Manuel has a point
Pinned threads don’t get looked at.
Very few replies on this considering the subject matter.

If you haven't seen the highlights, definitely worth a watch.

Would like to see Mubama get some Premier league time before the season finishes.

OK mate, I also see your side of things, but this is not about West Ham. This about any young teams In the future getting a fair crack at a final which maybe for some of the lads an opportunity of a lifetime.
I just see it as totally unfair.

Let's not forget that our U23's were second only to Man City last season, and most of them have left in order to find first team football.
Let's hope this younger, current lot get given more of a look in.

How very true Trundle….I can’t help but think that is a non footballing obstacle though seeing as the cunt doesn’t want them to play it….

Seems like they've got the biggest obstacle they could possibly have to hurdle with Moyes managing the first team.

rumford, I totally get how you see it, but for me at youth level I want them to have every obstacle possible and have that confidence of knowing they can beat anyone before they get into the 1st team and find out they have VAR & cunt refs to contend with......this may make us into moaners and constantly in the refs ear like the cheating big clubs do......it seems to be the standard bearer these days for being a winner.

Iagree the allocation for a final should be 50/50 .However I dIsagree with staging the final at their ground.As most fans know it used to be a 2 legged final and was normally well attended.
Fortunately we are better side than Arsenal,we finished top the league and beat them twice on the way.Had the final been between 2 mid table sides then home advantage would be a big factor.

We turned it into a home game. Have got a load of family who are Gooners and they were there that night. Kept texting me and asking us to 'shut the fuck up' as we were making too much noise. Oh the irony.

Yes I agree with allocation.....should just be 50/50 and see what the uptake is.....again though....in the end our support being grouped at one end I think worked in our favour, as it looked like a proper support and not spread out.....

Fair enough but they could have worked out the allocation after the semi finals and given us a bigger allocation.

I’ve got no problem with it being played at the Emirates. It’s not exactly difficult to get to. But 7k tickets was shit. We could have sold double.

I don't think it made a difference, it's hardly their 'home' pitch, and you find out, like we did, if you really have a good team....

It's shit for the away team (i.e. us) but the arrangement probably allows them to sell far more tickets than it would if it were played somewhere neutral, even if it ends up usually as a defacto home game although thanks to us it was pretty much the opposite on Tuesday. (Shows the difference between West Ham fans and Arsenal fans, i think) Very good ticket pricing as well.

Because they were drawn at home for the final. It's how they've done it for a couple of years now.

Anyone know why Arsenal were allowed to play the final at home, and we only got 7k tickets?

Sorry if this has already been answered, but what's the story with the young kid they brought up with them when they lifted the cup?

Only thing those kids need is a bit of pace and power. Some will naturally develop it - others might need some guidance.
Get them in the gym and sprint training this Summer.
Come back next season ready to dominate.
