Diego Poyet says tweet was just banter

David Gold is not the only Hammer apologising for his misdeeds on twitter today, new signing Diego Poyet received some abuse on twitter after a tweet over two years old emerged where he says “Upton park on Saturday, We hate West ham We Hate West Ham #Scum’

Diego took to twitter this afternoon to apologise saying “For all yous getting on to me about that tweet 2 years ago it was banter between some of my friends and me when I went to watch a game and I was supporting my dads team (Brighton). Obviously I regret it looking at it now but there’s nothing I can do about it. I apologise. I was 16 at the time and very naive, I will learn from my mistakes. I’m very happy to be at the club and have loved my time here so far.”
