It's almost like all the briefing horseshit that was going on over the last week about how Hahn was the talent spotter, and Macauley was only responsible for Mads...was all part of an orchestration leading up to this moment. What a bunch of horrible pathetic cunts they are.  Fundamentally this sacki...

I counted Marshall, a half a dozen times harassing the Arsenal defenders. On one occasion he nicked the ball off Gabriel by simply being quick enough to challenge before Gabriel could release it. At another point, he caused one of the Arsenal defenders to pass it off the pitch again simply by being...

There is an 11pm curfew to exit the London Stadium. Event organisers need special dispensation to extend the curfew for late-finishing concerts and the like. I won't be there but a sit in after the match is a good idea for those who want to show their feelings. It doesn't effect the team for this i...

We were clearly looking for someone who could harrass them when they had the ball, and run the channels for our out ball...both things Wilson can't do.  I think bringing Marshall on for his pace, movement and relentless sprinting was purely tactical, and you either agree with those tactics or not......

This is an interesting perspective on the Arsenal game individual performances (and season performances as a whole) and is based on the average ratings across sites that rate players based on the match data/statistics (Opta stylee). As it shows, Paqueta was our highest rated player in the match and ...

So here we are with another International Football yawn-fest.

What will you do for the next 14 days while meaningful football shuts down?  In some ways two weeks downtime will be a nice break from the current West Ham circus.

When we get back...the next 5 games will likely define the whole season.

The only good thing about that white flag waving tosh was our shape before they scored. Nuno has a lot to do to stop us looking like guaranteed relegation fodder. And I don't why we have to endure the painfully overrated Paqueta week in week out. When he's not embarrassing this club with his pathet...

Diouf is obviously not great defensively, but he was up against arguably the best right sided duo in the league, away from home, with Summerville as defensive help. He'll have easier games. At 20 years old, it's no surprise he struggled. Much better to judge him in the next one now we're defending ...

  I'd settle for attempting to press north of the halfway line before we're 2 down. GUTLESS FUCKING SURRENDER. Completely agree with this, that was Gutless fucking surrender!     It used to be you'd only see a team resort to that type of tactic was when there'd been an early red and they had no cho...

I am just wondering if some posters expected a master class in the West Ham way when we are second from bottom of the table? 2-0 better than expected     We made 263 passes. That’s less than Leeds Utd made there when they lost 5-0. There won’t be a PL side that go there and pass less. We are utterl...

Feels like Clint and Nutsin would prefer Nuno had stood on the sidelines and shouted, "CHAAAARRGGGE" and watched us get cut to ribbons over and over until we conceded 8.

Were just not in their class...athletically and skill.

We have to be realistic. Not one of our players would get in their squadet alone team. Bowen looks like he's lost half a yard of sharpness. 

They're just dramatically better than we are and it shows. Difference between a club run properly, and a club run like a hobby.

The reaction from some in response to us struggling away against one of the best teams in the world is pretty laughable. They have multiple players that are worth 100m plus. We dont have any. Yes, we're in the same league as them....but not really.  Hold the line everyone. This game doesn't define N...

Fullkrug was better against Everton than in recent games he has played. Won some duels in the air against two very physical centre backs, got in the box on another day could have had a couple goals, and IMO got better as the match element on. That he got 90mins was frankly a positive too...when did ...

For those that like the use of the word "Context" in a football setting:

Oh, this fellas not for me. People highlighting a period of play of  20 minutes before and after half time are missing out on the fact that was when Everton just set back and we had a lot of possession with no challenges, when it was a proper Premier League game in the first 25 minutes he was absol...

The result may be the same, but I thought that passed the eye test. This is a competitive match which is more than we can say about most of our games this season and last. Much more intent in the middle and attacking third. Fullkrug is at least receiving service, and summerville is giving us anothe...

Ex saying he believes the team is

Areola
KWP
Mavro
Kilman
Diouf
Magassa
Fernandes
Paqueta
Bowen
Summerville
Fullkrug.

COYI.

The weird thing about JWP is despite his obvious limitations he was a very consistent and effective free kick taker. He remains just one goal behind Beckham in that respect. Yet, since he joined us there's been absolutely fuck all. You'd think he would still manage at least a couple per season but ...

Personally I'd have liked to see him on the bench. Whilst he's not really up to it now, he's a good honest English pro in a dressing room largely devoid of role models and leaders.

Just unceremoniously dumping him...not sure that endears him to the squad.  But we'll see.

ExWHU confirms on his PodCast JWP has been dropped from the squad, and isn't injured!

Imo Paqueta is better deeper and ideally central. His best season was at Lyon as a number 8 and he can help out with defending.  AWB is still out along with the suspended Soucek I think.  Im guessing he will try to use Fullkrug as a target man but will find out that he’s not a Chris Wood and not th...
