Just five minutes before Jesse Lingard scored what proved to be the winning goal at the London Bowl, Hammers manager David Moyes was seen to be going apoplectic in his assessment of how Andriy Yarmolenko had been performing having come on to replace Nikola Vlasic in the 62nd minute, the Iron's manager could be seen screaming at the front man.

It was very difficult to write an unemotional and balanced review of yesterday's game against while on the way back from the match, it was even harder having got back and having to read and see the 'dissection' of what had been a thoroughly entertaining game, for the NEUTRAL and for Manchester United fans from all over the land who never have and never will visit the cess pit that is urban Manchester.

If you were one of the near 60,000 West Ham supporters in attendance at the home defeat by Manchester United, or indeed one of the huge amount of Hammers fans watching on TV, you might well be feeling extremely hard done by, but don't kick the dog or the cat.

If you did so you would only feel guilty, in addition to being a cruel person, we wonder if Mark Noble's pet hound has headed for the hills before his master returns, although we are in no way insinuating Mark Noble is cruel to pets, he's only cruel to fans!
