The amount of pearl clutching over GA flippantly saying he is "scared" of the Championship next season is quite hilarious. Probably should have used other terminology, but QPR fans telling him to be more positive is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. That is like Eeyore telling Mickey Mouse to lighten up once in a while.
BT Sport amuse me, they have some excellent knowledgeable journalists, presenters and pundits but generally leave them on a side channel whilst bumbling idiots who have played a bit take centre stage. James Horncastle is excellent and is mostly on the final coverage for his wide knowledge of Italian football, whereas Carlton Cole thinks West Ham will win because they don't have thunderstorms in Italy.
It's funny seeing it at another club but there are multiple audiences for that message, fans never really like it unless they're getting credit for punching above their weight, and that will only come with success. He'll want to squeeze players and agents on wages, either get more money from the owners or some acknowledgement that he's doing a difficult job but the spirit does need a bit of a boost there and you know he'll be out if they don't get a good start. Suppose he's also doing a bit of reputation work for his next job which might depend on an owner ignoring this stint .
I just don't even get it. You make a European final, and your first thought is to assault the opposition rather than enjoy the occasion? Absolute animals. If West Ham win, it is tarnished, and if they lose, they can always wonder if their fans galvanized the opposition.
There are some very good teams in this competition, so I still think it is a major trophy. Well done Hammers! They are like the little cockney brother everyone mocks but most are secretly happy for when something nice happens.
I think it unfairly impinges on a team's ability to use a legitimate tactical weapon. Are players going to be expected to make the balls wet in dry conditions?

Yep, ridiculous.
But he'll do well not to overdo trying to make QPR out to be a minnow in that league.

Moyes: Good game lads, there's your charter flight over there. I'm taking the stagecoach to Glasgow. Laters.
West Ham fans pelting opposition players with projectiles, causing the game to get paused? Surely not!
Surely some mistake.
West Ham fans are well known for being lovely.
Rice and co. seem to have reasoned with them, but the poor Fiorentina player was bleeding A LOT.

'Bonna' means good...or ace

70 days to the next game....
Really pleased that Moyes has at long last got a team to win a trophy.
Hats off to him & West Ham for grinding out a result given they were second best for most of the game.
We're forever throwing bottles...
Arguably the highlight of the entire season that. Well done West Ham 🏆
"We're the champions of Europe!"
"no sorry that's the Champions League"
"erm OK, well we're the champions of the best of the rest of europe"
"no again, apologies but that's the Europa League"
"right, so we're the champions of the dregs of the best of the rest of european competition?"
"that's more like it!"
It's the Cup Winners Cup. Even if nobody won a cup.
Credit where credit's due, this three-comp UEFA set-up is very good.
Wycombe champions of Europe in 1975
More like winning the League 1 play-off final.
In fairness that was about as enjoyable a game as a neutral could get.

Most
The EFL have banned the use of towels to try the ball before throw-ins. Weird.
I think I agree with that decision.
I think it unfairly impinges on a team's ability to use a legitimate tactical weapon. Are players going to be expected to make the balls wet in dry conditions?
Can they use a large flannel or a small sheet instead?
Marlow have won their appeal against their lateral move to the Southern League Division One Central. They will remain in Isthmian South-Central.
I see a market for ball drying machines opening up before our eyes. Any investors?
Use your shirt, takes ages when they start faffing about with towels
I'm afraid your pitch is just a lot of hot air
Well I hope you like your balls wet then Eric.
