West Ham boss Grant keeps focus as beating the Blues his only concern

DEFIANT West Ham manager Avram Grant insists his only concern is guiding the Hammers into the Carling Cup final.

A recent upturn in fortunes on the pitch was marred by the 5-0 defeat at Newcastle, while Grant continues to find his own position making the headlines.

And while he was unimpressed that director Karren Brady revealed in her newspaper column why the club had pulled the plug on signing Steve Sidwell, the Israeli is not about to be distracted by reports of off-field issues at Upton Park.
