Violento derby Londrino


Não se esperava outra coisa. Quando o sorteio da Taça da Liga Inglesa ditou o confronto entre os Hammers e os The Lions, já todos previam uma tarde/noite de segunda feira muito agitada para os lados de Upton Park. O West Ham recebeu e venceu após prolongamento o Millwall por 3-1, após tarde de violência fora do estádio e 6 minutos de interrupção do jogo. Relatos da imprensa britânica após o esfaqueamento de um adepto de 44 anos durante a tarde ainda antes do encontro começar.

"A man has been stabbed and violent battles have broken out between rival football fans in “large-scale” crowd trouble in east London, according to police. Hundreds of fans were involved in the disorder outside Upton Park during the Carling Cup second-round tie between West Ham United and Millwall and play was suspended for a brief time when home fans spilled on to the pitch to celebrate their side scoring a second goal."

"Several people were arrested in the unrest outside. Police said the disorder was caused by people without tickets who had planned to start trouble."
Sky News


"One pub reportedly had its windows broken by bricks during running battles across several streets up to half a mile from the stadium. Eyewitnesses told of hooligans trying to rip out bollards and lighting "small fires". And a Millwall fan told the BBC: "It was like a war zone outside the stadium. There was fighting all round. "I brought my kids with me tonight and they've seen some violence that is indescribable."
