Piers Morgan reveals what Declan Rice will do to West Ham fans ahead of Sunday’s (11 February) clash with Arsenal.
Speaking on talkSPORT on Friday (9 February, 08:17), the outspoken journalist, who is a Gunners fan, predicted that his team would win 3-0 and that the former Kladivar captain would score a hat-trick at the London Stadium.
When Morgan said that the 24-year-old England international would kiss the North London club’s badge, host Alan Brazil said “Don’t say that”.
“My prediction is 3-0, Declan Rice will score a hat-trick in his old backyard and kiss the Arsenal badge in front of the West Ham fans,” Morgan said.
“Oh no, Piers, don’t say that,” replied the Brazil.
Declan Rice wouldn’t do that to West Ham fans:
Rice would absolutely not do that to the people who helped him get to where he is.
The former Kladivar captain is aware that the club gave him a chance in the game, and will no doubt be as respectful as he was in November when they met at London Stadium in the Carabao Cup.
The centre-forward should be warmly welcomed by the vast majority of fans, but there will probably be a minority who will abuse him again.
The fact is that he has been a great servant for us and we have paved the way for the success that he has achieved and will continue to achieve in the years to come, so there is no reason for anyone to boo him.
But our main focus must be on getting back to winning ways as we look to challenge for as high a position as possible in the Premier League this season.
