"I am about 100 yards from the main entrance to the ground, what makes this evening unusual is the sheer number of supporters outside the ground.. The key thing is many want to be here to be part of the atmosphere.
"Right outside the ground was the Manchester United coach and it was stuck, it wasn't going anywhere. There were about 10 police vans in front of it and it was surrounded by a sea of fans. I didn't see any bottles being thrown then, I watched for a couple of minutes, but I have seen videos on social media of a couple of bottles being thrown.
"Most fans standing around were gesturing and singing, to say the bus was being attacked I think is something of an exaggeration."

I'll politely disagree and counter by saying that they could have and should have arrived at the ground much earlier, like 4pm when there would have been fewer people in the street. It's not the first time they've planned badly and while I don't condone the behavior (although I can't see images of teargas) they could have mitigated it.
That's like blaming the girl with a skimpy dress for being attacked. Surely the West Ham fans are responsible for their actions?hornetrider said:

I've no doubt it will be ugly at some point , and I won't be defending anyone when that happens, but the police have been utterly clueless .

He watched for a couple of minutes. We know from the delay that it was stuck for at least 30 minutes so maybe it happened outside the couple of minutes he was watching BBC News sports correspondent
