For West Ham United, the top priority this season should be staying up in the Premier League. As they are only out of the drop zone due to goal differential right now, this will be no slam dunk. If David Moyes is to save his job, then this is the main “goal” they need to accomplish.
That said, finally winning a trophy, after low these many years, would be a pretty nice thing too. Barring disaster, the Hammers should move on to the conference league quarters.
