It is mate yes....or Dagenham & Redbridge........to have hostility to either club would be to pretend they are a threat....and they are not,never have been.

Hackney Marshes is the common ground between West Ham and Orient many players have come off those pitches to the O's,the better ones would go to West Ham its just the way its been.

Yeah I thought so , I know a couple of lads from work that are hammers but they go the odd orient game, they even said they’ve been to some club house or events room there to watch West Ham away European games and it’s packed with hammers fans 

Would you say that it’s pretty accurate ? 
 

I hope you don’t go for one of those half and half scarves mind

And there's been some house hold names as well that played there I looked at a old photo how many pitches were on there I bet that place was a scouts dream

No they wouldn't there's historical rivalry like with spurs that aren't  even deby games they would class as more a rival than orient 

I'm not saying who would be a bigger rival but of course it would be known as a local Derby, Orient are only ten mile off West Ham.

So.....the West Ham/Millwall rivalry,one of the oldest rivalries in English football,a rivalry of over 120 years is suddenly going to be brushed under the carpet and forgotten about if Orient win their play off game tomorrow and then get up into the Premier League next year 

This conversation has become too silly to bother with.

You're mentioning Millwall, I haven't even brought them up in the conversation. Lol

How on earth could you not call it a Derby match, of course it would be, you're just talking about the bigger rivalries.

That makes around 12/13 teams rivals to my mighty Hammers 

 

Again, not rivals, just Derby games, or wouldn't you class Man UTD vs Man City as a Derby when they weren't in the same league together, of course it still would be, suggesting otherwise is silly.

Now that the dust has settled, and in the cold light of day, am I happy that Sunderland have been promoted? Not unhappy. The actual game was far more enjoyable than expected. Spent the day at a family party and all of the Sunderland supporters were at the game but one of my niece's latest girlfriends is a Leeds supporter and did a cartwheel when the Mackem's scored. These modern lesbians aren't the Militant Millie types, this one looks like Margot Robbie. She was good craic throughout the game. 

Happy that the Derby is back on. Not a true Derby of course as has been clarified. A derby is when two clubs from the same city play each other. That cannot be refuted and is what Max would say, FACT! Even though the distance between St. James' and SOL is shorter than some London derbys.

Still though, the nerves and anticipation tend to begin on the Monday of the week leading up to the weekend. Once at work and the banter/craic/insults start. By the end of the week most forget about the league position, forget about the points, all that matters is not getting beat. Or rather not getting easily beaten and looking like pussies. Seeing the lads playing as though they care as much as you do is the least that you hope for.
