Hammers to punish rioters
WEST HAM have vowed to help the investigation into the shocking scenes of violence last night at Upton Park but could also face action themselves.
The Football Association are looking into the events surrounding the 3-1 Carling Cup defeat of Millwall that saw a man stabbed outside the ground and pitch invasions following West Ham's goals.
"West Ham will fully investigate the deplorable scenes that took place during the Carling Cup tie with Millwall on Tuesday," West Ham's statement read.
"The club will not tolerate the unacceptable behaviour witnessed inside the Boleyn Ground and will take the strongest possible action against anyone found responsible, including life bans. We are co-operating fully with the relevant agencies, including the police."
The club, however, could still be punished for the pitch invasions.
