Hearing Joe Cole say world ("weld") is irrationally annoying

I think it's pretty cool to see. It annoys me when people try and shit on trophies like this with some kind of trophy elitism. It's a trophy - it's not bloody easy to win. A lot of games, a lot of opportunity to slip up - and for many clubs it's absolutely massive to take something like this. You can see what it means to West Ham and conversely how gutted Fiorentina are.

It’s the sort of thing United fans used to spout all the time, you’d think a decade in the wilderness would’ve copped us on. 58 years they’ve gone, and some are mocking them for celebrating!

Should have given Moyes more time. We would be champions of Europe now, instead we have the League Cup :(

Nah, it’s a trophy that was thought for smaller markets… which makes an Italian mid table and an English mid table (aka both pretty rich) team contending it, all much a farce.

Trophy looks like an even lower budget knockoff of the Europa League trophy

You are right!

Both the players and the fans enjoy winning a trophy, whatever trophy it might be.

And I never understood the dilemma "win a cup and finish 7th, or win nothing and finish 4th?". Usually, when you have a good team you can win a cup and finish 4th, or even better, finish 1st. It is not like winning a cup disqualifies you from finishing top-4!

I’ve got a vase in my back garden that looks like it.

But, it’s not the trophy itself and despite not liking West Ham, I can’t be anything but happy for them. Our cup winners cup win against Barca felt special, this is the same tier trophy. It’s a good feeling.

Conference League is the best thing UEFA have done in years. Fantastic for clubs like West Ham.

I agree. The vast majority of players will never win anything. Winning a trophy is a special moment and they should take pride in it.

Good lad Rice, now come to United.
I'm sure he would do but I would hope he puts in better performances at his next club than tonight. That was a pretty bad display, i was actually quite shocked at how poor he was.

Moyes like DiMatteo has never lost a European final
Unlike Klopp, Fergie, LvG, Mou and Pep

West Ham fans singing We Are The Champions of the World after winning the 3rd tier European competition is proper embarrasing.

Yeah he had a very bad game, but that's far below his level this season.
