If we also take into account our Europa Cup run in 21/22 which I believe was 7 wins, 2 draws & 3 losses - that's an 85% win ratio for the last 3 seasons so far. Not bad at all. A far cry from when Astra Giurgiu used to knock us out in the qualifying round.
Anyway, noticed on both BBC and Sky (when I looked at both sites back to back) that our record setting feat wasn't deemed good enough to be placed higher than Liverpool Villa and Rangers exploits. When I saw it for the first time on BBC there were at least 6 news items above it (them it got moved up a bit)
However we played, getting a result in Germany against a side who have done very well in recent times is no mean achievement!
Excuse the ignorance, but why were West Ham fans banned from the stadium?
Somebody threw a vape at Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi, cut his head and had to be bandaged
We are banned for two away matches although the second is suspended. Fans will be allowed to travel to Olympiacos but if there's any more trouble we would be banned for at least one more match
Freiburg fans rolled out a banner before the start of the match opposing the ban. We ought to have a friendly there next summer just to show our appreciation

Greece - not the place to go if you want to avoid fan trouble
Moyes feels our pain: "But we are really enjoying [Paqueta] at the moment and he is terrific at taking the ball under pressure - but also there are moments when I say: 'what are you doing'?"

Paqueta and JWP off for Ings and Mubama.
So massive.
We rode our luck a bit but deserved the win overall.
Meanwhile....
