I know Ken Dyer the Evening Standard guy seems quite close to the club but is there any reason this seems to be a West Ham column every season?
And presumably Pellegrini told them to do one

Didn't the owners suggest he gets more/a different back room staff to Bilic (which he declined), so something was probably said?
That's if the rumours are true, of course.

As captain, you'd hope he'd have spoken to the manager about it at the time if he wasn't happy.

Agreed. Perhaps it could/should have been put differently.

I'm glad he's noticed a difference between this season and last season.
I feel uncomfortable about throwing Bilic under the bus, but it obviously wasn't good enough.

"I have been here for two-years and both of the last two pre-seasons were taken up by us having Europe League qualifiers. We had to come back early and it was not a proper pre-season. I asked the Chairman and Karren Brady and they understood the situation.
"They said 'let's do it your way'. We are just concentrating on training and resting. We have been to Austria and are going to Germany. I have to thank the board, especially the chairman and Karren for letting us have this kind of pre-season which is crucial."

If he starts on Sunday, is this yet another manager that Mark Noble has somehow convinced to give him the armband and start in centre midfield?

you wouldn't say it would be Dicks, Bilic etc who organised the pre-season at all then?

From Pellegrini's press conf this morning on Noble.
Finally, the manager is asked if Mark Noble will retain the captaincy this season...
"Mark Noble is the captain of the team and, although I don't know how many times he will be selected, every time he is selected he will be captain!"
