Biggest game of the season for us this.

[DavidMarrio]

What about the FA Cup final? 

 

[Baddar]

CL qualification is more important. It'd be nice to get both though! 

Kick off delayed until 8.30 because our coach got attacked. Thanks Hammers!

I last went to Upton Park in 2011 and nowhere else - not QPR, Spurs, anywhere - have I felt such hostility from fans. Had people making (kind of weird) threats about "if this were 20 years ago" they'd kick my face in or something.

Like, I don't know, I guess what they were saying is that they want to be cunts but feel like they can no longer get away with it. Lovely. :/

[DavidMarrio]

West Ham are just one of those teams that it's just like urgh go away.  I remember after the FA Cup game earlier this season a few of their fans started on an old man and his daughter just because they drew at Anfield. 

I see David Sullivan is being a Grade-A tit as expected. 

Plus I hate how everyone is going on about it being the final game at Upton Park. I don't remember as much attention when Arsenal moved from Highbury or Man.City from Maine Road. 

 

[Baddar]

Sullivan said we should have had different travel plans - but Sky are saying we arrived on time but the fans wouldn't let us into the stadium, hence why we've been given the delay to kick off.

It's just a bit annoying now how Sky have to be all "awwww, West Aaaaaaaaam" tonight because it's the final game there, but fuck them.

[The Lusophone]

I think I'm firmly in Myke's fuck West Ham they should get relegated next season club now.

[stokeriño]

I dunno, I do remember quite a lot of fuss over Highbury.

No way to really compare it though.

[Chris2K]

I never thought I'd find myself wanting Man Utd to win a game which would give them a chance at a Champions League spot, but then a wild West Ham appeared.

[stokeriño]

Apparently they love match-winners at West Ham, so says Jamie Redknapp.

How unusual.

[Gazz]

West Ham bowing out of Upton Park with the class and dignity they're known for...

 

[Baddar]

Bubbles is a shit song anyway. :/

"There was congestion in the street and they couldn't get the coach in. There were people around the coach, but there was no attack on the coach.

"If you check the coach there won't be any damage to it."

I think I'm inclined to believe David Sullivan in this instance. I mean, where's the proof?

[stokeriño]

What a nonchalant finish that was.

[Baddar]

Fuck sake. 

We're gonna get smashed playing at this level. 

[Chris2K]

Hopefully that will put to rest any "Carroll for England" thoughts. Any striker with that much time, space and on his favoured foot that doesn't score there shoudn't be an international striker.

[Whisper]

David Sullivan in being a smug, smarmy cunt shocker.

Still, we are shite. Always hate going to West Ham.

[Baddar]

I don't see how we go on to win this game. The last 20 of that half was better, but we aren't even testing them, and we need a minimum of two second half goals. 

[Whisper]

Eh. The good news is City are still shit enough to lose at Swansea on Sunday.

Bad news is you're still shit enough to lose to Bournemouth on Sunday.
