curbs has worked wonders. Yeah he's signed some players who gave landed hurt, but when you consider what you can get as a team that nearly went down-its what you get. over priced and run down. Curbs may be a stubborn caution first manager, but perspective of one year proves his worth. and the glimmer on Sven is dulling quickly... Elano has looked average, and players want out... I'd put money on West Ham finishing above City. You clearly didn’t watch the West Ham V Man U match. Man U’s first goal was against the run of play.
