Für Curbs war es das letzte Match als Manager, am 3. September 2008 trat er wegen der gegen seinen Willen erfolgten Transfers von Ferdinand und McCartney zu Sunderland zurück.
Und heute, Samstag, kommt eine durch zahlreiche Verletzungen dezimierte Hammers-Elf nach Blackburn, das mittlerweile von Sam Allardyce trainiert wird und immer noch gegen den Abstieg kämpft - obwohl man zuletzt gegen Fulham und Hull gewonnen und gegen Everton remisiert hat; gegen Arsenal gab's dann aber wieder eine 0:4-Niederlage.
Bei West Ham sitzen vier Youngsters auf der Bank: Sears, Payne, N'Gala und Stanislas. In der Mannschaft stehen statt der Verletzten Upson und Collison Spector und Boa Morte, für den gesperrten Cole startet Tristan.
Mit einem Unentschieden wäre man in diesem Auswärtsspiel zufrieden, meinen viele. Aber gerade gegen die Rovers gab's zuletzt immer volle Erfolge (siehe oben). Kommt Blackburn also wieder einmal zur rechten Zeit?
Ja, tatsächlich! Die Hammers gehen in Führung!!!
34:37 GOAL Blackburn 0-1 West HamRovers have been all over West Ham, but they find themselves behind. Luis Boa Morte goes on a good run down the right and lays it back for Diego Tristan, who rolls it into the path of Mark Noble and the young midfielder expertly clips it with the outside of his foot into the far corner. Lovely finish.

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola:
"I think there might have been a penalty for us as well when Kieron Dyer was fouled so that would balance it out.
"When you have got a big team like they are who boom balls into the box it is not easy for anybody.
"My team were excellent really and it is a pity we did not have the extra strength that might have allowed us to cause them a few more problems. But it was a close game and both teams could have won it."
