lists all the featured main matches on all the regionalised football shows. For LWT in that season, the numbers clubs were shown (as a home team as the main LWT match) up until the point we're at in the current season is:
West Ham 4
QPR 3
Arsenal 2
Spurs 2
ch*ls** 2
Fulham 1
Palace 1
Charlton 1
Luton? 1 (although they were playing Fulham)

I think West Ham were on a lot early season because up until Christmas they weren't doing too badly (I think one time in October/November they were 2nd or 3rd and they were 6th on Xmas Day that year). Their form absolutely fell off a cliff afterwards though. 8 points from 21 games finishing 18th.

This is why I've always said that if our game at Upton Park had been left in it's original place as our final game of the season rather than being brought forward to FA Cup 4th round day, we'd have won the game and the title.

Probably where the saying comes from

West Ham come down with the Christmas Decorations
