As football has been put on the back burners, many clubs have taken to the world of FIFA and Football Manager, and West Ham are no different, as they’ve been drawn to face Wimbledon in Leyton Orient’s brilliantly organised Ultimate Quaranteam Cup in a FIFA competition.

With that being the case, many fans have reacted to this with fear, as the last time they faced the Dons was during a fateful FA Cup away trip to the League One side back in January 2018, losing 4-2 in the Fourth Round of the world’s oldest cup competition at Kingsmeadow.
This isn’t so much a chance to get their own back over the League One club, but the supporters have all put up a reminder of that defeat, and are desperate to avoid falling against the EFL side once again in this completely different competition.

The fans are clearly nervous for this one but will back themselves to get past the Dons this time.
