West Ham boss Grant insists pressure goes with job

West Ham United boss Avram Grant insists being under pressure goes with the job.

He shrugged off the pressure which sees West Ham face a Fulham side, just one spot outside the relegation zone, without a win in their last 27 away league matches.

Grant said: "We want to play like we did last week when we were better than Blackburn and we want to take points because we need them.

"I think Mark Hughes (Fulham manager) is under pressure, but Wolves are under pressure, Wigan are under pressure, Blackburn are under pressure and at the top the six teams are under pressure.

"This is the name of the game. We are under pressure to take points because we are at the bottom.

"We don't deserve to be at the bottom, having analysed our games, but there are no points awarded for 'deserve'."
