In an unprecedented statement released through City Hall, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has laid out his 'battle plan' ahead of finally meeting up with representatives of West Ham United to discuss where to go with the London Stadium impasse. Stage one will be the sub committee questioning of David Edmonds CBE, former Chairman, LLDC and Neale Coleman CBE, former Deputy Chairman, LLDC. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 21 March from 2:00pm in The Chamber (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1),

The 'spontaneous' pitch invasion at The London Stadium during the ill fated 3 - 0 defeat to Burnley initially appeared to be a boiling over of emotions following the thwarted March in March, however it now seems that there was more than an element of organisation particularly with regards to the 'siege' of the directors box.

The Football Association said it would be seeking observations from West Ham as well as awaiting the match referee Lee Mason's report before considering what action to take, but with The Premier League joining in the condemnation of events it will only be a matter of time before 'firm action' is taken by the FA.

The packed London (ironic not iconic) Stadium crowd expected their team to put a shift in, and during the first half they did despite Joe Hart looking like a rabbit stuck in the headlights. His selection raised more than a few eyebrows and his name was met with boos when the team was read out, he looked hopelessly lacking in confidence, and that feeling spread, firstly among the crowd but as time wore on it got to his team mates as well.

Fans are aghast that David Moyes has chosen what is probably the most important game of the season to replace goal keeper Adrian San Miguel with England flop Joe Hart, admittedly Adrian has conceded four goals in each of his last two games.

It seems that every match preview over the last few months has hinted at 'six pointer' status, this Saturday's match (Yes that rarity of a home match on Saturday kicking off at 3pm) against Burnley is not a six pointer on account of the fact that Burnley are so much further up the table that they are realistically unreachable even at this stage of the season.

Authur Masuaku's six match ban for spitting at an opponent should have been the least of the club's worries, but if West Ham United continue their downward Premier League spiral Masuaku's dismissal will be increasingly significant, the club has embarked on a series of terrible results akin to the last days of Slaven Billic, it appears that Mauaku's massive influence on the team's fortunes was grossly under estimated when trying to fill his boots.

Having not been contacted by the Real West Ham Fans Action Group about their march planned for Saturday the 10th of March, it should be of no concern to us at the Org that it has been postponed. The proposed march divided opinion among many 'non-verbal' Hammers' fans, with some feeling that the demonstration ahead of a crucial Premier League survival game would play in to the oppositions hands by creating an air of negativity which with the best will in the world would almost invariably have a bad effect on the playing staff.
