Some West Ham bloke on the radio (Gold or the other one) pretty much blamed it on Man U for getting there late.
They did the same away to Spurs, game delayed there as well. Don't think it would get delayed if it was at Old Trafford. United had been told to arrive early because of the traffic/people because of tonights event. Arrogant ****'s, hope they lose.
1-2 Utd - it's all gone tits up for the Hammers, although the scoreline could easily have been reversed if Martial had not been on the line a bit earlier to clear Andy Carroll's header from a corner. 2-2 now! 3-2 fairy tale ending?

Was half hoping Man Ure would overtake Citeh tonight - imagine Guardiola turning up in the summer with no Champs League to prepare for : priceless
West Ham must be wishing they had turned up against Swansea last Sat. Wonder how our last match at Loftus Road will go?
Craig Forrest, an excellent, knowledgeable football panel commentator here made the trip over from Canada for tonight's final match. He likely relished the fairy tale 3-2 comeback match result after his own past goalkeeping encounters with Man Utd. "He was the unfortunate goalkeeper on the receiving end of the heaviest Premiership defeat in history when Ipswich lost 9–0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford in March 1995." "Forrest signed for West Ham United in the summer of 1997 for £500,000.[3] Forrest played a number of first-team games in the FA Premier League in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the east Londoners, remaining at Boleyn Ground until his retirement from football in 2002. On 1 April 2000 he was again the goalkeeper for a big defeat by Manchester United. Although West Ham scored first, the game finished 7-1 to Manchester United.[4]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Forrest
Unfortunately it is now raining on their post match parade celebrations. Our own Phil Parkes arrives on the field in one of the many black cabs, along with Martin Peters. Now Rob Green. ...and a Bobby Moore clip scoring a goal against us.
Nothing like the W@@kfest that SKY did tonight. When we finally move into Tony's ''Pie in the sky' stadium we will be lucky if we get 30 secs coverage. Maybe we can borrow Phil Parks for one of those Sky moments? Oops i forgot he did it for West Ham tonight. I guess we can always get "clappy Mackie' to shed a few tears. If not Lily Allen is always a good bet for crying at a football match.
