West Ham's squad has arrived in Cardiff ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup Final against Liverpool.
Alan Pardew and his players arrived at Cardiff's Vale of Glamorgan hotel earlier this afternoon just 24 hours ahead of tomorrow's match, at which a capacity crowd of 80,000 is expected.The Vale of Glamorgan is considered to be Cardiff's 'lucky' hotel, as 29 of the last 31 teams to stay there ahead of a major final at the Millennium Stadium have proved victorious.
West Ham's Nigel Reo-Coker is aiming to be the youngest captain ever to lift the old trophy tomorrow; looking ahead to the game, he said:
"We’ve had a fantastic season so far but aren’t happy to end there.
"We have an opportunity to make the history books and become East End legends. It’s a dream come true and a tremendous occasion.
"Even if we lost people would still say we had a tremendous season. But for us as players, we really want to win."
