Curbs: cup run can revitalise Hammers

WEST HAM manager Alan Curbishley believes an FA Cup run would help galvanise the club in their fight against relegation from the Premiership. The Hammers enjoy a break from the frenzy of the Premiership dogfight to take on Watford in the fourth round of the FA Cup today.

And Curbishley is confident a victory could spark the change in fortune his side so badly needs.

“West Ham fans realise more than most what a cup run can do. It galvanised the club last year when they reached the final,” said Curbishley.
