    Good luck to the Hammers this evening. Just put that bloke who held off all the scrotes in hoodies at Alkmaar at centre half if the going gets tough!
    Knollsy! Yea could do with a good Julian Dicks type lol.

    @TeleMaster - Enjoy the game - Hope you win and have a few bears after - I dare say it will be the last game for Rice, so hope he goes out lifting the trophy - I'll be watching later

    What a great combination Currie and Rice would be

    Not sure if you'll remember Tony Currie from the 70's - cracking midfield player

    I'm aware of the player but we've met, do I look old enough? :lol:

    I know your still a pup - I suppose we all know of some older players more than others - But far less tv coverage back then 

    Recall many flair players back then (70's) that never really got enough international call ups - Bowles, Marsh, Alan Hudson instantly spring to mind

    Must have been great back then to see Moore, Best + Marsh playing for Fulham - even if it was for a couple of games - Would not happen now as they'd all sod off to S Arabia

    So Currie and Rice in midfield

    What other great combinations can we make in a team

    Jason Steele & Jimmy Bullard. Steele Bullard. No one gets past them. (I did shoehorn Jason Steele in tbh, he barely plays lol).

    I'm not a fan of the club, but for some reason I'm really rooting for West Ham tonight. My pal was a big fan but he died 8 years ago, maybe that has a bearing.

    That's sad, sorry to hear that. I'm sure he'd be a proud fan today.

    I hope West Ham United win tonight. Winning something in European competition has to be good for the Premier League.

    I hope they get stuffed, frankly.

    Id support any British team in Europe, even Southampton (Pompey fan). 

    Hope the hammers win it.

    Got no bad blood for Moyes or West Ham (although didn't appreciate them pumping us 4-0), and Antonio will always be beloved at Forest...so happy to see them win it..

    Would love to see West Ham win. It's great to see they've kept faith in Moyes after a poor season, rather than the Leeds/Spurs pluck-a-manager approach. Hopefully the board and fans will be rewarded later this evening.

    Must be a great thrill with all the nerves and anticipation - I was only 14 when we were last in a European final so only just remember it - Prior to that we were in 4 other European finals but I was to young to recall and barely any TV coverage back then anyway - I can recall 2 European semi-finals, within 2 years, both a touch over 20 years ago - So jealous of your trip but enjoy the whole experience

    All the best to the spammers and their fans. When we went to the Europa League final years ago (stuffing Juve on the way) it was the best time to be a Fulham fan, many happy memories even if we didn't quite get over the line.

    Hopefully Moyes' boys can go one better!

    Thanks for all the support! I'm in the pub, I'm with my mates, whatever happens happens. Good luck to Fiorentina, i hope there's no nasty fouls or any silliness and we have a fair and open game.

    COYI!!!

    West Ham is going to get in trouble after this game for the cups throwing now I think.  It’s only been 35mins and 0-0 still, what’s wrong with those people. (Minority)

    Terrible behaviour from a minority of West Ham fans.  I hope they find the culprits.

    It’s a shame, there’s always an idiot or 2, like the Man U fan at the FA Cup.

    Yea it's such stupid behaviour. Not a great first half really.

    WHU better in the second half but that would not be hard to do. It is a strange game that they are level as we approach full time.

    Good to see West Ham lift a major European trophy.  Great for English football.  Happy for Moyes also, well deserved.

    Does this mean there could be a West Ham / Liverpool final in the Europa next year?

    Got to say I like the creation of the Conference League, some decent teams in and less monopolised by the establishment, feels like a proper cup competition.

    Big Congrats to WHU. 

    As @guitars4you has said elsewhere, really get the feeling that this means a LOT more to West Ham and their fans than winning does to the clubs more accustomed to winning.

    And what a way to do it.  Deserved, IMHO.
