Christmas is a time for giving, so we would like to 'give a little'. Firstly we would like to thank the referee 'Zombie School' of finishing for providing a string of incredibly inept officials for the vast majority of games played at the London track and field Stadium, without whom life would have been so drab.

A goal from Hammers nemesis Troy Deeney via a penalty and a late Gerard Deulofeu strike inflicted West Ham's first defeat since November in the final home game of 2018 at the London Stadium. The 'feel good' factor was there courtesy of both defences but it was a rare and potentially very costly error from 'the General' Fabian Balbuena that led to Watford's first goal.
