If ANY West Ham player had stopped a Liverpool player with a clear run on goal by fouling them they would have received a red card, somehow Diego Jota got away with a yellow. Andy Robertson 'took out' Jarrod Bowen and may have effectively ended Hammers pursuit for a trophy this season and received nothing at all.
John Moss had an appallingly biased game roared on by the chattering masses that ate up ALL his leanings towards their team and had a thoroughly wonderful day, the fact that they cheered when Bowen was injured showed just how little style they have.
As an ex-Liverpool player once said "I will love it, if they fail" that is the sentiment of many Hammers fans as the scousers ponder being able to attain success in FOUR competitions. There should really be no surprise as to the bias shown in their favour by officials, after all the Vernon family used to provide holiday villas for officials back in the day and their connection continues, although it WAS thought that John Moss was beyond their influence. Perhaps the bin dippers found out the address of Moss's record shop and threatened to burn it down, it is not inconceivable.They probably also found out the address of the VAR adjudicator as well, IF a similar decision that OK'd the hometeam's goal had been given against them, their would have been uproar.
IF West Ham had not been so profligate in front of goal, this rant might have been somewhat tempered despite the bias shown by the match officials, David Moyes' refusal to add a striker has really come back to bite savagely and the club now go into it's most important week in 40 years devoid of it's most prolific front man, because there is NO WAY Bowen will be fit for the Europa Cup tie against Sevilla on Thursday, indeed there are doubts as to whether he will play again for the entire season if his Achilles has snapped as feared!
So well done Liverpool, get a player's ex-team mate to cripple him, pay off the Ref and sanction your crowd's obscene treatment, we wish you all the best, NOT! - Ed NB: Sour Grapes? You Betcha!

If Bowen is out our best
If Bowen is out our best option might be to let Yarmalenko take out his aggression on our opponents.
On a positive. Without key players West Ham were unfortunate not to come away from Anfield with anything. VAR decisions have done for us at Old Trafford & Anfield. Maybe Moyes should write to Rielly asking for an explanation on the Jota & Van Dyke decisions? Might get a few decisions back in compensation?
God help Antonio gets injured. We will be well & truly cattled. Why have we stopoed scoring? Earlier in the season the goals were being shared. Unfortunately i think our season has run it's course. Hopefully we can get 6th again.
Thought the same myself Nev
Jota the little shit had to go but nope we had spitboy Carragher saying it wasn't anything other than a yellow what a Wan**r he is.......Salah doing his usual with the Slightest touch(5 star i believe kids!)going over Allison bitching about Ants standing in the 6 yard box And i thought yes Antonio rightly have a go at the ref as long as you are not shoving(gk's do that all time) him you can stand where you like but Moss calling him out and saying You can't stand there this is Liverpool the precious dears don't like it so behave what a C**T he was all night....As for Moyes he is now reaping what he has sowed not just fans asking but journos now Why not strengthen the team in January? we all know why because he was blinkered about getting his little toyboy Lingard and nothing else well guess what he didn't get him coz he didn't want to come...so here we are Ants due off on another reggae boys outing Bowen injured and only kids who Moyes will be forced to play like it or not and before this rants over Nev i would like to ask Vlasic/Benny whats the point? they give us nothing and now i see Moyes interested in that nomad of a footballer Deulofeu mmmm is it because he used to be at Everton ffs this is one player i see Moyes getting pfff Rant over
I have to confess I despise
I have to confess I despise Liverpool, although one of my best friends supports them. I have always hated them, they have always had decisions go for them...got british clubs excluded from Europe and their fans rightly or wrongly to say somehow have been involved in not one but two tragedies involving massive loss of life. I sincerely hope they miss out on the league and europe as well as the FA cup! Feckers!
Same here Nev. The ref's
Same here Nev. The ref's performance was exactly what Liverpool paid him to do. He may as well have had the Liver bird on his shirt, short socks and tattooed on his forehead. Probably still got Pooh posters up on his bedroom wall.
