West Ham fans of Twitter have been brutally trolling Pablo Zabaleta on his 35th birthday as the oldest player in the squad celebrated getting another year under his belt.
Wishing @pablo_zabaleta a very happy birthday!

The mocking began as soon as the club Tweeted early on Thursday morning to wish the Argentine many happy returns with a video celebrating his best bits at London Stadium thus far, including the strike that got David Moyes’ men on the way in the FA Cup just a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, the jokes centred around Zabaleta’s age with supporters wishing him a happy 40th, 50th and even 72nd birthday and one questioning whether he’s retired yet.
Despite stating that he wishes to leave England at the end of 2019/2020, the right-back has made no announcement about retirement yet, meaning one fan’s desire that he’ll get a new contract is still technically a possibility.
You can see the pick of the humorous Tweets, below…
