West Ham supporters fought among themselves and clashed with stewards and visiting fans in what was just the club’s second Premier League game at their new home – though police made no arrests inside the ground.

And we won because of what we did, not West Ham’s mistakes.
“Perhaps we are still delayed one or two weeks of preparation, but now I know we are very competitive and hopefully starting from tomorrow we will start to do a great competition”.
“If anyone was looking to score another goal it was us”. At half-time some of the players were already pale, so I didn’t want to give them more criticism.
The Football Association has confirmed it will investigate the crowd disturbances that occurred during West Ham’s Premier League match at home to Watford on Saturday.
“Their second was a classic for YouTube – no communication between two players – but these things happen”.
The Hammers and Hornets have been busy during the transfer window, with Watford playing their part by spending fifty million pounds on midfield and defensive players, adding to the unsafe duo in attack of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo.
The pick of the bunch was Deeney’s inch-perfect lob of Adrian that punished a mix-up between the goalkeeper and James Collins.
“He has helped the whole team with this confidence and I think the whole team approached the game, especially after the first two goals, with the right mentality”. “They should have to do something better to hurt us”.
“He hasn’t played for us, apart from as a substitute against Chelsea, but he played 45 minutes for France against Italy, and then 35 minutes against Belarus”, said Hammers manager Slaven Bilic.

“All we can do is say sorry to the fans for that and move on to the next game”. “I really didn’t see anything”, Bilic said. “It was way too early for us to switch off, it wasn’t like it was the 85th minute”.
