Curbs Puts In His Two Cents

Just in case anyone was wondering who Javier Mascherano owed for playing in tomorrow's match against Milan, it's none other than Alan Curbishley. The West Ham manager felt it was his duty to stroke his ego remind the world that if it wasn't for him, the Argentine would still be sitting on the bench at Upton Park. Sure, he wouldn't have played had he stayed in London anyways, but it's nice to know that Curbishley will be taking the credit for letting the chap move on to greener pastures.

What a guy.
