Chelsea away was going to be the game in which I bid my personal farewell to David Moyes. This season I had been to West Ham v Sheffield (2-0) at the London Stadium in autumn, and in December I watched Fulham away.
It wasn’t to be a happy farewell: West Ham lost 0-5 at Stamford Bridge. That was the same result as earlier this season when I had watched West Ham lose at Fulham with an identical score.
Already 0-3 down at halftime, David Moyes tried to freshen up his tired looking team by introducing James Ward-Prowse for Edson Alvarez.Later Danny Ings came on for Michail Antonio.

“The fans have been great but I feel bad for them,” West Ham manager David Moyes told Sky Sports.
David Moyes:
“I don’t normally have teams who get beaten like this but we are lacking some ingredients – mental toughness and leadership to get better results, or at least not get hammered.
“The fans played their part and I can only say I’m really sorry for how it played out.”
Well, these have been massive years for West Ham. But now they need a fresh start next season, with a massive overhaul for an ageing squad.
