Several ex BBC employees who now work for BT Sports TV are still good friends of the Org, and were happy and willing to share a well known 'secret' with us, namely that Dimitri Payet may have left West Ham United for Olympic Marseille but his name still guarantees vast UK based viewing figures. So much so that we have learnt that more people tuned in to view the Marseille Europa League match than those who watched Arsenal's match screened at the same time!

The 2017-18 Premier League campaign is in its latter stages, with Manchester City already having been crowned as champions. The four Champions League spots look all but set in stone with City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham likely finishing in the top-four. Chelsea still have an outside chance, while Arsenal can get into Europe’s biggest competition next season by winning Europa League this season.

The rivalry between West Ham United and Millwall is deeply embedded into British hooliganism folklore.

We have been rivals for over a century, and although we have not had many opportunities to face each other in recent decades, the Dockers Derby remains one of the bitterest rivalries in English football.

We were asked a series of questions by Reuters News Agency regarding the club, about the next match, about the owners, the London Stadium, the season so far, the good and the ugly, and whether David Moyes will remain at the club.

The general consensus is that the Stoke City game is a season defining match, this is especially so given the other remaining matches West Ham have to play, none of them are easy therefore three points against Stoke is regarded as essential.
