West Ham remain the only club among the traditional "ever-present" or long-standing top-flight teams to never lose to a non-league club while playing as a league side themselves.
They are also one of only eight clubs never to have dropped below the top two tiers of English football.

I think the BBC means 'Money, money'. More slobbering, uncritical slop about a Petrostate-owned club which still has over 100 charges of impropriety hanging over it.
The rot at the heart of BBC journalism goes way beyond Reform Boy Chris Mason.

The reality of Brexit:
David Chadwick MP: "Welsh farmers were promised that Brexit would make exporting easier.
"Instead, Conservative governments, cheered on by Reform UK, delivered more paperwork, higher costs and fewer markets."

Another day of Green voters demanding ludicrous statements from the PM, and absolutely refusing to accept that tens of thousands of UK jobs, as well as UK security is dependent on the US relationship.
Absolutely fucking halfwits.
