Don Hutchison raves about West Ham and Leeds United fans
Don Hutchison has been blown away by both West Ham and Leeds United supporters in the last week.
West Ham won 2-1 at Elland Road on Saturday to continue their impressive start to the season while Leeds won away at Fulham in the Carabao Cup last week.
Hutchison saw both games and was thrilled to see the supporters creating such an atmosphere at both matches.
“I think West Ham think they’re a big club,” said Hutchison on the Premier League website. “And I think that’s from the top, to the manager, to the coaching staff, to the players.
“The fans are incredible. Loved the away fans at Elland Road, I mean, I’ve been really impressed.
“I was at Fulham watching their 6,000 Leeds fans in the cup in midweek, and the stadiums are just amazing.”
Everything’s amazing
We’re seventh in the table with just one defeat to our names, we’re in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup after winning away at Manchester United and we got our Europa League campaign off to a winning start.
Could things be any better right now?
Of course, they could. But we’re West Ham fans and we’re simply not used to being one of the most feared teams in the Premier League.
Michail Antonio is scoring goals from left, right and centre. Jarrod Bowen is causing a nuisance for every defender he plays against. Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek are dominating the midfield and Kurt Zouma has been a massive, massive upgrade to our defence.
David Moyes deserves so much credit for all of this. He really does.
Before he came, we were at risk of being relegated to the Championship after Manuel Pellegrini and David Sullivan assembled a squad of over-paid, expensive players who didn’t connect with one another well at all.
Moyes and his coaching team have fixed those issues and with every transfer window that’s passed, we’ve looked stronger and stronger.
We’re loving this right now so it’s no shock that BBC pundit Hutchison is so blown away by our fanbase.
In other West Ham news, Zouma has shared why he joined the club in the summer.
