Manuel Pellegrini's team selections this season have been subject to catastrophic intervention due to an almost unbelievable injury list, but to use a classic car motoring analogy he now finds his team selection at the top of a long up hill climb that has reached it's summit which is now going to gain rapid acceleration on the way from the top, so much so that it might give the brakes a good testing!

Saturday was a day of celebration as the club honored long standing servant Billy Bonds by naming a stand after him, Bonzo joins other West Ham greats Sir Trevor Brooking and 'Sir' Bobby Moore by having 'his' stand. Having played a record 799 games for the Hammers once he had signed from Charlton Billy Bonds assumed legendary status with the 'eyes of blue, six foot two and he's after you!' chant.

West Ham v Newcastle from the London Stadium, we will be there to witness Bonzo having the stand named in his honour.
