Just home. The match lacked atmosphere and Bolton looked poor imo.

Still a wins a win.

Yep, we won't face easier oppo than that again for a while, Bolton were utter st.

Generally quiet, felt like a pre-season game.

Decent work from Arna on the set-ups though and first 2 goals were well taken; their keeper utterly static throughout helped as well.

Missed the 3rd but watched a clip - great goal.

Couldn't see point in bringing Chica on though, especially as he promptly got fouled.

Can't make spuds game so Swans next for me.

I heard it could have been 5 or 6 nil but 3:0 and a clean sheet will do. For those that went, did you enjoy it?

For all the possession we didn't actually look like scoring that many, although Ogbomna's goal in 3 mins took the sting out of the game which was an easy cruise thereafter.

The tickets were really chap too last night priced at £15.00, £10.00 & £5.00 for kids.

I would have thought there may have been a bigger attendance but i think the reality is, is that nobody enjoys & wants to go there.

First game at the ground.

What a bloody walk from the station it is...

Nearly missed kick off due to the central line being closed. Bolton were awful. Absolutely dire.

No atmosphere but glad I went.

Meant to add to my earlier post that last night had one of the best programme covers, well done who ever designed it.

I wouldn't read to much into that, it was very much a protest game for us.

In all my 20 years as a season ticket holder that game would have been included in our season tickets, this season the powers that be (on top of ripping us off for a st) took away this game and the next cup game.

It had to be said after all the bks we had on this forum from other supporters ( yes mainly spurs fans) as to how we'd never fill our stadium blah blah blah ..and now every week on the radio right up to the day there's constant adverts for tickets for your games.

Three home games in 7 days is a little too much for a lot of fans. No one wants to be at Wembley for the whole season.

You won't see any spare seats in our new stadium.

No, you`d like to think spare seats would be tidied away somewhere. Who wants to see spare seats just lying around the place?

Empty seats on the other hand, will be as common as the inhabitants.

Don't worry, we'll take all your spare seats for the Carabao cup....

Good call by West Ham, would be nice if the Spuddies followed suit.

Or of course, a cynical marketing exercise to get more Mehico fans onside... ( most aren't happy that their hero is stuck out on the left, mind you, nor are the rest of us!)

Agreed, it would be nice to show some solidarity with the hammers here.

Missing this one as away for the weekend.

Team looks decent, Chica through the centre and AC & Sakho on the bench as impact subs.

COYI!!!

Looked good for 30 mins then Antonio went off injured and Carroll came on, dreadful since. HT 0:2 More or less gifted it to Spurs can't see us getting anything now...

We could have done without losing Antonio. Hope it's not serious.

Can't see us getting anything from this match now.

As a neutral the fun's been sucked right out of this. Come on Hammers, get an early goal.
