The Morning Star 2026 Conference
West Ham 1-1 Leicester
PAUL DONOVAN reports from the London Stadium

NEW West Ham boss David Moyes likened the atmosphere in the London stadium to that of the old ground at Upton Park as the fans really got behind his beleaguered team on Friday night.

A chorus of the club’s anthem “I’m forever blowing bubbles” lifted the stadium in the second half, as the fans tried to roar their team to victory.

Moyes had previously called for everyone at the club to unite and get behind the team. On the pitch, the new manager was impressed with the resolution shown by the players but believes there is a long way to go before things really come right for West Ham United.
