Every player became a living Irons legend today

There really are no words to describe the emotions after a game like that…it goes down as one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen from a West Ham United team in all the years of supporting this wonderful club.

My first words on the ClaretandHugh Facebook forum were these: “Thank you God for letting me live long enough to see the Hammers of 2015/16. I’m just a kid again.”

Nearly an hour letter I can find none better to sum up how it felt to watch Super Slaven Bilic’s men complete the most magical and breathtaking treble in our history with away wins at Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Savour every single second left in this amazing day because it’s unlikely there will be another like it for a very long time to come.

The stats showed that we had only 28 per cent of possession yet here we are tonight celebrating one of the greatest League victories in our history.

Some have already tried to claim that City didn’t pay us enough respect in a first half when we went two up. You know what, I don’t care because the Victor Moses thunderbolt and Sak’s close range effort were brilliantly taken in their different ways. We were in one word – SUPERB.

In the second half we witnessed Adrian and Winston Reid withstanding relentless pressure, the like of which even I can’t remember over many, many years.

Every single man at the back became a living legend on this day – they and every one of those tracking back to help out were quite simply awesome.

Manager Slaven Bilic takes so much – in fact all the credit – for masterminding this extraordinary victory and those at Arsenal and Liverpool.

I have written before that he is going to become one of our great managers – he may become our greatest and tonight I pay him homage. Superman Slav – you’re a sensation.

There were so many doubters – that was natural – and even those who believed he was the obvious choice could never have expected this.

We are a wonderful team and we are sitting in second place and with Leicester City, the Leagues top scorers. Incredible stuff given we have new players, a new back room staff and new manager.

Thank you for reading this – now go and celebrate!
