A Monday Night London Derby as West Hosts East
It's a Monday night London Derby between two teams that have rarely met in recent years. The last meetings occurred in 2004 in the Championship when the home team won each time. The previous meeting before that was in April 1996 when QPR won 3-0 despite being relegated weeks later. I hope history reverses itself and WHR comes home to a Hammers victory. Rob Green will be on the bench vs his former team as he has lost his place to Julio Cesar. It's also a battle of the witless managers as Fat Sam and Sparky renew acquaintances, but it will be a London Derby instead of a Lancashire Derby.
