THE HAMMERS v THE GUNNERS


I watched the final moments of the Sunday afternoon Premier League match, this afternoon between West Ham United and The Arsenal. It didn't finish well for The Hammers. It was Arsenal's biggest League victory in Premier league history.

The two clubs have played each other since 1906 (see below) and apart from Cup ties they have only ever played matches in the TOP Division (i.e. First Division and Premier League). The first match is noted below and the two clubs met firstly in League Division One in August 1923
