West Ham- an achievement or not ?

When you win any cup competition you have to be applauded. However, this 3rd tier competition( a UEFA money making tournament) is for teams that are not quite good enough. For Moyes, it represented a stay of execution when his team badly struggled in the PL. in fact , any other club would have sacked him , long before now, as the Championship loomed closer and closer , as we all finished singing Auld Lang Syne. Last nights game will be remembered for the unfortunate idiotic behaviour which led to an Italian player sustaining a serious and unnecessary injury. It looks as though the club will be fined heavily because of this incident.
Can West Ham use this success to move forward next season ? It looks unlikely right now. Moyes may even be under more pressure than he was this last 3 months.
West Ham fans, enjoy your success. It’s been a long time coming.

Achievement- yes definitely

It’s not easy to win any game but several in a cup competition is difficult at any level of football

Pleased for West Ham tbh I think they’re a good club with traditions much like ourselves.

The distraction from the Premier league didn’t help them I don’t think, and Declan rice is in my opinion un replaceable without him they could struggle again next year especially with Europa league qualification.

Tremendous achievement to win a European trophy. All credit to West Ham, they could easily have sacked Moyes but they held their nerve and it's paid off. Good luck to them.

I felt sorry for the Hammers fans who were seriously assaulted pre-match and missed the game.

I'm not a fan of the Czech Republic nor their brutal policing policy.

As for winning the trophy, a win's a win.

Definitely an achievement..Puts them automatically into Europe next season.

Bring back the Inter Cities Fairs Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup at the same time. Those were the days !!

def an achievement but spoiled by one nob head who shamed the Club and fans and will cost them dearly.
