West Ham away fans leave Parker in awe

Scott Parker has thanked West Ham United away fans for their support during the thrashing at Chelsea.

Over 3,000 Hammers backed the players throughout the 4-1 drubbing.

Parker told whufc.com: "The fans were absolutely brilliant. That was the one thing we said when we went into the changing rooms afterwards. There were a couple of positives, but if there was one massive thing, I think it was the crowd. We heard them singing even when their fourth goal went in.

"For a player, you can't explain how much that helps you. At times, it is hard out there and when you know your supporters are with you, you find that extra little bit. When the going gets tough and your fans get restless, it becomes ten times harder than it would be otherwise, so it was brilliant that they stayed with us and long may that continue."
