Forget the magic of the FA Cup, for West Ham the reality of what is likely to be a Championship fixture next season. An indicator that life in the second tier will be no cakewalk. That QPR took them to extra-time will do little for Nuno Espirito Santo's standing, despite a first win since 8 November. There were, though, positives to take in the performance of Taty Castellanos, the Argentinian striker who scored the Hammers' winning goal.

When you look at the bigger picture, there are so many people investing to come and watch us in the stadium or on TV. The product needs to be attractive and this is one of the areas that probably brings the entertainment down a little bit. I haven't had much time to think about the exact solution but I think there are other people who are thinking about that... hopefully!
"She has settled in really well," Ho told BBC Sport. "She is training really well and she has settled in with the players on the pitch. That is where she comes into her own a little bit, she is more relaxed there.

If you asked Harry Kane eight years ago 'do you think you'll end up at Bayern Munich?' He would probably have said no.
