West Ham boss David Moyes has urged his players to keep fighting for European qualification.

Moyes insists decisions aren't going with them. Of West Ham's last eight red cards in the Premier League have been overturned.

"We can only keep fighting, keep pushing on and try to challenge [at the top of the league]," Moyes insisted.

"They can't surely be right, the numbers that we've had are so poor.

"Maybe all the teams in the Premier League have had similar stats and if they have then I take it back and apologise but it sounds like a very big stat, for any club."

The Hammers have been made to play last out of the other European contenders on numerous occasions this season, making it difficult to put down a marker.

"I'm a pretty neutral football person," Moyes explained.

"I don't look at things too badly but I look at it and I've certainly seen it when I came into the club, I saw things that I don't think are right. Or a lot of the early part of the season we had early games and we got results in, but it looks like we're slipping back into a 'Monday night, 8:15 at Burnley'.

"The fixtures have been difficult for everyone this year, not just West Ham.

"There are so many clubs who have been disappointed with the timings. As we all know it is to do with the situation with TV. You would hope that they had been fair with everybody.

"There has just been a general feeling. Maybe I'm wrong, I would accept that.

"The stats regarding the sending offs makes me think, 'hang on a minute here, there's something not quite right'.

"I'll stand corrected if you turn around and say all the other clubs in the Premier League have had the same stat."
