Some real Green Street Hooligan s*** happened today. The famous movie surrounding West Ham soccer hooligans pretty much came to fruition ahead of the Hammers' final match at the Boleyn Ground. Upon lovable Manchester United's arrival, Hammer fans took to the street to throw any and everything at the Red Devils bus. And when we say any and everything, we mean it. It caused a 45 minute delay to the match, and it was absolute madness. Check it out:

See! It's madness. Wayne Rooney chimed in before the match and said how dissapointing it was to see such a scene. But now lets get the perspective from inside the Manchester United bus, courtesy of Jesse Lingard.

It was a massive match, especially for Manchester United who were trying to sneak in the back door and into the top four of the Premier League. But a 3-2 loss damaged those hopes, and will again circulate the rumors surrounding Luis van Gaal's sacking. It was a pretty rough scene out there, but am I crazy for thinking it was pretty sweet that this Manchester United vs West Ham fight from the movie kind of almost happened? I mean, there were no United fans around, and the players looked scared for their lives, but now we know that West Ham fans are the real deal when it comes to being hooligans.
