West Ham United fans have been reacting on Twitter after the fourth round draw for the Emirates FA Cup was made last Monday evening.
The Hammers were pulled out of the hat before West Bromwich Albion, meaning an emotional return to London Stadium for club legend Slaven Bilic just over two years on from his Hammers sacking.
It will be the first time that Bilic has faced the Irons as a manager and revenge for his disappointing dismissal could well be on the menu when he brings the Baggies to east London on the weekend of 25 January.
Understandably, some fans were happy to be welcoming Bilic back after his contributions to the club as a player and a manager, but others felt more nervous about the cup tie as, well, this is West Ham and we all know what might well and probably will happen.
Here’s the pick of the reactive Tweets to the announcement…
Welcome back Slav – we will smash em ⚒
