Curbs: "We haven't done anything yet"

With everything to play for in this week's crucial final match of the season against Manchester United, Alan Curbishley insisted: "We haven't done anything yet."

"We have to get something from our game at Old Trafford," he added. "Or we have to hope something else goes our way. We have given ourselves a chance and that was all we could do. The question is: can we grab it this weekend?"

And Curbs is keen to get the game underway. "We've been in the bottom three and facing the threat of relegation for so long and it's all going to be sorted out at the weekend.

"We are looking forward to it. Obviously we hope that it falls in our favour. In a funny sort of way you get to the end of the season and a lot of people are looking forward to their break. I feel quite refreshed about it all so we're going into it a little bit different."

In spite of all the speculation surrounding the final round of Premiership fixtures this Sunday, Curbs insists his focus is solely on the Hammers.

"There's been lots of talk this week about the match between Sheffield United and Wigan," he said. "They have to do what they have to do. I don't think Sheffield United will forget what happened to them a few years ago when they were relegated on the final day.

"I think they have to go and do their job because it's hurt them before. Wigan know what they've got to do as well. If we pick anything up at all then we've done our job and that's what we've got to focus on.

"We've got to concentrate on ourselves and not have an eye out for what's going on elsewhere. Nothing else matters other than us getting our result."
