Well Hammers joint-chairman David Sullivan definitely thinks so. 

"In football, we're here to dream," he said.  

"We're very, very optimistic. I'm not talking it down. I want to talk it up.

"I mean look at what's gone wrong with Chelsea - that looked an impossibility - so why shouldn't the opposite happen to us?"

West Ham go into Saturday's match away to Watford in third place, two points behind leaders Manchester City.

Earlier we heard Newcastle defender Mike Williamson has joined Championship club Wolves on a one-month loan deal.

He's since been talking about the now ex-Magpies boss John Carver suggesting he'd gotten himself sent off on purpose as an "easy way out" of a 3-0 defeat by Leicester last season.

"It's in the past, it was a difficult time and there was a lot of pressure on people's shoulders. People react in different ways," Williamson said. 

"It's gone now though. Now it's an opportunity to play football. My chances have been limited and it's frustrating but is part of the job. It's a fresh challenge."

Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has been declared bankrupt in the wake of losing an £18m damages claim.

Ticketing firm Ticketus successfully sued the 44-year-old for damages in 2013 over his part in the takeover of the Ibrox club in 2011.

The bankruptcy petition was filed at the High Court in London after Mr Whyte did not pay a judgment debt, plus costs and interest, currently worth £20.8m.

Mr Whyte also faces criminal charges over his part in the Rangers takeover.

“I always work positively. I expect me and my team to do well. I am confident," he said. 

"It’s very important to be positive and it’s important the players feel that. I’m happy. This is about the whole club. We are a family.”

Fifa should repay the money spent by Australia on itsfailed 2022 World Cup bid,according to a whistleblower who worked on the campaign.

Suspended Fifa presidentSepp Blatterhas suggested there was a pre-vote agreement for the USA to host the 2022 event before voting swung to Qatar.

Bonita Mersiades, former head of communications for Australia's bid team, called the vote a "busted flush".

Australia spent more than A$45m (£20.9m) of public money on its bid.

Which non-footballer would you choose to take a penalty?

Ryan Hooper: For me it's gotta be Ronnie O'Sullivan. Cool under pressure and never misses.

James Dexter: I'd pick Ross Kemp, he'd deliver a Julian Dicks rocket and the keeper would feign a save.

Asked if it was fair on Russia's rivals that Blatter and the "big players" had agreed to choose Russia before the vote, Stohlker replied: 

"That is a good question - but there is a saying that fairness is only between equals. 

"I think the rivals of Russia,  including England are not content with this pro-Russia decision."

Another day, yet more incredible revelations at Fifa. 

Yesterday we had Sepp Blatter suggesting the decision to choose Russia as hosts of the 2018 World Cup was decided in advance of any vote. 

He also said a late swing in voting undid a similar agreement to hand the 2022 staging to the USA.

Today, his spokesman Klaus Stohlker has been speaking to Martyn Ziegler at Press Association sport, and this is what he is quoted as saying.

"Before the decision was taken, in the case of Russia and the USA, there were 'behind-the-curtain' talks. 

"It was not everyone in the Fifa executive committee but it was the big players that had these talks."

Former Manchester United midfielderPaul Scholessays he "would not enjoy" playing in Louis van Gaal's side.

Scholes said their defence is "coached brilliantly" but bemoaned the team's style of play.

"There's a lack of creativity and risk," said Scholes, who played 718 games for United. "It's a team now you wouldn't want to play against because they're tightly organised.

"But it seems he [Van Gaal] doesn't want players to beat men and it's probably not a team I'd have enjoyed playing in."

The latest word from Spanish sports daily AS, external suggests Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola (formerly of Barcelona of course) is looking to sign a Real Madrid player.

The man in question? Right-back Dani Carvajal, 23, who spent the 2012-13 season in the Bundelisga with Bayer Leverkusen.

English referees, you don't know how good you've got it, being shouted at by two different sets of fans and players every week. Lovely. 

On Wednesday a Turkish match official was locked in Trabzonspor's stadium for several hours after making a controversial late penalty decision.

Cagatay Sahan and his assistants were held on the orders of club president Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu after failing to award the hosts a late spot-kick in their 2-2 draw with Gaziantepspor.

Haciosmanoglu claims he only allowed the officials to leave after a call from the country's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The Turkish Football Federation has launched an investigation.
