West Ham United have some serious travelling to do over the course of the next 10 days or so, and David Moyes is concerned.
The Hammers have three away games in a row to play in three different competitions before we play at the London Stadium again on March 12th.

West Ham face games against Manchester United in the FA Cup, Brighton in the Premier League and then AEK Larnaca in the UEFA Europa Conference League over the course of the next 10 days.
London to Manchester is a 420 mile trip, whilst London to Brighton is around 120 miles there and back.
Then we have to fly out to Cyprus for our clash with AEK Larnaca – a 4,060 round trip in the air. That’s a total of 4,600 miles that the playing squad and staff will be traveling between now and next Thursday.
And Moyes doesn’t seem to be too happy about that…
David Moyes concerned by run of away games for West Ham
The Hammers manager spoke to the media this morning ahead of our FA Cup clash with Manchester United tomorrow night.
And Moyes spoke out about the fact that our clash with the Seagulls hasn’t been moved to Sunday to help us out a little bit, as quoted by Football.London:
“It doesn’t help that our trip to Brighton didn’t get moved to a Sunday. This one makes it a bit awkward, and then we have to go to Cyprus as well.”
Moyes has a point here doesn’t he.
Why on earth would the Premier League not entertain moving out game against Brighton to the Sunday, in order to help us out in Europe?
It just stinks to me. And would it have been a club like Manchester United or Liverpool, I believe that their request would have been granted. It is what it is though, unfortunately.
Let’s just hope that the 4,600 miles travelling over the next 10 days doesn’t catch up with Moyes and his West Ham players.
