Neither do half the teams in the Top 4/5/6 who win games with favourable decisions from the Refs!
I think we're finally becoming a Big Club in the ref's minds... and you know what that means...
DECISIONS, DECISIONS... DECISIONS!
Sometimes.2-0 is lucky?
and the hammers are about to sign McGinn. no jokeWeird match, didn't feel real at times and I didn't feel all that bothered by it unusually. The conditions and the next game coming so quickly after made this feel a bit surreal. A very important win, but it's fair to say WH will be a bigger challenge and hopefully the lads aren't too tired after running around on that mess of a pitch.
We should have had a pen tho, dele was pushed in the box so I guess it's even!
Sometimes you win by luck, sometimes you don't. That's football. I don't think there ever was a team that won every game by merit. Not even Man City this season.Sometimes.
Our goal was offside. Sanchez should have been sent off. They should have scored. They then hit the post. Fine margins and all that.
I am not complaining. Cracking result. I thought Alli played well.
Have I missed a game since Boxing Day? I know I was drunk but didn't think I was that drunk?Ffs. It’s a hard spell. We are playing the 3rd game in 7;days and have another 2 inthe next 5.
Squad is just recovering, missing key players or they are just getting fit.
Conditions poor. Squad half the size and lackingnas much quality of most other top 4 squads.
They may be the bottom side but it’s football.
Tonight evens things up.
We are winning and some are still pissed off we aren’t walking all over them with pretty stuff in wet windy slippery muddy conditions . You’re going to see misplaced and over hit passes. they are also fighting for survival.
When did we become somentitled.
We struggled to beat this lot here in 14/15, drew 15/16 and beat them last year.
At least we haven’t conceded a goal this time.
and the hammers are about to sign McGinn. no joke
But at the same time Llorente was called offside 1 on 1 when he wasn't and Dele got pushed cynically in the box for a goalscoring opportunity. It was an all round shit performance from the officials.Sometimes.

Yes, that one linesman got nearly everything wrong. Embarrassing game for him.But at the same time Llorente was called offside 1 on 1 when he wasn't and Dele got pushed cynically in the box for a goalscoring opportunity. It was an all round shit performance from the officials.
Mate, Llorente was through onside 1v1 but given offside, Son's shot just wide, should have had a pen (push in the back on Dele), 70% possession we controlled the game as much as you can on a pitch that had a rugby match 72hrs earlier and biblical rain, they had ONE shot on target all night!!Sometimes.
