Now that the A&E departments near Hammers supporters homes have recovered from the influx of potential heart attack victims they had to deal with, we can look back at an 'eventful' London Derby between the Irons and newly promoted Fulham FC.

It is one thing to be the 'plucky underdog' and play well against 'top teams' by digging in with a game plan, it is another thing entirely when playing against 'lesser' opposition who adopt the same 'siege' mentality, such games require a plan B, or sometimes even a plan C.

David Moyes is a manager known for his dilligence, not necessarily for his patience, and so it appears that Hammers most expensive signing, Sebastien Haller, has been given the 'hurry up' by his boss. Moyes' thinly veiled comments about team ethics and work rate could hardly have targeted anyone other than the Frenchman, who has recently switched his national team allegiance to the Ivory Coast.

The news that the entire ill thought out concept of PPV during the Covid-19 pandemic is under review with the intention of games being made free to air, as they were previously. The whole idea of having to pay £14.95 to see games not covered by the already exhorbitant charges made by Sky and Bt Sport has wrankled with supporters across the board.

West Ham are apparently testing the waters regarding a loan move for Real Madrid ace Luka Jovic, it is claimed that Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is ready to make the eight-capped Serbia international available on loan in January with a view to a permanent move in the summer. The 22 year old joined Real Madrid from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2019 for around £55 million at the same time as Sebastien Haller left the Bundesliga club for the Hammers with a fee of around £45 million.

Here at the Org we have always found Jurgen Klopp entertaining and generally a fine addition to the Barclays Premier League, but whether it is because his team Liverpool have had a less than wonderful start to the season and he is becoming fatigued at trying to get his team back to the top, or for some other reason, Klopp seems to have started to see things through, ..dun, dun, dun..'Arsene Wenger Eyes!'

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Phillips, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Jones, Mane, Firmino, Salah Subs: Adrian, Milner, Minamino, Jota, Shaqiri, R Williams, N Williams
West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Haller Subs: Randolph, Yarmolenko, Benrahma, Lanzini, Snodgrass, Diop, Fredericks

OK big man, a message from west ham fans, you were furious with 'bug eye', 'the corpse' or whatever you want to call your manager David Moyes, when he replaced Michail Antonio with Yarmolenko instead of you against Manchester City. Another in a long line of snubs, or just how the cookie crumbles? Having banged in goals for fun in the Elk Cup hopes were high that there would be a chance of 'significant' minutes on the pitch in the Barclays Premier League, unfortunately due to an injury picked up in training it was not to be.

Contrary to the hopeful images we saw of Michail Antonio at Rush Green, the Hammers striker has been side lined for what could be up to six weeks with an injury to his troublesome hamstring, it is a situation that was always going to potentially occur, but the timing was not anticipated.

In what will be seen as a very positive sign, West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has been pictured taking part in a supervised light session at the club's Rush Green training ground.
