Cant wait for this one and hoping we'll get a good result.
The players will be nervous I'm sure so it's very important for the West Ham fans to get right behind the team from the start.

Looking forward to this tonight. Will be getting to the ground a bit early to ensure I’m in my seat for the build up. A full house under the lights and the crowd will, hopefully, respond in the same way they did against Sevilla.

I'm aiming to get inside early and have a couple of earlybird 2 pinters. Atmosphere inside before the Sevilla game was excellent so looking forward to it tonight.
2 - 0 Antonio makes a massive double comeback with mad celebrations. More likely be Bowen though.
Be loud & proud.

Afternoon charley and all,
2-0
The crowd will be our 12th man and Lyon won't know what's hit them.

Been reading the papers and can't understand why West ham players keep mentioning Barcelona for fucks sake.
What happened to taking one game at a time.
Gonna end in tears mark my words

As if Lyon can be looked past . I'm still haunted by the 3 0 home loss to Luton in the 89 league cup semi .

First home game for 5 years, so looking forward to it and already on the piss.
This mob have players who walk into our team, so be a tough round and moyes won’t have the players looking any further than the next 2 games.
Beat Seville though, so we know it’s in our hands.

I would be irritated if we won 5-0 (after I'd predicted 4-0). It would ruin my evening.

Less pressure or even finality to this game so expecting an even slicker performance, especially with Bowen back to take weight of Antonio having to stretch.
Lyon are not on Sevilla’s level nor can they just raise their game twice to match our ability or intensity.
It’s not a walk over but I expect a two goal cushion, maybe more

If Rice gets booked tonight, he misses the second leg.
If he gets booked in the second leg, he doesn’t miss the semi.
Not sure the is correct cross. these are the rules and pending suspensions mentioned after playoffs but not after group stage:
"Exceptionally, all yellow cards and pending yellow-card suspensions expire on completion of the play-offs. They are not carried forward to the group stage. In addition, all yellow cards expire on completion of the quarter-finals. They are not carried forward to the semi-finals."

I think the same. This is going to be hard tonight. Was just reading Jonathan Johnson who has this to say about Lyon and misinterpreting their lowly league position as them being shit. They are not.
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11959/12583769/west-ham-vs-lyon-why-moussa-dembele-and-co-can-burst-hammers-europa-league-bubble-in-quarter-finals
"For Lyon to have another season without Champions League football is really unthinkable and it does look unlikely they'll get it via Ligue 1, so winning something like the Europa League is quite a good alternative.
I think it's going to be a tough game for them against West Ham, but also Lyon tend to have saved their best form for the Europa League this season.
Why have Lyon struggled domestically?
I think there's a lot of complacency within the squad. There's a lot of players who feel that they're capable of better than where Lyon are at present, but don't necessarily realise that unless the collective clicks into gear they're not actually going to get back to those heights.
Some of the key players perhaps felt they could have moved on at various points in the past, so they're not necessarily as focused on what's going on week in week out in Ligue 1 and save their best for these big games."
