Lucas Neill has a $80 million game coming up.

"Its an $80 million game, " said Lucas speaking from London tonight.

West Ham play champions Man Utd at Old Trafford on Sunday. A point for West Ham is enough to ensure their survival.

"It's probably a good time to play them. They may be focused on the FA Cup now they've won the title. I want to be a Premiership player at 5pm on Sunday night, and then we can put the Chairman's plans into place for next season."

And then Lucas is looking forward to the AFC Asian Cup 2007.

"It's a massive tournament, one we want to win. It's not often you get the chance to win an international tournament. To win one with Australia would be fantastic."

"The young guys that game in and played in China did really well. Its strange because I'm used to the old guys, and now we have some young guys who I've heard of but never met. They did really well."

"We've been through a transition period since the World Cup but there are a lot of young guys playing at a good level. They look to me as the one of the older guys, and I'm only 29. I don't feel old. But if I can give advice, and I hope its good well that's nice. It's funny to think that this was how I was not so long ago, asking the older guys for advice. Now I've got the responsibility and that's okay."
