West Ham United FC vs Liverpool FC, Boleyn Ground, London
West ham 2 – 3 Liverpool
£55 just because it’s Liverpool FC, seriously! I mean to be honest I can afford that but many can’t and they want to get the local community involved with the club…
Anyway my first game at Upton Park, a real old fashioned football stadium as they should be, close to the action and noisy with it. Having been to the Olympic Stadium a couple of times I can’t see how (if they do move there) they will match this there even with some major modifications.
To the action, firstly I don’t think West Ham deserved to lose, however I’m glad they did as we are now 4 points off the top 4 which is pretty incredible following the start of the season. Glen Johnson’s opener was a screamer from the edge of the box and by far the best goal I’ve seen from the weekend. it was a pretty decent game with both teams being in control for large periods of the match.
