    Up until the so called fans got on the players backs, the performance was fine.

    Nope. Performance was poor until then.
    Nope performance was ok till then.

    I didn’t want Hart playing today. I didn’t think Adrian had been consistently bad, over many games. The question is, can Moyes drop Hart after one game?

    You make it out like he's only played badly once for us.

    I've said it from the moment we signed Hart that he was by far our worst keeper. People disagreed with me and even laughed at me when I said Randolph is leagues above him. My point still stands. You know with Hart playing youll be at a 1-0 disadvantage from the off as he is bound to make at least one error per game.

    Fortune irrespective of whatever views anybody has on what's been happening at the club nobody in their right mind with any semblance of grey cells can justify what those cretins did today.
    I appreciate you may well agree entirely with their views but surely you can't agree with what they did. They've done more damage to the club today than anything you imagine the board has done.

    I'm just watching the Six Nations. Since David Moyes visited the England training camp, England have been just as abject as us.

    ;pray but the club needs you as well Suz otherwise those thugs win ,owners come and go as well but WEST HAM will survive this
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    None of those who disgraced us today were women.

    The choice not to go should be mine.

    Those morons who invaded the pitch should receive lifetime bans and should be sued for every penny of the fibe we will be hit by. And if we get docked points or have to play behind closed doors (both of which I deriously doubt unless it happens repeatedly) then they should be fined for every penny of our loss of earnings.

    That kind of behaviour has no place whatsoever inside a football ground.

    I have invaded a pitch once or twice (in ice hockey) but that was after the gates were opened and to celebrate a title at the end of the season. But what happened today is not acceptable!

    Actually, he didn't go in the end, but Pearce did.

    Can I say well done to Ireland, while we're at it?

    Club Statement

    West Ham United have immediately launched a full and thorough investigation into the incidents which marred the second half of today's match and are committed to taking decisive and appropriate action.

    An emergency meeting has been called with all London Stadium stakeholders. There will be no further comment at this time.

    In that case I blame Pearce. ;lol

    Congratulations to Ireland, they have been the best team this year and judging by England's last two performances, they will win the Grand Slam this year

    I think the people who ran on the pitch were a disgrace and will only further tarnish the club I hope they get life time bans . The stewards were no where to be seen when the first bloke run on it took 30/40 seconds before one got on to the pitch. I booed the people who ran on , for the first time this season I don't feel like going anymore as much as because the behaviour of some of our fans as the performance of the team I have nt felt this down after a game in years . We will crucified by the media tomorrow .
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Right with you there Pearces ;hug
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Considering what happened in the stadium imagine if the march had gone ahead...
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    And you just know that those cretins will be in the pubs celebrating their "great achievement" and how clever they are. I'd love it if they come up against genuine fans who'd to them exactly why they're not wanted at the club
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    After a hopeful January, February and March has been disastrous. Our season now has come down to us now cheering on the likes of Chelsea, Spurs, ManU, etc, when they play our relegation contenders ;nonono
  • alderzalderz
    There's a video of a couple of the pitch invaders getting back into the crowd and getting attacked by other fans who disagreed.

    All round not a great day for the club.
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Just back from the match.
    Well that went well then.
    Dear Bobby, if you were sitting on a cloud over Stratford this afternoon, looking down on a game which celebrated your memory. On behalf of every sane thinking westham supporter, I unreservedly apologise for the behaviour of a few.
    Your memory should not have been tarnished in that way.

    Chatted with a doctor on the train home - she'd spent all day in A&E - helped put things in perspective.
    However, I still feel deeply saddened especially for Hamstew and his lad and for Ammerinaberdeen and Wombat.
    As mentioned the stewards were a waste of space - they seemed to have been instructed not to tackle anyone.

    I personally blame Wombat ............ all of the times that the two of us have attended the home games at the new gaff ...... we've lost. I was there and so was he ;weep
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    So no culpability towards the match thread starter then who, by his own admission, had never even overseen a draw previously?

    ;lol
  • Brother_SledgeBrother_Sledge
    Wombat - sorry to miss you -
    Expat - ditto - missed your earlier post as I had already set off and don't do mobile internet thingy.
    All the best to you both
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Sorry I missed you too Bruv, and Expat. I came in from a different direction, parked at west ferry and got the dlr. brilliant way in avoiding Stratford and out again too.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    This game had so much riding on it, on and off the field.

    I knew that if we lost the game we would be in trouble. I didn't expet to see such moronic actions from some in the stadium.

    I am disappointed with the result, but significantly more unhapply with the situation our club is now in.

    A sad state of affairs.
  • ammerinaberdeenammerinaberdeen
    Nice to meet you today Brother Sledge. For obvious reasons didn’t enjoy the second half and although I was up in the clouds had a good view of the match. Quite impressed with stadium and thetoilts etc as compared with UP. Will try to get down again November as I have another reunion I London this time. As for the morons I’ll say no more!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Sorry dee but what invasion?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    They should have let the march go ahead, after 3 miles of hiking through the streets of Newham they would have been too knackered to do anything else. Most of them wouldn't have made it up Green Street to the Romford Road!

    The Met estimated that 200 fans were protesting in front of the directors box although BBC reckoned it was 500 at the time. The official attendance was 56,904, as far as I can tell the away allocation is 7000 and according to Burnley's website they sold the lot. So if we say that there 49904 West Ham fans then even if it was 500 that's 1%, even if they overestimated the attendance its still going to be a tiny proportion.

    From what I've heard more people walked out in disgust after the second goal than tried to start a riot
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    The away allocation is 3000 I believe ASLEF, definitely not 7000.

    Dee, the 4 or 5 people who ran onto the pitch did not have a go at the players.
    Mind they were escorted from the pitch by stewards who then helped them over the electronic advertising things and back to their seats. Still they all have their NVQ's.
