West Ham suffered their heaviest ever home FA Cup defeat on Friday night, losing 0-5 to Manchester City at the London Stadium in the third round of this season’s competition – and these were the best jokes.
After starting the second half with a three goal deficit, things did not improve for the home team whose fans soon emptied the new ground.
Under-fire manager Slaven Bilić could only watch as his opposite number’s side bounced back from recent poor form to triumph in style under the lights at the spectacular venue.
Here are the best of the jokes from West Ham 0-5 Manchester City, FA Cup 3rd round tie:
I've analysed the Manchester City team and they pose no real threat. West Ham to win comfortably this evening.
