West Ham United play away at Sevilla on Thursday night in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie.

For many fans around the world that may seem a trivial, even boring achievement. Not for West Ham.

For true supporters of West Ham United, those who have endured so much, for so long, Thursday's game represents something they have for decades deserved.

For the years under Allardyce and Grant, the heartbroken days where we were torn away from Upton Park against our will, the shite transfer windows, the empty promises and the seemingly endless tripe about how next season will be better.

It is finally better. We were promised this. We deserve this. Never forget that.

The outcome is unknown. And if we progress to the last eight, we at the We Are West Ham podcast will express similar sentiments again. And if we are knocked out, we should lap these days up before demanding our club gets here again.

It is our love, our passion, our belief, our long-term, long suffering support and our money which has made this club what it is. Enjoy these moments, because it's the very least we are due.

Huge credit to David Moyes for getting us this far and giving us a club we can be proud of. Long live David Moyes. And Long live West Ham.

Come on you Irons.
