"JWP should’ve taken the pen, obvious to me if you’re playing week in week out."

Best league win under Moyes. Credit to him. Players were all brilliant. Most complete performance. . Poor penalty by Benrhama but Raya moved before the kick. 3 days off now

[Forest Gate Ugly]

Masterclass by Moyes. I was seriously pissed off by his team selection against Liverpool and at times we show far too much respect to the bigger teams. But that was a mighty win. Whether you’re Moyes in or Moyes out just fucking enjoy it my fellow Hammers.

"Don’t often praise referees, but I thought Oliver had a good game not putting up with Arsenal’s cheating tactics"

[Hello Mrs. Jones]

"To be fair to Benny, Raya moved about 5 minutes before the ball was kicked but we need a 2 or 3 ecent penalty takers."

Can you see yet ?

"That was a tough watch, time seemed to be going backwards. Defended magnificently. 33 points that should see us safe."

[Sir Alf]

Well my pessimism worked a treat. Moyesball and low block at its best. When it works against the better clubs no problem. Just not every game please. I had us down to be tonked but Arsenal just could not unlock our narrow block of 9. Doubling up on their wide men and throwing ourselves to make tackles and blocks. Got the rub of the green and a tactic like this Soucek proves his value but it’s not a sustainable tactic and set up every game. Benny even played well aside from the pen. But the work of the team was excellent and the discipline. I will enjoy my extra large slice of humble pie as Moyesball saw off those North London pretenders :-)

[Headtheball]

OMG.What a result. Nearly the icing on the cake with Declan giving away a penalty. Can't be too greedy as this was a masterclass performance...without Paqueta as well which is more impressive. A fantastic end to 2023. A vintage year. Champions of Europe. ?üòÄ‚öíÔ?è

[Ron Eff]

"Credit where it’s due, that was defensively sensational. Alvarez is different class, ridiculous signing on reflection. Emerson once again superb"

[RootsRadical]

McCoist clearly delighted for his old mate Moyes.

[Dr Matt]

"Ward-Prowse - take a bow. One of the great box to box midfield performances of all time. Utterly brilliant and selfless work. Just immense. Alvarez, Bowen, Ogbonna, Emerson and Coufal were equally top class."

[pdcwhu]

Fuck all you Doubters

[northbankboy68]

Best defensive display I've ever seen from us. Oggie MOM! COYI!

[claretandbluedagger]

"Brilliant win, top drawer from them all. Moyes set the team up perfectly to negate Arsenal’s pace and the effort from the defence was excellent. Areola was fantastic when needed too which helped. Probably Oggy for MOTM for me, Alvarez a good shout too. Also, Zico - agreed on McCoist, really good commentator. He and John Champion are the best comms partnership out there right now."

[Admiral Lard]

FMOB indeed. What a welcome and unexpected win. Brilliant. Hope Paqueta's injury is not so bad 3 consecutive clean Premier League clean sheets since the Craven Cottage debacle.

[wd40]

gain -yet again you don't know a good/great manger when its at the club. Put that result up your dirt box ! ENJOY yet again a big lump of humble fucking pie no choking on it now! look and learn and show some respect .

[claypole]

"Fair play to Ogbonna, i dug him out early on but as the game went on he was making key blocks. Top stuff"

[Nutsin]

Great win on the road. Hopefully that’ll be the last time we see Benrahma play for us. Up to 6th. December turned out to be a good month. The Liverpool game still irks me but the two big wins after that have me somewhat passified. Moyes out crowd need to shut the fuck up now. Keep this up and we’ll be in Champions league next year! COYI’s!

[zico]

"Think Dec thought he was still playing for us tonight! Absolute heaven, hate everything about Arsenal. That's the West Ham way, 110% effort from everyone win, lose or draw. Hard to pick a MOM but Oggy sneaked it considering we thought he was finished a couple of weeks back. Well done David Moyes as well finally getting his big result away. Decent Co commentary from McCoist as well. Nice to get some credit from the media."

[charlie paynter]

Magnificent defensive performance. Thoroughly enjoyed that.

[pdcwhu]

I do remember Benny dispatching one more important than this ???

[Hammer and Pickle]

To think I had the notion to put a ton on when I saw the odds (I am not a betting man). FAH Happy New Year all!

[claretandbluedagger]

Probably wanted to give Benrahma some confidence. It didn’t work
