We don't need Arny to win
Wilson
Wilson Supposed to be out with hamstring cook supposedly injured lets hope they don't handball it into the net this time COYI
That bloody awful away strip
That bloody awful away strip ,the shirts don't match the shorts and blue socks ,shite
We haven't got out of first
We haven't got out of first gear
We been lucky so far
but the boys better start playing shortly.
It's a tough one
Could go either way at the moment. COYI
That's one heap of crap of a
That's one heap of crap of a football game
Well that was
46 minutes of my life that I'll never get back!
I think we are heading for a
I think we are heading for a bore draw.
How the f...
did Carroll miss that???????
Wilson!
That's just added 10M to the asking price
If ever there was
a cast iron certainty today, that was it.
It had to be him
but that's the difference between a striker with ability and confidence and our strikers.
Wilson you just knew it!!
Odds on to score against us just like lukaku used to be
Was thinking the same thing.
He was putting in some good performances and scoring goals, to be repaid by being dumped on the bench. Baffling!!
We get the chance to move into the top 7
and we play like shit. Commentators keep saying we have never failed to score against the cherries until today when we really need it. One player I would take from them is Frazer, he is like a bloody little bulldog.
Consistently inconsistent!!
Beat the Arse then lose to this lot,lose to brighton,watford also all bogey teams..frustrating
P.s forgot the mighty Burnley too
Every time there is an air of real optimism
amongst the fans we get kicked in the teeth. An absolutely abysmal performance.
same old west ham
Well to say it was Expected would be an understatement.....good performance followed by a toothless one....Bournemouth play good football and ever since they came into the prem they have beat us at home and away on a regular basis....Tabloids will no doubt make it out that we missed Arnie blah blah blah but we dont need him to put in jekyle and hyde performances...wolves away next and from what i saw from them up front we will be in trouble again....El Pel needs to get to the Root of our problems the way we play away from home is far too open and some of our players do not appear to have the guts for a fight....We Did not lose today because we were missing Arnie We lost today because players no matter how good they are did not put in a shift.
Saw Wolves today against
Saw Wolves today against Leicster 4 3 they can't half pass it around ,hate to say it but I think they'll goose us up there , specially if we're wearing that toe rag away strip !fukin worst strip I've seen the shirts look like they've slept in them ,have we got anyone who knows how to work an iron ,pardon the pun
Your criticism about our away play just doesn't wash.
We've won 14 points away from home so far this season. Only THREE more than the whole of last season. However I do agree with your point about some players not putting it all in on occasions.
I wasn't criticizing our away
I wasn't criticizing our away play ,it's why the word inconsistent was invented I'm just saying that away strip is shabby and scruffy it's totally non-descript ,it's got some colorings in it that make it look like it's run in the wash ,the longer the game goes on the more it seems to fade to a horrible grey .I think you'll find it's only the third time wearing it ,the usual one ,the all dark blue strip was much more the part
The better team won today
I refuse to believe that Arnie was the difference today. We have won games without him before now. Tactics and maybe team selection did for us this afternoon.
We got what we deserved...
Nothing! passing woeful, commitment lacking and only one shot on target, felt sorry for Snodgrass again as he will always give 110% , Bournemouth more determined and closed us down. They WERE the better side and as for possession stats !!!!!! they mean nothing. We created very little and being honest we ain't going to win the FA Cup we won't get anywhere near Wembley except to play that horrible mob from Seven Sisters! Some will deflect and say the Arnie situation has disrupted the side but a group of "professional" footballers should be able to overcome that .. after all it is a team game. Imagine in your daily job telling the boss you are having an off day because one of your workmates is missing/sulking!
Before today Bournemouth
Had only got 7 points from the last possible 36!The worst form in the prem over the previous 12 games...nothing like playing westham to boost your confidence!!
Bucket and spade brigade again!
Question has to be asked how do we manage to drop points to Bournemouth and Brighton? Lost 10 points to them, thats not good enough. i wasnt there so cant comment on the game but no surprise that Wilson scored.
Always worried when we dont start with Snoddy.
Its not a bad season, just typical West Ham. We are not going down but...
Still hate the likes of the B&S mob, give it a couple of seasons and we will see them drop and hopefully replaced by Leeds, Villa and Sunderland.
The really bad news today is that the two Chinese clubs are no longer interested in the superstar Arnie leaving us lumbered with the Incredible Sulk!
Yep 10 points Dartford
We were 2 down as well to brighton before we pulled it back so it could have been worse!!we just don't seem to be able to compete with these teams which is baffling!As for Arnie the bloody saga rolls on
Crazy!
Would you now keep him 65? Great player but prefer we move on and bring in a real striker not a winger convert!
No point Dartford
He wants to go & if he doesn't get his transfer before the window shuts, the strop will go into overdrive!!;)
It was a bloody awful performance
it's like they are scared to play teams that are below them on the table or that they don't need to play smart. Our lack of a consistent striker and I don't mean Arnie but an out and out striker is killing us.I see not much discussion on Andies miss, how the hell does a striker miss that from two feet out and I hate to say it but he is a liability every time he goes up for a ball. The opposition all know that he flaps his arms around and they play on it to get a penalty because the refs will always punish him for his reputation. Let Arnie, Perez and Hernandez go, get some decent money in and buy a decent striker and even though he scored I don't mean Wilson, because most half decent strikers score against us even if they are out of form.
Mate, its the 19th jan, that
Mate, its the 19th jan, that window shuts in a minute, you will never replace with quality only like for like if you are lucky. The squad needs numbers.
They were good on the break
They were good on the break and we weren't... Andy Carroll unplayable. Seriously? Another yard forward and he'd have been in the goal ffs ! ! !
Our defence were looking solid until they came at us with pace, Both goals were pretty bloody good quality but no real excuses why we shouldn't stop them.
I really like Cresswell but hate the fact he can't use his right foot. He is so readable. Cuts back every time instead of first time crosses...oh yeah, Carroll was hardly ever there in the box. He has to go this window with Chjca if possible. Surely we could prise Wilson away from the Cherries...Don't get me going on Arnie. Would love to know the full story.......actually I wouldn't, i lie....
Roll on the FA Cup
Not looking forward to playing Wolves if he persists with AC or Chica. I say Silva and Diangana with Antonio and see what happens
We are down to the bones, He
We are down to the bones, He had no choice but play AC thanks to the incredible sulk. AC is unplayable but for 20 minutes, hes plan B off the bench not from the start. Wilson will be priced at 75M, Im not convinced, scores most goals against us!
I wouldn't go near him
I wouldn't go near him Dartford ,its a well known fact he's got brittle knees
Correct Burkie
We have enough passengers!
75 MIL,that would buy
75 MIL,that would buy bournmouth.
Roll on the FA Cup???
Wimbledon must be licking their lips after that performance!!
Why do you think it's live on BT Sport next week??
One criticism
I have to make about Pellegrini. What manager in their right mind drops a player who is bang in form in place of a new signing with lots of fitness issues??? Surely Snoddy should start and Nasri brought on when required?? As for Carroll, these are the games that he should be stepping up to the plate and repaying some of the VAST sums of money we've lavished on him. He's failed miserably on more than one occasion so he HAS TO GO!!
Agree bobby
I cant understand the dropping of snoddy.as for carroll we might as well ask frank Worthington to come out of retirement!!he's just not suited to the modern game,id prefer diangana in place of him at least he gives 100% effort
How he got that over the bar
How he got that over the bar from an inch out,defies the law of physics
Shocking miss stan
I was thinking the same mate,how was it possible to SKY it from that distance!!
