Blunt David Moyes insists West Ham's run is no surprise as he shuts down Europa League fairytale narrative

Confident David Moyes insists he's not surprised at West Ham 's superb season so far.

The East London side have been a resurgent force under the Scot and are on course to qualify for Europe for the second season in a row.

They have also performed well in the Europa League joining Rangers in the last four and can still make the final despite Thursday night's narrow defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

It's been a strong season for the Hammers but Moyes insists he saw it coming before a ball was kicked.

He was asked if he thought before the season that they would be where they are now, seventh in the Premier League and in the semis of the Europa League.

And he bluntly responded: "Yeah, I did."

West Ham face Arsenal on Sunday knowing a win would put them above Manchester United and within touching distance of the top four.

They suffered a 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the home leg but can overturn that on Thursday with a victory in Germany.
