Well done to them - won on Pens in the end. We've already seen quite a bit of Reece Oxford so there's hope for the other's that they might be able to work their way up.
Think Justin Bieber will be in the first team next year at some point, looks a decent player.

Looks like tomorrow will be my last time at UP. My first match was in March 1966 so over 50 years. Can't get my head around it.

It'll be a strange feeling walking to & from UP for the last couple of games; hopefully end on two decent results though.

I went there once - in about 1973ish. Clyde Best was playing and not very well ... and Bobby Ferguson was in goal.

"We hate Bill Shankly and we hate the Kop
We fight Man Utd until we drop
We don't care a widdle
And we don't care a wk
We are the West Ham Boot Boys"

Probably not sung much now ...

hehe

Easter '67 for me and it's a strange feeling knowing you'll not go back.

Ironically my first and last games at the Boelyn will have both been Man Utd..
The first needing to win to stay up.. ( and in true WH way Geoff Pike missing a pen in the stroke of halftime) to this Tuesday maybe being a playoff for Europe.
Going to feel properly strange ..

Hot & humid at the ground.

Think Adrian out so Randolph in.

Hopefully should be a good one today.

FFS do our players know there's 8 other outfield players other than payet and Lanzini??
Been happening all half and results in the second goal when kayoute had an obvious like forward pass to Carroll tried to play Lanzini in instead and five passes later it's in the back of our net again.
Hopelessly exposed tone and time again in front of our back four.. Could have been 3 or 4 ... Wasn't in the script !!

Well chaps ....
Tonight could be one of the best nights my life if Bilic gets his team right, the players can cope with the occasion, and the fans behave, and a chance to show the world what "West Ham "
means.
Unfortunately I've a horrible feeling it's not going to turn out like that at all, really feeling nervous that it will be properly spoilt.
Let's hope not.

Provided we avoid the clusterfk that was Saturday's shambles then we ought to be ok.

Suspect there'll be a few changes - can't see Antonio starting at RB again so Tompkins in; maybe Collins for Og as well and no start for Moses.

RE the occasion hopefully bulk will be post-game, at least pitch related.

Looking forward to it.

COYI!!!

I went last Saturday for the last time. I couldn't get a ticket for tonight at a sensible price so watching on TV. It's been 50 years at UP for me. First match March 1966 (we lost), last match last Saturday. Oh well, that's West Ham.

The charge at the final whistle will be epic I predict.

Local Screwfix will have sold out of tool belts as the stadium is dismantled.

Watch ebay tomorrow for seats and related memorabilia.

Agree completely re' the team and formation, hopefully Bilic has learnt his lesson.
I'm more concerned about pissed up idiots trying to make a name for themselves at the end.

Already happening - I saw a bloke post game on Saturday who'd helped himself to a claret & blue ladies loo sign.

Not sure why he's prevailed w/ Antonio for so long w/ Tompkins fit - Man U saw him as the defensive weak link in the Cup game; and swansea tore him apart - he's also wasted back there as we miss his creativity going forward.

Think security at pitch-side post game will be very strong & presumably some announcements made to keep off pitch etc. Whether anyone pays any attention of course remains to be seen party
