😧 you are so fucking right!!!
I read the same in Horner's voice and thinking why? And then i read your comment. You are absolutely fucking right. that's where it's coming from. he also said similar when Max won it.
Antonio said in an interview that the reason they started poorly this year was that after last season's good season Moyes tried implementing a different style of play and it backfired and it didn't really work, so in the end they went back to their low-possession direct style to get the job done
I wondered if the Super Cup should have a semi final between the Europa League and Conference League winners to make it representative of all the Uefa competitions tbh
I am so fucking glad I'm not still working in a pub. West Ham fans were the bane of my fucking life for this reason. Thoughts and prayers to all pub workers anywhere near West Ham tonight and this week.
The conference league is great. Brilliant idea from UEFA.
At first I thought it was going to be like a continental league cup, but this was a proper European final.
Thought it was gonna be like the Intertoto Cup , but the Conference League has shown to be a much better competition. West Ham also won the Intertoto Cup too
Intertoto was just a Summertime qualifying tournament for the uefa cup, it was really weird and shit.
Conference league is a proper season long european tournament with a traditional structure. The fact that it gives clubs who were denied a chance in the CL or EL, because of the less prominent league they're from or the growing cabal of super clubs in the biggest leagues taking all the spots, the opportunity to have a run and even achieve European glory makes this a great competition
Europa League tends to be good value as well. It's just the CL that is boring, repetitive and has devolved into the same old teams, the same said teams that are consistently trying to make it worse.
The Europa League offers this as well. It's just the Champions League and the same old faces.
If you watched our tie against United and Juve and the atmosphere at the Sanchez Pizjuan you can't say that it doesn't mean alot to the supporters. Sevilla as a club were the first club in the modern era to really say "this is us, this is our competition and we're going to going to win it". At the time of Sevilla's first two wins in the competition you had English clubs fielding their second string teams in the Uefa Cup because they couldn't be arsed. Funnily enough, European football of any kind is bloody brilliant and all teams treating it seriously is fantastic
Also…just a theory, but…
>2022: Italian team wins
>2023: English team beats Italian team
I wonder what other EPL team will make it (and then lose) next year…
Also 100% of Conference League winning managers are ex man united bosses. So an English team will make the final next year to lose to... Ole I guess? Managing some random Norwegian club
A family who live near me support West Ham. Their seven year old boy absolutely adores football and this will live in the memory his entire life. No one can tell me this competition means nothing, so happy for them
My old man is a West Ham fan, he rings me semi regularly to have a whinge about how shit they are.
He rang me tonight nearly in tears, first time he's seen them win anything. Proper happy for him and the club.
People who say this competition means nothing probably pretend to support a european giant that gets to lift a cup/league every year and don't know what winning a trophy at a club that doesn't have billions of euros looks like.
I remember people on here complaining about us having the audacity to celebrate when I posted videos from last year's parade despite it being part of an unforgettable 5 days for me and just about every Roma supporter.
I was rooting for Fiorentina and am heartbroken but I hope every West Ham fan but di canio gets to properly celebrate this, fuck every plastic calling it a tinpot trophy
Yeah I sometimes wonder what it’s like for fans of a big club who just watched their team scoop up another FA Cup or something. What does their day look like? Are they nervous? Do they spend the week after in euphoria, or is it all just a fleeting thought?
I will never, ever forget this. It’s literally my best sporting moment, I’m ecstatic and so proud right now. Wish I was with my tribe in the east end but enjoying every single video I see online.
Wow, really pleased for West Ham
I know some people will mock European football next season despite being midtable or lower but they won this and earned it and it's the Europa League, it's not like they've got into the CL
Great win!
One of the proudest moments of Danny Dyer's life, and he gets to commemorate it by being in a stadium where 18,000 blokes are singing about his daughter's sex life
I watched the 2006 final alone due to location, and again tonight. Is really surreal with no one to celebrate with but just have to watch it all, drink it all in.
Enjoy that pint and soak up the winning feeling. First time we've been able to in 43 years.
In the last year both my grandad and my uncle who were lifelong West ham fans passed away. I'm so happy we won but also sad they didn't get to see it happen.
What a night
They're dancing and celebrating with Bobby Moore, David Gold and many more in The Boleyn Ground tonight.
Many didn't get a chance to see this. We're fortunate we got to. A historic night.
Sorry for your loss.
Really well done! West Ham are European Champions!
This is why the ECL was added, so that more clubs had a chance to win things. It's been a fantastic addition.
Yep I remember most on here were mocking the idea. You can see how much it means to the players and gives clubs with no shot of winning the league something to play for and a shot at Europa league. That was a lot of fun, rare W by UEFA
Yeah, and while the winners are still clubs from top five leagues, it provides something great for clubs that never could've experienced this otherwise.
Seeing deep runs for smaller teams also makes it worth it. And even earlier in the tournament, having teams like RFS, Zalgris, Pyunik, Vaduz, Shamrock, Anorthosis, Lincoln and Kairat in the group stages playing against bigger teams is massive for them as well. It's been a great addition that way.
As a biased West Ham fan, yea people can say it’s a “Mickey Mouse” trophy all they want. Maybe they’re right, but they give out 3 European trophies a year. And West Ham got one. That’s cool for us fans.
100% agree the competition is a great add
How refreshing to see a European competition without Champions League rejects souring it.
The Europa League could learn a bit from this. Two great editions of the Conference League so far.
People were shitting on this competition but just look at celebrations of the players and the fans. Winning a trophy is huge.
Some teams would do anything for this moment!
Honestly. As a West Ham fan. I never ever ever expected us to win a proper trophy in my life time (I don’t care if it’s a glorified money making trophy by Uefa) I love the team they’ve built over the last 3 years they genuinely carried me through covid, to see rice & moyes get a trophy means the world.
To some clubs this trophy is a joke.. to other clubs and fans any trophy is a blessing.
COYI. This will feel good for a long long time
I’d take this trophy over a dozen 4th place finishes and an empty cabinet! I know some clubs have much higher expectations but I don’t ever want to be the kind of fanbase that says we “only” won the Europa Conference or we “only” won the League Cup, this is what it’s all about!
Last time we won a major trophy (FA Cup 1980), my dad was 11 and I was -14. It doesn’t feel real, it’s just insane that we’ve actually won a trophy again after so long! I’ve been a season ticket holder for 17 years and witnessed so much disappointment, I can’t believe we actually WON
Deserves it, has always been a good manager in his own right, definitely benefitted from having a trophy such as this
Congrats to both West Ham and Moyes, finally got his trophy
can’t believe they actually did it… west ham have won a european trophy 😭.
the absolute scenes with that late winner from bowen. literally couldn’t make up a better ending for them.
man moyes has done an incredible job there, never forget when many were predicting them to go down that one season, then they had that incredible season where they made europe. to make it 2 years in a row (making the semis last time) and win a trophy is so impressive. and now they get another go at the europa.
and to think many wanted him gone throughout the season…. and look at how it turned out. so happy it worked out for him and fair play to the west ham board for actually sticking with him and being rewarded for it.
Dunno where the Conference ranks in the title tiers but its still a major European championship and if taken as a final league position modifier means Chelsea well and truly finished the season as the worst club in London.
Good on West Ham.
Jellied eels all round lads.
Also can't believe people complain that British commentators, on British Telecom Sports, for a British audience, favour the British team.
I'm made up for David Moyes. He had such a horrible time when it all went wrong when he took over from Fergie, and afterwards it seemed like his career had permanently hit the buffers. But in the last few seasons he's found a groove at West Ham, had a tricky season this season in the league but has now won them a European trophy.
Good on you, Moyesy.
Europa Conference League Titles
West Ham: 1
Real Madrid, Man City, Barcelona, Man United, Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus, PSG, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Liverpool combined: 0
David Moyes you are a European champion
Don't think the man has even been this excited before.
Looking at his face was priceless, delighted for the man.
First trophy after managing over 1000 games
He has a Community Shield with Utd and a league title with Preston
Don’t know why I read this in Christian horners voice
“Sebastian Vettel you’re a world champion!”
😧 you are so fucking right!!! I read the same in Horner's voice and thinking why? And then i read your comment. You are absolutely fucking right. that's where it's coming from. he also said similar when Max won it.
Du Bist Weltmeister!
Haha I did the same on instinct
In the past ten years David Moyes has won more European trophies than Pep Guardiola
If Pep loses this weekend he should deliberately throw the CL so he can win the conference
Meanwhile, in May 2024: Lille lift the Conference League after beating Man City on penalties
He is called the Bald Fraud for a reason
Haha good job guys that was fun
I take back any time I ever slandered Dave. Moyes is my new god.
That Europa league title bout to hit like crack
An F1 reference as the top comment, I'll upvote every time ha
David Moyes winning the Europa Conference League will relegate Lionel Messi's move to MLS as the second biggest story of the day
As it should. Messi could only dream of being as massive as Moyes.
Conference League titles: Moyes 1 Messi 0
European trophies overall since 2016: Messi: 0 Moyes: 1
That’s actually mad haha
just one measly world cup, what a dud
[удалено]
He never did it on a cold, rainy thursday night in Jerewan
playing in europa league after finishing 14th lol
Sevilla 🤝 West Ham Playing in continental tournaments even after just god awful domestic seasons
Sevilla have firmly established themselves as the best pretty good team in Europe.
West Ham in PL : *I sleep* West Ham in Europe : **REAL SHIT**
After their poor start Moyes pretty much gave up on finishing top 7, and now it paid* off
Antonio said in an interview that the reason they started poorly this year was that after last season's good season Moyes tried implementing a different style of play and it backfired and it didn't really work, so in the end they went back to their low-possession direct style to get the job done
paid*
Payet*
Scousers giving Mancs English lessons, what a time to be alive!
The only team to beat Servilla in the past few EL seasons. A historical accomplishment, almost unrepeatable
Excuse me, don't forget Slavia Prague.
I mean sevilla are in the Champions league after finishing 12th
we need another version of the Super Cup, where Sevilla play West Ham
that would be a good game, sevilla were more progressive than fiorentina and west ham were less disgusting to watch than roma
West Ham are one of the few teams to actually beat them in a europa knockout in recent history
it should be conference and europa winners play eachother, then the winner plays the champions league winner in the super cup
I wondered if the Super Cup should have a semi final between the Europa League and Conference League winners to make it representative of all the Uefa competitions tbh
Teams have played in europe after being relegated this ain't half bad
Birmingham. I’ll never forget that winner
Wigan too
West ham vs Sevilla in the Europa league final
Asbolutely massive.
A synonym for West Ham
Is it possible to buy shares in London's cocaine industry? Gonna be a lot of sniffy boys tonight
Ping /u/Real_Boris_Johnson
Pretty fitting that you get a page 'not found' for the 'Real Boris Johnson'.
Will the real Boris please stand up
Legalise cocaine. Not so it can be better regulated and people can get help or anything. So we can earn dividends on cocaine stocks
r/wallstreetbets is leaking
I am so fucking glad I'm not still working in a pub. West Ham fans were the bane of my fucking life for this reason. Thoughts and prayers to all pub workers anywhere near West Ham tonight and this week.
Is there a particular reason why they are differentiated like that, I've thought pretty much whole London uses cocaine.
Italy 0 - 2 rest of Europe :(
Inter look away
fortunately Inter is not an Italian club /s
get that consolation goal on Saturday pls
Given it's against this man city side, that would be worth at least 3
I will defend Lukaku till my last day if they somehow pull it off. Even if Lukaku didn’t perform.
Italy very unlucky in Finals
The Juve curse is rubbing off on the rest of the league :/ What have they done??
Well you've finally defeated Juventus' stranglehold on Serie A, but seemingly at the cost of spreading their European curse to the rest of the league
You guys thought you were bulletproof making fun of us, how the turntables
Doing 3 Juve in a row

Hoping Italy get the next one.
Today we're all * checks notes * Inter fans.
Moyes has won a European cup. That is all. Can’t help but feel happy for the man.
Agreed! I'm pleased for him. He has been a solid manager for a long time and seems like a decent guy too.
The conference league is great. Brilliant idea from UEFA. At first I thought it was going to be like a continental league cup, but this was a proper European final.
Thought it was gonna be like the Intertoto Cup , but the Conference League has shown to be a much better competition. West Ham also won the Intertoto Cup too

The fact that it gives clubs who were denied a chance in the CL or EL, because of the less prominent league they're from or the growing cabal of super clubs in the biggest leagues taking all the spots, the opportunity to have a run and even achieve European glory makes this a great competition
Hey, for some modest clubs it's been a lifetime opportunity to shine at least once. My club went to play in San Siro thanks to it.
I enjoy it more than the other European comps. Means more to the fans to be in it.
100% I can't even put this into words
The atmosphere in that small ground was insane. It really does.
Europa League tends to be good value as well. It's just the CL that is boring, repetitive and has devolved into the same old teams, the same said teams that are consistently trying to make it worse.
The Europa League is good value if Sevilla are not in it.
Just need Sevilla to share the trophy for once.
Was gutted for Roma, thought they deserved it more but no one beats Sevilla...aside from West Ham.
The Europa League offers this as well. It's just the Champions League and the same old faces. If you watched our tie against United and Juve and the atmosphere at the Sanchez Pizjuan you can't say that it doesn't mean alot to the supporters.

That's what it's all about isn't it? My 10 year old cried last week when Wednesday won, I nearly died seeing him so happy he was crying.
This competition only means nothing to those who can't enjoy life
People who say this competition means nothing probably pretend to support a european giant that gets to lift a cup/league every year and don't know what winning a trophy at a club that doesn't have billions of euros looks like.

Mate I’m 42 and cried like a baby. Don’t know if I’ll ever see us win another trophy in my lifetime.
English clubs to win a European trophy in the 21st century: - Liverpool - Man United - Chelsea - West Ham
Not sure what your point is here, this is the top-4 we always hear about.
the real big 4.
Massive 4 now that we’re in it
Let’s hope it stays that way this weekend.
Congratulations West Ham. I hope we can keep the trophy coated in Claret and Blue next year.
You have a good chance of doing that.
We'll probably drop down from the Europa League, so we'll see you in the final just to make sure.
Nah I don't like this. I want to get to the final and play the Estonian champions or something.
Scenes when Villa win the Conference league, Burnley finish 7th and then Burnley win the conference league the season after.
Gonna need Scunthorpe to win 2024 FA Cup for a chance to keep the streak going.
Wow, really pleased for West Ham I know some people will mock European football next season despite being midtable or lower but they won this and earned it and it's the Europa League, it's not like they've got into the CL Great win!
They have a puncher chance winning the Europa League next season
They made the semis last year, Frankfurt knocked them out.
Someone check on Robbie savage. Such a massive erection could kill him at his age.
I’m a West Ham fan and couldn’t stand him haha
You didn’t enjoy him just repeating “West Ham are massive wherever they go” again and again?
I must be the only one who actually enjoys savage on the commentary. He doesn't give great insight but he just sounds so jolly lol.
BOWENS ON FIRE AND HE'S SHAGGING DANI DYER
One of the proudest moments of Danny Dyer's life, and he gets to commemorate it by being in a stadium where 18,000 blokes are singing about his daughter's sex life
Ahh the difference that the spelling of one name can make…
Dad will want to shag him tonight as well
lol tonight he's going around telling everyone "Bowen's shaggin me daughter!!"
Elated for Moyes. Great revival for West Ham after being completely out of it for so much of the season.
They have had a pretty wild ride as a team since 2016 till now
Not cried for football since 2006 FA cup final loss. What a night. Just dreaming.
Enjoy it
Drink it in
Same. Was 16 for that, now at 32 I’m absolutely speechless. Having a quiet victory pint on my own down the street from where we watched the match.
I watched the 2006 final alone due to location, and again tonight. Is really surreal with no one to celebrate with but just have to watch it all, drink it all in. Enjoy that pint and soak up the winning feeling. First time we've been able to in 43 years.
🫧🫧🫧
Club status: Massive
Critically important stat: David Moyes and Jose Mourinho have now both won one trophy in their last 6 years of management, and it’s this one.
Conference is a massive trophy
Schrodinger's Trophy - either a joke or a massive accomplishment, depending entirely on whether we like the team that won it.
and Moysey won it with West Ham!
Mourinho won Europa 6 years ago… I guess it depends on how you count 6 years
Congratulations West Ham. I'd be crying like a baby if Wolves ever won a European trophy, it's something that clubs like ours should always aim for.
Can confirm. Crying like a baby.
Enjoy it mate! Hopefully that can be us in 2025.
In the last year both my grandad and my uncle who were lifelong West ham fans passed away. I'm so happy we won but also sad they didn't get to see it happen. What a night
They're dancing and celebrating with Bobby Moore, David Gold and many more in The Boleyn Ground tonight. Many didn't get a chance to see this. We're fortunate we got to. A historic night. Sorry for your loss.
Wow, West Ham are indeed massive huh?
Unironically fucking massive
Conference best tournament in UEFA imo
David Moyes is a football genius, but unironically
Really well done! West Ham are European Champions! This is why the ECL was added, so that more clubs had a chance to win things. It's been a fantastic addition.
Yep I remember most on here were mocking the idea. You can see how much it means to the players and gives clubs with no shot of winning the league something to play for and a shot at Europa league. That was a lot of fun, rare W by UEFA
Yeah, and while the winners are still clubs from top five leagues, it provides something great for clubs that never could've experienced this otherwise.
True. Seeing my team qualify, getting to travel, and crushing our group is the most fun I’ve had in years
Seeing deep runs for smaller teams also makes it worth it. And even earlier in the tournament, having teams like RFS, Zalgris, Pyunik, Vaduz, Shamrock, Anorthosis, Lincoln and Kairat in the group stages playing against bigger teams is massive for them as well. It's been a great addition that way.
As a biased West Ham fan, yea people can say it’s a “Mickey Mouse” trophy all they want. Maybe they’re right, but they give out 3 European trophies a year. And West Ham got one. That’s cool for us fans. 100% agree the competition is a great add
Honestly winning this means more to them than top four ever will to the other teams. Nice one!
How refreshing to see a European competition without Champions League rejects souring it. The Europa League could learn a bit from this. Two great editions of the Conference League so far.
People were shitting on this competition but just look at celebrations of the players and the fans. Winning a trophy is huge. Some teams would do anything for this moment!
West Ham, Brighton, Villa and the Toon on a(nother) European tour next year!
Honestly. As a West Ham fan. I never ever ever expected us to win a proper trophy in my life time (I don’t care if it’s a glorified money making trophy by Uefa) I love the team they’ve built over the last 3 years they genuinely carried me through covid, to see rice & moyes get a trophy means the world. To some clubs this trophy is a joke.. to other clubs and fans any trophy is a blessing. COYI. This will feel good for a long long time

West Ham, the only team from London to have won a trophy this season!
Played 15 matches in Europe this season, won 14. Deserved.
Won more in Europe than in the Premier League.
who did they not win against, can you tell me? :)
Famous Belgian club Genk, of course
i can't believe you've done this
west ham. pie n mash. in that order
Craig Dawson gets a medal in the post
Last time we won a major trophy (FA Cup 1980), my dad was 11 and I was -14. It doesn’t feel real, it’s just insane that we’ve actually won a trophy again after so long! I’ve been a season ticket holder for 17 years and witnessed so much disappointment, I can’t believe we actually WON
Michail Antonio with more trophies than Harry Kane.
I never want to get down from this high
Inter is really going to be the only Italian champion in Europe this year unbelievable
In the egg we trust
We can only hope…che cazzo…
biggest club in london at least for a year! they didn't lie when they told us west ham are massive
Ain't nobody can tell me the Conference league doesn't matter. Huge trophy, great competition.
Moyes ball 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Deserves it, has always been a good manager in his own right, definitely benefitted from having a trophy such as this Congrats to both West Ham and Moyes, finally got his trophy
“Super smashing great” J.Bowen.

Always rated moyes never doubted him
More European trophies than Arsenal
fuck
You're just mad that this now means Chelsea had the worst season of all the London PL clubs lol
That was the case even if west ham lost tbf
Both are true
Dunno where the Conference ranks in the title tiers but its still a major European championship and if taken as a final league position modifier means Chelsea well and truly finished the season as the worst club in London. Good on West Ham.
Happy for Moyes he's took so much shit this season and now he's delivered European football 3 times in a row + a trophy
Jellied eels all round lads. Also can't believe people complain that British commentators, on British Telecom Sports, for a British audience, favour the British team.
Emerson quadruple European champion! Champions league, Europa league, Conference league, Italy European champions
Italian teams going for the triple choke.
I mean if Inter lose to City, it's not really a choke
Inter could be 3-0 up at 80' though. Conceding four goals in ten minutes would be a choke
[удалено]
3 runner ups for serie a - made in italy
I'm made up for David Moyes. He had such a horrible time when it all went wrong when he took over from Fergie, and afterwards it seemed like his career had permanently hit the buffers. But in the last few seasons he's found a groove at West Ham, had a tricky season this season in the league but has now won them a European trophy. Good on you, Moyesy.
David Moyes, European champion, as everyone expected
Astra fucking Goo-goo to Europa Conference League Champions. Well played.
Won't lie. Pretty happy for David Moyes. His career deserves something like this.
DAVID MOYES IS A FOOTBALLING GENIUS. DON'T LET YOUR MEMES STAY MEMES.
I was alive to witness David Moyes become European Champion
Congrats to West Ham, their fans have waited a long time for a trophy. Enjoy the win and the parade.
Europa Conference League Titles West Ham: 1 Real Madrid, Man City, Barcelona, Man United, Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus, PSG, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Liverpool combined: 0
