West Ham fans have taken a dig at club owners David Gold and David Sullivan by passing an ‘inflatable dildo’ around the London Stadium during last night’s victory over Huddersfield Town.
The Hammers emerged 2-0 victors thanks to goals from Pedro Obiang and Andre Ayew, to help relieve pressure on the under-fire Slaven Bilic, however the fans couldn’t help but use the opportunity to take a swipe at the co-owners.
The pair have been involved in a media war with Sporting Lisbon director Nuno Saraiva over the past few weeks following the failed transfer of midfielder William Carvalho.

Sporting claimed that no approach was made for the player after criticism from the Hammers over the handling of the potential deal, however West Ham and Sullivan/Gold believed otherwise, providing ‘evidence’ of contact with the Portuguese side in the form of e-mails to Sky Sports News.
Saraiva’s response? In quite hilarious fashion (even Slaven Bilic said so), he labelled the Hammers owners the ‘Dildo Brothers’ for their ties to the sex industry, going on to call them ‘liars’ and ‘parasites’.
Chants of βWe know what you are, Dildo Brothers, we know what you areβ, ring out across the stadium as the inflatable phallus was passed around the seats of the London Stadium.
Footage went viral on Twitter last night.
West Ham are understood to be suing Nuno Saraiva for the comments.
