Chris Sutton was quick to hit back at smug TalkSPORT reporter Ian Abrahams following Celtic’s Champions League exit at the hands of AEK Athens.
West Ham, supported by the portly reporter, have never had a sniff at a Champions League qualifier, their last trophy win was in 1980.

The London side, who rent the Stratford Stadium, currently sit at the bottom of the EPL after losing 4-0 to Liverpool on the opening day of the season.
Sutton has presented himself as a champions of Scottish football despite having a strong profile south of the border where he works for the Daily Mail, BT Sport and BBC 5 Live.
Celtic lost 2-1 on the night to go out on a 3-2 aggregate, dropping into the Europa League play-off following successive seasons in the Champions League group stage.
After the match Brendan Rodgers admitted that there were lessons to learn, but admitted that you shouldn’t need to lose to learn.
