West Ham are 'champions of London' over Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea, claims David Sullivan
West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has made the bold claim that the Hammers are now the ‘champions of London.’
The east London club have had a great season under the guidance of Slaven Bilic, sitting sixth in the Premier League table with an outside chance of finishing in the top four.
Arsenal (third) play Manchester City (fourth) on Sunday before West Ham bid farewell to the Boleyn Ground with a vital match against Manchester United on Tuesday
If results go the Hammers' way, it could open up a route to the Champions League ahead of the club's move to the Olympic Stadium this summer.

West Ham have won four of their eight London derbies against capital clubs Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace this term, beating each side once and only losing to Spurs.
"We are champions of London," Sullivan said to Sky Sports. "If you do a league of all the five London teams when they’ve played each other, we are the champions of London.
"Fourteen points (sic - West Ham have 15) is better than anyone else. We call ourselves champions of London now."
The Hammers have three games left to play this season - against Swansea, Stoke and Man United - and every point will be crucial in the race for the top four.

Somebody on here was excited about this.
To be fair, shows some progress, even if some teams had off years.

Yes Tex, we know Watford isn't in London but for the purposes of this league, due to their proximity, they may or may not have included them

As I recall, it was in the Evening Standard, and they included both Watford and Luton.
I presume this was because they flogged their rag in both places.

Always good to be top of this but I found his comments about it and about Leicester City to be pretty embarrassing.

Watford has a tube station. Crystal Palace doesn't
Either way we are top and but for the ridiculous free kick deemed a penalty vs Chelsea and Clattenburg wrongly sending off Kouyate we would have been even further clear with 4 more points.
