Intro:

Reaction after Manchester City defeat West Ham United 9-0 on aggregate in their Capital One Cup semi-final at Upton Park

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, West Ham United Manager:

"We did some god things obviously. I think we had some good attacking moments but we haven't scored and at the other end we have probably made too many mistakes because even as good a run and finish as (Alvaro) Negredo's second one was it was all about us relinquishing possession of the ball in our own half. If you do that at this level then you see what happens to you...you get punished."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, West Ham United Manager:

"Well there are 16 games and 22 points in it and it is that simple now. Doesn't matter where you get them or how you get them or who you get them against as long as you get them. You don’t need to keep talking about what position you are in the league or where you are in the league. The bottom line is it is not about what the league position says, it is the points total per game and it always will do."
