When was the last time we won at home? I cant even remember
Jaysus, that "emotional" aka standard home win over the neighbours must have worn off by now.
The opposition had nothing to play for, and had 8 players out. If ever a trip to West Ham was a gimme, this was it, and it showed. Eventually. The first half though was far from vintage. We struggled until we went ahead, and even when we did, we had a major scare at half time, when the corner kick jitters returned. Thankfully, it was a Liverpool fan himself who hit the post twice, who has said he wants to play for us in the past. He may never realise that ambition, but we'll send him a new flat screen tv or something for him to watch us play in Europe next year. They seemed to pack it in after that, and allowed us to run away with it. They literally stopped playing in the move that led to the third goal, and it's our fifth win in London this season in 6 games, and our first win at West Ham since scoring the two penalties in the 2014 run in. But that place looks a very strange environment to play Premiership football with a strange atmosphere. Most away teams have got good results there, and we took full advantage of the wide open spaces it provides. After half time.
Same again next week where a side in holiday mode show up at our place. Score early on and we can send them to their next destination with another 4. Or even more.
