This is mental. 2 West Hams fans blocking the top of the stairs as the AZ Ultras tried to get to the players families.
Saw that. Reminds me of the story of that Norwegian berserker in Harald Hardrada’s army who held off the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
Unfortunately, while doing so, he ruined his best tee-shirt. I'm trying to track him down to give him a replacement...
Imagine him in his prime bloody hell. Don’t like what kicked off but had to laugh at the West Ham version of the 300 minus 298.
Yes, so the story goes. He killed 40 Anglo-Saxon housecarls on the bridge and allowed the rest of Hardrada’s army to regroup and form a defensive line. He was killed when an Anglo-Saxon volunteered to go under the bridge with a spear and thrust it underneath a gap between the wooden planks on the bridge, killing the berserker.
Alkmaar’s ‘ultras’ are a right bunch of fannies. Dozens of them ran off with their tails between their legs after getting a good hiding from two middle-aged geezers with beer bellies Got them into a bottleneck then just leathered **** out of them.
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of iron. but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of west ham comes crashing down... but it is not this day! This day we fight
