    Violence erupts at London derby




    A man has been stabbed in the chest during violence involving "hundreds" of fans outside West Ham's Upton Park stadium during a game with Millwall.
    Fights broke out at 1915 BST and were still raging more than an hour later. Police are assessing a man stabbed in nearby Priory Road at about 2025 BST.
    A fan told the BBC it was the worst hooliganism he had seen in 30 years.
    A Met spokesman said: "It looks like there has been some planned trouble disorder from fans."
    He added: "Hundreds of fans are estimated to be involved."
    British Transport Police said they heard reports of minor overcrowding at the Tube station near the ground, but their log shows no arrests.
    'Bottles and bricks'
    The BBC's Ben Jacobs, who is at the stadium, said: "The trouble broke out outside the Tube station about 600 yards from the ground.
    "There were 500 to 1,000 riot police and Millwall fans managed to break through the divide.
    "Bottles were thrown and bricks were as well."
    He added: "There has been a bit of trouble inside the ground.
    "There was a penalty shout and fans started gesturing and throwing small objects. But police do have this under control."

    football violence has always been a part in england. there are a lot of myths that the government could erase it completely, but it just moved from the prem league to the lower divisions.

    Defo, the authorities try to dismiss it as not being a problem but in recent years i've noticed it's started to come back. Everythings organised these days, i've heard rumours already of whats gonna happen down here when Swansea come across, no doubt the police will turn a blind eye.
