I was born and brought up in East London and have supported West Ham for as long as I can remember. Though they’ve never been super successful, I’ve always loved their footballing philosophy – their enthusiasm and the way they always try to play attractive football.
Today a young and newly-promoted West Ham side played against Liverpool in their first FA Cup Final for 26 years. And lost. On penalties.
It was a thrilling game and they played so well; played their hearts out and very nearly won, leading 3-2 at the very end of the match before Steven Gerrard scored an incredible equaliser on the stroke of full time. And then they hit the post in extra time.
And I know it will mean nothing to them tonight, but this afternoon they really did themselves, their club and their supporters proud.
I’m still gutted though.
Oh poor you! My cousin is a West Ham fan too and I absolutely hate Liverpool! I support Man U! Don’t hate me for it!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Arsenal lost!!!!!
And my brother was there! Oh tee hee!
