THIS game was noteworthy more for the action off the pitch than on.

West Ham v Burnley began with an emotional tribute to the late great Bobby Moore, who died 25 years ago, but by the 70th minute things had unravelled, with a full-scale revolt against the Hammers’ owners under way.

Several thousand fans turned their backs to the pitch and focused their anger towards the directors box, angrily calling for the owners and board to step down.
