    West Ham United Football Club (nicknamed The Irons, The Hammers, and The Academy of Football) are a professional football club based in Upton Park, East London. They were founded in 1895 by foreman and local league referee Dave Taylor and owner Arnold Hills as Thames Ironworks F.C. - a strictly amateur football club with a team featuring a number of works employees. During the summer of 1898, Thames Ironworks F.C. became a professional outfit for the first time, to match their new status as members of the Southern League Second Division, and were promoted to the First Division at the first attempt following a decision to enlarge the top division of the Southern League to 19 teams. After growing disputes over the running and financing of the club in June 1900, Thames Ironworks F.C. resigned from the Southern League and were officially wound up. On 5 July 1900 they reformed under the new name of West Ham United and accepted an offer of the Southern League place left vacant by Thames Ironworks.

    West Ham's most successful period started with the appointment of Ron Greenwood in 1961 - leading to FA Cup, League Cup and Cup Winners' Cup titles - with youth team graduates Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters at the forefront. Their nickname The Academy of Football pays homage to the club's proud tradition in English football for playing entertaining, attacking football - and the success of the club in coaching future greats - which includes that aforementioned trio of World Cup winners, Trevor Brooking, Paul Ince, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Jermaine Defoe and Michael Carrick. West Ham's most prominent rivals are local clubs Millwall (Dockers derby - one of the longest-standing and most bitter in English football), Chelsea (East versus West London rivalry), and Tottenham Hotspur (East versus North London derby). They played their home games at the now demolished Boleyn Ground (often referred to as Upton Park) from 1904 to 2016, and moved to the London Olympic Stadium at the start of the 2016/ 2017 League season.

    All well and good winning a trophy but the most important thing is how you follow it up the next game. This is our first real test.

    Please give a couple of days off for the XI that’s started more or less every match lately.

    Heaton

    Dalot
    Maguire
    Lindelöf
    Malacia

    McTominay
    Sabitzer

    Antony
    Sancho
    Garnacho

    Elanga

    Might lose with that and I’d love to really go for the FA Cup but we can’t go on like this till the end of the season.

    I'd be lying if I said I cared that much. EtH will absolutely care though. He'll pick a team to win. Just hope he rests some of the starters.

    Honestly, not super optimistic for this. We are far better and at home will help, but you just feel after a cup final win and the Barcelona win, might get a little drop off.

    I think he should go with the same midfield that we ended today’s game with.

    Casemiro should be relatively fresh

    Gotta be a full rotation here. Lindelöf, McTominay, Maguire, Malacia -- the whole nine yards from the bench.

    Everyone needs a rest for this. If we can't win with our second string team then so be it.

    Liverpool at the weekend is 10x more important. Especially after winning in Europa and winning today.

    Rashford was totally dead out there, zero chance he can start vs West Ham. Fred needs a rest. Varane probably does as well.

    Sancho, Garnacho and Sabitzer could and should all start.

    Really need to rotate. With Liverpool having a tough game midweek it’s really worth the risk.

    Most of the team needs a rest but we want to go through here as well. Liverpool game should be a priority but win this one and we're in quarterfinal so 2 wins away from another cup final. Do think it'll be really difficult game though.

    I feel we need to make a few changes in this one. Nothing too drastic as we need to keep up the momentum. Maybe keep Rashford and Casemiro on the bench to keep them fresh for Anfield, possibly Varane too.
