It’s tearful Slaven as Irons supply perfect ending

Irons 3 Man United 2

My Lady Boleyn – you deserved every second of that truly wonderful game of football – thank you for everything. It’s been marvelous  and what a way to say goodbye.

Manchester United – our oldest and perhaps fiercest enemy having come from one down to lead 2-1 beaten 3-2 by a West Ham showing absolutely everything you want from your team…, great passing…terrific goals and the ability to face up to adversity and laugh at it.

We beat a team who thought they had their feet in the Champions League but because of a new found resileince and determination to ensure that on our most important night ever we simply wouldn’t be beaten this became an epic victory.

Winston Reid scored the last goal the Boleyn will see – a great effort from the inevitable Payet free kick and it was over,  finished. The perfect ending.

Sakho had opened the scoring with a deflected effort after some perfect football and from Lanzini and Cresswell.

But United levelled six minutes into the second half through Martial after a long De Gea punt was helped on by Mata. Martial added the second with a tightly angled shot and with 15 minutes left Payet finally found Antonio to head home and then came the Reid winner.

We so wanted it…we challenged for absolutely everything and anything other than an Irons victory  would have been a total injustice.

This may well have been the greatest game of football seen on this old and wonderful ground  – I don’t know. But if it wasn’t then it’s a photo finish.

Amazing game…amazing stadium and at the end Slaven was in tears -sometimes words are not enough so we’ll repeat the only two that matter. To the lads, the manager, the owners and everybody involved at the club but chiefly to the Lady Boleyn:

THANK YOU Thank you for everything!
