Stay off the pitch – there’s a spectacular climax at stake

|

ClaretandHugh has seen the programme of events that are planned for after the game this evening and we appeal to every supporter: “Stay off the pitch at the end.

Already this evening we look to be heading for trouble after the windows of the United coach were smashed on their way into the ground and we really don’t want anymore bother.

Quite apart from that the programme of entertainment really is top class and you will all want to see it.

The climax should be totally spectacular and heartbreaking. PLEASE STAY OFF THE PITCH – the old lady deserves more respect on her final bow.

Let’s ensure she gets the perfect farewell.

    Well done everyone of you,the most entertaining game of football left to the last ever game,
    We could have won by half a dozen goals,
    The fans as usual were amazing again the ref did us no favours,Smalling was all over Carroll,
    No Antonio is not a right back but Lanzini and Poyet were class again,it’s finding the right combo,AC and Sak worked there socks off,Noble was immense and what a leader,
    The defensive subs at the end was spot on,
    I am so proud of everything that is Claret and Blue,
    Have a great night lads and I have not had one beer YET
    MATTE be careful what you wish for,
    canchaz smile we are nearly there,
    Kev now celebrate
    3 more points and European Football that this side deserves

  • essexclarets says:

    How many experts over there will still be slagging of Bilic tonight???

  • bubs says:

    Can’t believe pug nose and Rooney are blaming our fans for the well below par team performance,they should have been in the ground 2-1/2 hours before they were and there would have been no trouble,they have been rubbish all season with the officials getting them out of the muck,they lost to us in the cup and they knew it,we have been a better side then them except in the cup replay,
    Just face Manure we are a better side then you,Van Gal is another Hippo with out dated tactics,
    We are the best side in London no question
