We don't want any trouble. We're in a different society and a different world now and it's not what any football club wants to have connected to them.
Anderlecht will work with UEFA to make sure action is taken against their fans.
"We don't tolerate this kind of behavior, not in our home stadium and not away," said a club spokesman. We will take it up with the fans. We would like to apologize to West ham.
The press officer needs to stand up for the club. They're a really good football club and it's a huge credit to them. They want to make sure their club is protected.
Everyone's attention is diverted when there's crowd trouble. It's one of those things that you don't want to talk about, so I didn't care about it. I don't want anyone to notice it anymore.
