Yeah it was terrible. Looked like turf layed on sand. Doesn't excuse Lamelas unbelievably bad first touch though. Poor lad was possibly a bit too up for it last night.

Agree, but not tactically. Bilic motivated his team to bully and disrupt. We didn't know how to over come this?
Was a back 5 for most of the 2nd half, Emenike did a good job for them up against our CB's running the channels.
Shame we didn't turn up properly but hopefully we've got our defeat and poor performance out of the way early.
Can see why a few are moaning about the ref, didn't help but not the reason we lost.
Away to the Brady bunch
Now the dust has settled on last night’s defeat the team just needs to move on from the missed opportunity to go top against a West ham team missing four key first team regulars including Reid and Valencia . As others such as Webo said last night Bilic got the tactics right for West Ham with a strong pressing game, and it was a night when Kane couldn’t finish his dinner.
From March 2nd to 10th there are three cup finals for the club. One has been lost in the first London derby of this week and care will needed against Woolwich on Saturday as their forwards do like to take a tumble around the penalty box ,and there can’t be much hope for such lenient refereeing as last night which somehow enabled the team to finish the match with 11 men. Wimmer is a very lucky boy ! Then a week today there is the small matter of the Borussia quarter final…
Was surprised to see a comment about “overzealous policing “last night. It was always on the cards after the stabbing of a fan by some scumbag in the November match at the Lane .The police did a good job of maintaining segregation after the match and respect to the brave souls who chanted “Yid army “once they were a foot away from the station entrance;” to dare is to do” indeed!
It has been a good season with a CL place virtually assured and a stadium upgrade to Milton Keynes still to come.

It was a real Sonofapitch!!!
If you understand Iron Hoof, you will know what is rhyming slang for a Greek..
As in i'm forever blowing Bubbles..:eriksenlol:
Different eras, different football, different players?
Why have they gone unbeaten at home this season?
I fail to understand why we underestimated them in the first place, every season they come at us all guns blazing like its the last game they'll ever play, like its the FA cup final when it actually meant something. And then they just drift back into obscurity like they always do. Do you think they'll play like that again this year? Next season they'll be fighting for their lives at the arse end of the league again.
Yes, no?
We lost one point on a par performance
Leicester lost 2
Goons lost 3
It was frustrating to be playing them just before goons. If we'd had say Norwich at home next up, I'm sure we'd have started with Dele Alli and maybe Dembele too. That should have been good enough for a pt.
Check out Wet Spams home form, it's good. We knew they'd be up for, and when I saw we had a MF of CE, EL, NC, I thought it would be overrun.
Masses of points still to play for

I get your sentiments but I think you'll find it was to do with an 'Ironworks'
Really classy!

Not sure why we're still talking about this game, but for the people above who think West Ham will be relegation zone next year you're either trying to somehow console yourself by slagging them off or a very poor judge of a team.
They're at about the same level we were at last year or the year before and stand a reasonable chance of following our example this season next year. A good side, with one real star player, with good unity and what seems a good manager. Will be looking at top 6 for the next few years I expect, and will be handing out defeats to the likes of the red scum, the blue scum, the manchester teams every now and then.
Which is exactly why people reacting so strongly to this defeat is over the top. I'm pretty sure they've beaten every top team this year (possibly excluding Leicester).
It's a narrow defeat, had Harry taken one of those two late chances we could probably have had a late chance of getting a winner, after which we'd all be auto-fellating about another come back, the stuff of champions etc.
Even though we played poorly we came into the game more as it went along and that shows the talk of 'getting tired at last' is wrong and we can all be optimistic for Saturday.

all the links on there, that worked, kept stalling and buffering for the game.
Good quality though
Better to lose away at West Ham than to lose at home to .......... (ahem)....... Swansea.
I would have rather Swansea beat us last Sunday and we pasted these cunts on Wednesday.
I'm still fucked off.
Was it handball following Kane's scuffed shot after the Toby shot? I thought so at the time. Only just seen a replay (watching MOTD on iplayer), and I still think so, but pundits did not talk about it.
