Having qualified for the Europa League 'proper', Hammers will soon find out who they are likely to face in the group stages. There will definitely be some familiar faces when the games begin, but first several potential rivals have to 'duke'it out in order to reach the group stages.

Strangely enough, as a result of the changed rules for the new season and the establishment of the lower tier Conference Cup, teams that drop out of the Champions league qualifiers now have to play qualifiers to see if they can qualify, it that makes any sense.

Hammers fans are all too aware of how much money Eintrecht Frankfurt relieved the club of for the signing of 'le sulk' Sebastien Haller, however at the same time as relieving West Ham of £45 Million for one of their 'star' strikers, they also fleeced Real Madrid of even more, £50 Million for their other one, Luka Jovic!

Now it is not a good thing in life to wish ill of people, but in 'Tottingham" supremo Daniel Levy's case we can make an exception, after all his dog in a manger approach has seen him deliberately set about ruining West Ham United's prospects, mind you he needn't have bothered really, because the present owners are doing a fine job of it themselves!
