Irons Didn't Fear An Teeny Bit!

They came, they saw, they conquered! That was just the Press! Apart form a disgraceful act of stupidity which involved a deranged fan hurling a vape at one of tonight's opponents, Hammers fans bathed themselves in glory by ingratiating themselves with the locals in Prague and creating a carnival atmosphere as they took over the town!

The game might not have been pretty on the eye, however it was a really dramatic final that could have gone either way. Fiorentina came to play act, foul, time waste and con the referee. The Ref obviously had been given a word in his shell like at half time regarding how he was being duped because after the restart he began handing out yellows to the Viola and not paying as much attention to their whinging.

The end of first half goal that Fiorentina had chalked off by the narrowest of margins could have been a complete game changer, as it was it was fractionally off side and Hammers lived to fight another day! Benny the Penny's spot kick gave Hammers a deserved lead early in the 2nd half but the massive Irons contingent's joy was short lived as the Italians struck back within a few minutes.

With the scores level it was Fiorentina who were in the ascendancy and Hammers were under the cosh, however they stuck to their task and restricted the opposition to very little meaningful posssesiin where it really mattered. The game looked set to go to extra time when 'Pacman', who else? Slid through an inch perfect pass for Jarrod Bowen to spring the offside trap and race on to score past the flailing keeper.

All hell broke loose but Hammers maintained their discipline and saw out the huge amount of extra time to raise the club's first trophy in over FIFTY THREE YEARS! Pacqueta was immense as were most of the players. Kehrer was superb having to come on for the injured Zouma in the 61st minute and performed admirably in whatwas a real battle.

Declan Rice raised more questions than answers with his statement regarding whether he would be leaving the club or not, but that is for another time. Now is the time to celebrate, rejoice and probably acquire a bit of a head ache. West Ham are MASSIVE every where they go! - Ed

Only way this smile is

Only way this smile is disappearing is if they have to surgically remove it!!!! Heart is still racing now almost 3hours since the game finished (and I'm sitting at a desk at work)

Fights broke out when some

Fights broke out when some Fiorentina Fans dressed all in Black that attacked the West Ham fans who were in a Pub prior to the Match. 30 plus arrests. This violence makes no sense. But a great day for West Ham and we love what Rice stated in his post match interview. He clearly stated that there was a lot of speculation and he is a Hammer as he still has two years left on his contract. But the wait and see clause could also mean a further extension to his contract.....LOL, just speculating!! Great to know that we will be in the Europa Cup next season, while Spuds have no European Competition to attract any top talents!!

Unbelievable

Oh happy day oh happy day when Bowen scored When Bowen scored Oh Happy day oh Happy dayyyyyyyys.....crying tears of joy and this morning it feels so good the local newsagent a chelski fan ha! my boss a spuds fan lol these are the days to live for COYI we are MASSIVE every where we go

Im with 65 on that one, bit of grit in the eye! its what being a Hammer is all about... Family! i said a prayer for my Grandad (was at the 1923 final) and Dad (life long fan) and knew, god knows why, they were both with me enjoying the moment. We are now 5 generations West Ham and delighted that the latest (4 year old grandson) already has something to smile about!!! COYI's, KTF!!!!
