Trevor Brooking: "You hoped the game would be remembered for the right reasons, Its been an awesome night. Overall West Ham deserved to win but 3-2 is a great game to end it all. Everyone here will remember."
It won't be remembered as a 3-2 mid-table win, it'll be remembered for crowd violence, a delayed kick-off and a smashed-up away team bus.

should be remembered for what a good game it was. West Ham must be kicking themselves, if they had beaten Swansea they'd be 4th now
Two things 1.Boleyn ground ??? Always, always known as Upton Park to everyone. Why are they so adamant its known as something different now? 2. This farewell party is absolute turds. 3. I have no idea why i am watching it

the farewell party is dreadful, should have just let the fans run on the pitch

Jonathan Pearce in his 1548 Capital Gold days always annoyingly called it the Boleyn Ground but nobody else did.
Don't remember Sky going this OTT when Highbury, surely a more historic ground than the "Boleyn Ground", had it's last game there.
The comperes, in particular the lady, are shocking. Symtamatic of the over the top cliches and repeating of questions that have no substance so common place today.
Such a shame because that felt like a match from the distant past with player commitment and a fantastic atmosphere.
My first ever away game.I was 16.Me and my mate got the tube all the way over from Putney Bridge on the district line. Neither of us had ever been there and just decided to head for a terrace to stand on.First few minutes and Bonds or Lampard clatters into Dave Thomas. "Send him off" I shout.Then I suddenly realised I'm the only one shouting it,and that we're standing in the Chicken Run,and there are angry faces staring at me. Luckily it was only peanuts thrown my way and not punches. One of their biggest blokes turns round to me and says "Shut yer mouf mate you ain't at 'ome now.
I don't remember celebrating our 2 goals too much and left just before the final whistle.

As intimidating as Upton Park could be, they never really bothered with any of us. We weren't on their radar and from what I experienced couldn't care less as long as we didn't group up or make too much noise. Generally stood on the South Bank, though did use the West Side on a couple of occasions because we liked their bars staying open after the match and, the West Ham who stayed for a drink afterwards were alright. But back to the South Bank...useful firm of theirs in the middle and when we scored you'd have to make the mental calculation if jumping was in ones best health interests. As it was, it always surprised me just how many did jump, with very little consequences as a result, only ever saw a couple of scuffles, none of them serious. As I said, you just didn't take the piss and for the best part you'd be fine.

You're right there.I think they seem to have a hatred of half of the other London teams,but we aren't one of them. I was also there for the 3-0 win in August 87?,and there were fans being arrested and thrown out at 2.50,and that was 10 minutes before the season had even started.
The queue for the tube last time was a lot worse than I ever remember before,and its likely to be even worse at Stratford.
Surprised no one has referred to the 3-0 win there at the start of the 87-88 season.
First half by the Rangers was one of the finest ever. Totally mullared them. The next day, Rangers had an open day and I was talking to Mark Dennis - who like Wayne Fereday was unplayable in the wing-back role - and he said that he'd offered Mark Ward out in the tunnel at half time. They'd be going at it for the first 45.
Great game.
Larged it, but left very quietly after the game.

Should Rangers ever leave Loftus Road, please do not let poxy Sky anywhere near us. What a muck up they made of it. If I were a West ham fan and that was my last memory of being in Upton Park I would be seriously peed off.
They just hijacked it and took away any chance of the fans actually celebrating the place. ‘You will enjoy the way we want you to’ say Sky. No wonder they’d been banging on about it so much.
It's the fans chance to say goodbye to the place, just leave them to it.
