Football fans are NOT happy that Kurt Zouma has been included in West Ham’s starting XI to face Watford this evening.
Zouma sparked outrage on Tuesday after a video of him kicking and slapping his cat went viral on social media. The Frenchman was forced into apologising, with West Ham condemning his abhorrent actions.
The expectation was that Zouma would play no part in tonight’s game, such is the level of controversy that he has caused, but David Moyes made the contentious decision to include him in the starting XI.

Needless to say, many football fans on social media are not best impressed with the Scotsman deciding to let Zouma off the hook and include him from the beginning this evening.
Here’s how some furious football fans reacted to Zouma being named in West Ham’s starting team.
Zouma is still playing?!!!!! No, that’s unacceptable. What does that say about us as a club? Shameful.

Shocking from everyone at the club. Zouma shouldn’t be anywhere near that stadium.

Absolutely vile that you’re playing Zouma after that. Lots of people lost all their respect for West Ham tonight.
