Goodbye to Boleyn

Hard to believe it was two years ago tonight that David De Gea couldn't hold Winston Reid's header and West Ham were beating Man United 3-2 in the much-missed Boleyn Ground. Looking at the line-ups most of the West Ham players are still here, which makes you realise how much they have underachieved in the last two seasons. 

Only Randolph, Sakho and some bloke called Payet have left. Antonio, Ogbonna, Reid, Cresswell, Kouyate, Noble, Lanzini and Carroll are all still with us. The players were not to blame for the new stadium problems or various injuries, but having finished seventh that season they should surely have a achieved a lot more. Do they have the desire to prove they can be as good again next season? Let's have a bit more of that spirit tonight. Irons!
