In 2020, West Ham United signed both Said Benrahma & Jarrod Bowen from clubs in the Championship.
3 years later, both players scored in a European final to bring the Hammers their first major trophy in 47 years! What a story that is!

A goal and an assist from Pablo last week. Unlucky not to get a second goal against Millwall too.
He may not be the most prolific goalscorer, but he's crucial to how West Ham wants to play imo.

Part of the reason was because the PGMOL had a "Prem-level" referee in charge of the game. They don't allow the game to flow the same as Championship refs. ⚒️
Millwall vs West Ham produced more fouls than ANY other Championship game this season. 😤⚒️
A huge 35 fouls were committed in the 100th Dockers Derby, with West Ham edging that particular battle with 18 to Millwall’s 17.
The Dockers Derby lived up to its reputation. 🔥
Nuno's biggest priority for the break has to be working on our defence.
West Ham conceded five goals this week. All of them easily avoidable and mainly consists of our defence switching off.
Our attack has been saving us, but we can't rely on that all the time.

Jarrod Bowen on the Millwall game:
"First half we didn’t match their energy and gave them too much (respect). It took us too long to match them."
"We knew if we got that first goal, we would go and score a second. On another day, we would have got a third."

At halftime against Millwall, Jarrod Bowen lead a team talk amongst his teammates to help inspire West Ham's comeback.
Nuno also challenged his team to not concede another goal and show more aggression.

Kanté is going to be some player.
Yes he's still rough around the edges, but you can't expect a 21-year-old to be the finished article.
Great finish yesterday, and even though it comes from his mistake, he sacrifices himself to save the point. Great attitude!
👏🏻⚒️ #WHUFC#COYI
Terrible first half and disappointed Nuno setup to defend from the go, however the second half we looked a lot better!
Didn't want to lose today and we avoided that, and the scenes when we equalised was incredible. Not great, but we take the point!

Nuno on tomorrow's game against Millwall: "It's a special game. The atmosphere will be different and there's expectation from both sets of fans. It's difficult to ignore the noise. There's going to be anxiety and nerves, but we have try to force mistakes and play the game" #WHUFC
It won't be easy at all, despite them having loads of players injured. Whoever they field will be up for it due to how big the rivalry is.
West Ham on paper SHOULD win comfortably, but if I was offered a 1-0 scrappy win now I'd take it in a heartbeat.

As with any fixture, the Sporting Events Act 1985 is in place, which means entering or attempting to enter a ground while intoxicated is strictly prohibited. A Section 35 dispersal order will also be in place, allowing officers to remove anyone causing disorder. It will cover this area.
Millwall are set to be without Romain Esse, Alfie Doughty, Lukas Jensen, Josh Coburn, Casper De Norre, Tristan Crama, Ryan Leonard, Mihailo Ivanović, Mathis Servais and Massimo Luongo on Saturday.
Former West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna has graduated from the PFA Business School with a Diploma in Global Football Sport Directorship.

Nuno on the Fulham loss:
"We made mistakes, they punished it. We had good chances we had to be more clinical with. We've been punished by mistakes, something that we have to look at. The way we conceded, there is improvement to be made."
⚒️ #WHUFC#COYI
Very frustrating to have lost in the way we did.
Herrick needed another loan. His lack of senior football does show unfortunately. Taty also missing that chance at the end is poor from him.
Anyways, the Championshop should be our sole focus anyways. We move on!
