The Hammers faithful erupted after a savage tannoy message at the London Stadium during their 4-2 victory over Wolves — with the PA system delivering a brutal blow to the travelling supporters after their side missed two golden chances that hit the crossbar .
The Announcement That Sparked Chaos
West Ham fans were sent into absolute raptures after a brutal stadium announcement at the London Stadium during their thrilling 4-2 victory over Wolves.
The home supporters, who had just watched Divine Mukasa’s stunning brace and Jarrod Bowen’s penalty secure the Hammers’ first Championship win of the season, were already in fine voice. But it was a savage tannoy message that truly sent them wild.
According to sources at the match, the stadium announcer delivered a brutal reality check to the shell-shocked Wolves supporters after their side hit the woodwork twice in quick succession during the first half — only for West Ham to score moments later.
Raul Jimenez and Mateus Mane both crashed efforts against the crossbar when the game was still goalless . Within minutes, Divine Mukasa unleashed a thunderbolt from 25 yards that crashed in off the underside of the crossbar . The contrast was brutal — and the stadium announcer made sure everyone knew it.
The taunts didn’t stop there either, with the Hammers faithful brutally joining in the mockery of the Wolves supporters as the goals continued to flow.
The Game That Made It Worse
For Wolves, the defeat was their first under new head coach Cesar Peixoto, who had started his reign with a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions .
The visitors had started the brighter at London Stadium, with Jimenez and Mane both hitting the woodwork in quick succession . They had more shots (17) and more touches inside the box (31), but West Ham were ultimately more ruthless with their chances .
The game turned in the 33rd minute when Mukasa scored a stunning opener. Wolves then conceded a penalty just before half-time when Andre fouled Joel Piroe, with Bowen stepping up to coolly dispatch the spot-kick.
Marshall Munetsi pulled one back for Wolves on the cusp of half-time, but Mukasa restored West Ham’s two-goal cushion with a deflected shot that looped over Jose Sa eight minutes into the second half . Konstantinos Mavropanos added a fourth in the 64th minute, before putting through his own net five minutes later to make the final score 4-2 .
Wolves boss Peixoto was left to rue the missed chances: “The last game we won 4-1 and nothing was 100 per cent good. In this game nothing is 100 per cent bad. It’s an unlucky game, but we have to improve some things.”
The Wolves Fans’ Reaction
Wolves supporters were left devastated by the result and the brutal stadium announcement.
The travelling fans had seen their side dominate early possession and hit the woodwork twice — only to concede moments later. The frustration was palpable in the away end.
One Wolves fan on social media wrote: “One of those nights. Miss two great chances and they score with their first attack of the half. Bleugh.”
Another added: “We’ve got none of the luck and they have all of it. Jammy bastards.”
A third posted: “Make your own luck, take your chances and learn to f*ing defend.”
The reaction reflected the frustration of a fanbase watching their team dominate yet fall to a sucker-punch defeat.
What Made the Announcement So Brutal
The stadium announcement at the London Stadium appeared to rub salt in the wounds of the Wolves supporters.
It came after Wolves had been utterly dominant in the opening exchanges — only to see their efforts punished by a moment of brilliance from Mukasa. The timing of the announcement, combined with the chants of “We’re gonna win the league” from the home fans, made it a moment of pure humiliation for the travelling supporters.
One Wolves fan said: “We hit the bar twice, they score with their first attack. Then the stadium announcer starts taking the piss. It was a complete humiliation.”
The announcement also referenced Wolves’ struggles in front of goal. The visitors had created 17 shots but converted just two of them — one of which was an own goal.
The Bigger Picture
For West Ham, the victory is a huge relief. The Hammers had failed to win their first three Championship matches and were languishing in 19th place . The win lifted them to 11th and gave head coach Nuno Espirito Santo some breathing room.
For Wolves, the defeat is a reality check. Peixoto’s side had started the season brightly with seven points from nine available in the Championship . But this performance exposed defensive frailties that will need to be addressed.
The stadium announcement was the icing on the cake for the Hammers faithful — and it will live long in the memory of the Wolves supporters who made the trip to London.
The Verdict
West Ham fans went wild after a brutal stadium announcement at the London Stadium — and they had every right to celebrate.

Wolves had been dominant in the opening exchanges, hitting the woodwork twice before Mukasa’s stunning opener. The stadium announcement that followed rubbed salt in the wounds of the travelling supporters.
