No good ex players they could talk to?

Considering some the players that have come through West Ham even in the last 20 years, surely they could have done better\

This is nuts :pac:

How Soon Is Now

Haha this is awful.

DDC1990

Olympic Opening Ceremony this is not.

****ing taxis on the pitch?

Kirby

I'm sure some boardroom suit thought this would be brilliant but....like....didn't they do a dry run and somebody realise how dumb this is?

Guy:Incognito

Thats the fastest Tony Cottee ever moved on that pitch:pac:

How Soon Is Now

As cheap and tacky as the locals.

adox

Taxi for the post match organisers.

Dempsey

"In taxi no.3" :pac:

I think they are trying to pacify the crowd until the United Bus gets onto the Motorway

adox

Wasn't the chairman giving out earlier about th delayed kick off?msaying that people had buses and trains to catch and would have to miss the post match?


They've enough taxis there to get everyone home!

There began my hatred of West Ham. Sick we threw the lead away tonight, thought we did as much as could be expected against West Ham in that occasion and atmosphere.
West Ham fans making idiots of themselves yet again, we know they love sticking it to United but tonight was their occasion and in the end they marred it for themselves. Blowing bubbles indeed, wallies.

:D:D Bitter much??? :D:D

shrewdness

Fair play to West Ham, they fully deserved the win even based on the first half alone. But this is a load of cringy bollix.

HardenendMan

Why are they leaving the Boleyn so soon?...sure it's only been a few weeks since they left Upton Park.

It's a bit cringe but I was a West Ham I'd be enjoying watching the old footage.

Your wan is fecking awful.

Teddy Sheringham looks like he stepped off the set of Peaky Blinders.

Why is he even there?

Is Teddy Sheringham trying to copy Stephen Hunts style?

No Danny Dyer or Ray Winstone?

60k.

60K capacity...52K season tickets sold. Yes they will certainly fill it for the first season anyway. All depends after that.

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh dear. And the images of the fans in the crowd.

price690

Didn't they confiscate Bobby Moores season ticket a couple of years before he died? Told him to move on. Now they eulogise him for their own end.

No sign of Geoff Hurst which was strange he probably didn't want to share the stage

Bit tenuous really. Especially considering the other London teams he played for

That's fair enough. Probably be a bit of pressure on them now to be a bit successful

Hammer Archer

The powers that be threatened to cancel the ceremony after the match if there was a pitch invasion...... bet everyone wishes there was a pitch invasion now!

Mr.Nice Guy

This was the worst musical performance I've seen today and I saw a good bit of the Eurovision.

theoneeyedman

It might have been discussed earlier, but what penalties will be put on United for helping to delay the kick off again. I'm not excusing th e crowd acting the tit and coming a few weeks after they arrived late for the Spurs game, to me means someone needs a kick in the hole.

I wonder has the Utd bus left yet???

I think the scummy actions of the West Ham fans have ruined the night.

The clowns who were firing bottles at the bus would be a start.

So gentrification of London led to it being reffered to as Boleyn Ground.

Bye bye Upton Park

It being called the Boleyn Ground for more than 100 years led to it being referred to as the Boleyn Ground.

Why would the united bus leave? we were at home:rolleyes:

Just back from the Rovers game so only watching the highlights on SSN. But looks like West Ham should've had the game over by halftime with the chances.

Especially the Carroll chance. Were United over committing or something even in the first half?

Interesting read on it ? helping to delay the kick off ? Who knows what the reasons were why the coach was late.. if anyone at the United end was culpable.. fair enough fine them.. whatever... What I didn't like was Bilic using the late coach as an excuse for his own fans attacking the bus... he should be censured for making such remarks in my view as it excuses violence and therefore by proxy could be seen to incite it which isnt on.. poor form on his part...
as for the game I thought West Ham were value for the win.. United.. piss poor for 80% of the game really.. story of the season...

As I said in the op, there is no excuse for the hooligans pelting the bus, they are responsible for that. However, United got caught in traffic at Spurs a few weeks ago. Anyone with an ounce of wit would have erred on the side of caution and been early. If nothing else, it meant they had to inch tru even larger crowds arriving so soon before the kick off.

Its already been pointed out, repeatedly, that Utd were late at Spurs cause a police man sent them down the wrong road.

From what I can see..they were late for Spurs match and as a result got stuck in traffic. They tried an alternative route at police suggestion which led them to a low tunnel which then delayed then further. So again if they had left enough time the secondary delay would not happen. It is unprofessional to be honest.

The_Kew_Tour

Love how blame is sorely on the victim and not the guilty party here.

Although the gutless performance made it worse

Anybody with an ounce of wit would also know that United were late to the Spurs game because the police diverted the bus down a road that they couldnt pass through due to a low bridge....... nothing to do with poor planning on the United side anyway.

But hey lets ignore the facts and blame United for everything.

Korat

Non-Utd fans should be delighted with them turning up late. They've lost both games, been completely outplayed and conceded 6 goals, then there's the added bonus of being able to laugh at the sheer incompetence of it from a club Man Utd's stature.

SantryRed

West Ham will be kicking themselves that they aren't in with a shout of Top 4.

Points dropped at home to Palace (1-0 to 1-1 due to a ridiculous sending off), away to Leicester (2-1 to 2-2 with a dodgy enough penalty in the 94th min), and then the 4-1 thrashing at home to Swansea.

That's 7 points right there that could have seen top in 4th going into the final game! Even beating Swansea last Sat would have put them in a great position for Sunday.

HalloweenJack

Also Chelsea got a dodgy last minute peno against them in the 2-2 draw at the Bridge.

There was a few weeks where they seemed to get poor decisions against them every weekand they cost them quite a few points.
