da spicy bet: West Ham United have taken a beating both on and off the pitch as fans take to Twitter to slam the team’s performance following their 5-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup.
da pixbet: Not only were Slaven Bilic’s side knocked out of the competition at the third-round stage, they were humiliated one home turf at the London Stadium.
After Yaya Toure slotted home a penalty in the 33rd minute, City ran riot as they glided through West Ham’s defence to go 3-0 up in the first half.
David Silva netted just before the break, two minutes after Havard Nordtveit helped the ball into his own net trying to stop Raheem Sterling from tapping in Bacary Sagna’s cross.

The Hammers were already down and out when they returned for the second half, and they conceded more goals, with Sergio Aguero getting in on the action and John Stones scoring his first ever goal for City.
The FA Cup exit adds to the club’s disappointing season as they have picked up just 22 points from 20 Premier League games, which has left them 13th in the table at the halfway stage of the campaign.
The London Stadium also continues to pose a problem for some fans. The team have won just seven games in all competitions at home since the club made the switch from Upton Park to Stratford in the summer.
As expected, plenty of West Ham supporters expressed their anger about Friday’s result on Twitter, while other football fans took the opportunity to mock the East London outfit.
