TONY COTTEE: It was a very basic but different top, away from what we wore at West Ham. We beat Chelsea 4-0 in a memorable memory from last season, but we didn't have the white away kit. In the home shirt, defeating Newcastle 8-1 in April (even though I didn't score) was another. We were beaten Newcastle that night, and it was one of West Ham's greatest ever league victories. The last home game against Ipswich also stands out. We defeated them 2-1, and the fans erupted at the end, shouting, 'We're gonna win the league,' It was a good moment for the supporters.

When Hammers fans were seated in a bar after 3 p.m., a group of Italians dressed in black clothing and masks assaulted them shortly after. As word of the wider area that their fellow Hammers supporters were being beaten, Hammers fans poured into the bar, and a group of riot police stepped in to prevent the two groups from meeting. It was unclear if anyone had been injured in the crash.

BHATIA IN PRAGUE: In the final hours before the match, the West Ham supporters were still drinking Prague dry, playing, and dancing, but butterflies were also present in the final hours. The sun came out and lifted the spirits of thousands of West Ham supporters in Prague's Old Town Square as thousands of pints were downed and bars were packed to the brimble.

BHATIA IN PRAGUE: In anticipation of winning a commemoration for the London club's first major trophy in decades, the first of an estimated 25,000 ticketless West Ham supporters poured into Prague today on planes, trains, and by road. As a huge police operation swung into action, heavy rain sparked concerns that the supporters could find a fan zone set up for them to turn into a quagmire. Every plane into Prague was ladening with supporters, and Prague's center was turned into a clearet-and-blue zone.

This year, the World Cup will be a little different. With the tournament taking place during the holiday season rather than the summer, the fans will be colder, and the beer gardens will be damper. However, England and Wales' biggest cities are set to step up to the challenge. Pubs, clubs, and outdoor venues have poured booze, mounted their outdoor screens, and lit up their heaters ahead of this year's Qatari competition. FEMAIL has gathered some of the best locations to watch the matches over the next few weeks. Swansea, clockwise from top left: Singleton Park, Swansea. Newcastle's Central Park Fan Zone.
