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.
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

Antonio playing at RB is OK, providing he gets some cover from some defensively minded midfielders in front of him who can double up and give him some cover.But Bilic doesn't seem to see how exposed Antonio is, and lest Cheikh, Noble and the like play so far forward we get caught with teams running at out back four time and time again. We've got away with it countless times at home by the skin of our teeth, didn't on Saturday. Not a moan, (a great, great season), but it seems to be glaringly obvious against a certain style of play.
It is a bit odd. No fellani or (from what I've read) martial for man u today.

Just starting my journey now, Saturday was supposed to be the last one for me but managed to sneak another in. Although I don't have tickets just going to enjoy the atmosphere in the pub one last time.
Can't see how the atmosphere in the pub will be any different next season. I use the Black Lion in Plaistow and will continue to do so.Still ENJOY!

Looking at the pics on Twitter it's already very busy at & around the ground so suspect quite a few people are doing the same.I'll be off from Chelmsford shortly. Can't wait.

Not mentioned that on Sky.
Try the beeb."There was congestion in the street and they couldn't get the coach in. There were people around the coach, but there was no attack on the coach.
"If you check the coach there won't be any damage to it. If we arrived late at Old Trafford they wouldn't put the kick-off back."

Kick off delayed until 8.30 because your scumbag fans smashed up the Utd coach outside the ground 
What a lovely send off.
Not mentioned that on Sky.What a lovely send off.
Lol.
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney: "It wasn't nice. The coach got smashed up, but we're here now, so have to prepare for the game and go out and do our job”.
How ugly was it?
“I'm sure you'll see the images. That's not for me to say, but I think it was disappointing of course. We know it's a big game for West Ham, big night for them, leaving the stadium, but I'm sure West Ham as a club will be disappointed with what the fans have done."

West Ham co-Chairman David Sullivan speaking to 5 live: "It is depressing really, it will be a late night for our fans and some of them won't be able to stay. I don't understand why United couldn't get here at 4pm. They could have got here early. They knew it would be busy. It's crazy.

if what Sullivan s saying is true why are there pictures of riot police and teargas? "There was congestion in the street and they couldn't get the coach in. There were people around the coach, but there was no attack on the coach.
