West Ham United vs Manchester United: farewell Boleyn Ground

Tonight we'll see an historic game at the Boleyn Ground where West Ham United take on Manchester United. This is the last game that will be held at the stadium that has been home to the Hammers for over a hundred years. If you're interested in knowing more about the stadium and the history, let us direct you to this fabulous article by Owen Gibson in the Guardian.

The importance of this match in the very short-term is also crucial for the visitors with United being handed a life-line to get into next season's Champions League by their neighbours City who dropped two points against Arsenal last time out. A win tonight and then again at home to Bournemouth at the weekend will see Louis van Gaal's side finish fourth. If this happens, Manchester City will welcome new coach, Pep Guardiola, with the Europa League competition to fight for rather than a seat at the top table that he would have expected.

So, big night both in league aspirations and emotions. What is certain that the City fans will put down the Blue Moon shongsheet for a couple of hours and replace it with Forever Blowing Bubbles.
