[charleyfarley]

. ........... V Keniworth Rd Fri 1st Sept 20:00 GMT VAR Steve Meredith Paul Tierney: (30) - 115 2 Kaminski, Bell, Burke, Andersen, Doughty, Giles, Nakamba, Barkley, Chong, Morris ©, Adebayo Subs: Krul, Ogbene, Berry, Woodrow, Kaboré, Mpanzu, Brown, Johnson, Francis-Clarke Areola, Coufal, Zouma ©, Aguerd, Emerson, Álvarez, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Paquetá, Benrahma, Antonio Subs: Fabiański (GK), Cresswell, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Fornals, Cornet, Kudus, Ings, Mubama Luton 100/30: Draw 13/5 : West Ham 4/5 .

[Charoo]

Our midfield looks so much more balanced this season - thought we did ok in places and moved the ball well. Benrahma was poor for me tonight and Antonio not great - however if Emerson’s goal counts we win that 4 or 5. Luton loved an up and under which unsettled us. They were largely poor but should have had a pen at the end. We are 8 points ahead of where I thought we would be now - so fair play to the players for getting 10 points after 4, great return.

Ings the Biggest Robber in England since Dick Turpin , The Guy is Stealing a Living and on Top of that Earns more than the rest of them.

[Vexed]

Fuckin ell, it's a win but it was a shit watch. We look a bit clueless when we have to break a team down. Shit subs from Moyes as ever, Fornals and Ings put us under pressure and fuck knows how that wasn't a penalty, looked like one all day long. Tricky fixture but fucking clueless tactically from us, barely worked their keeper. We've had a bit of luck this season, hope it continues.

[Matthew Holmes]

this had banana skin written all over it. We find it hard when team sit back. BUT 2 quality deliveries and points in the bag - thank you very much. Antonio's offside was tight. Good result for us to win there. IRONS!

Should've been a penalty under the current rules. The current rules are shit, "but same for everybody" trumps the current rules being shit.

[Capitol Man]

FOMB some of you fuckers need to have a word with yourself. Top of the league, tricky game with them being amped up for first home game wit the big boys and there’s still these high pitched whine coming out of you.

[Sir Alf]

We still struggle to break down teams who playbook is which is deep and narrow but we did enough just and only poor concentration last 5 mins out us under any real pressure, Definitely seen the JWP arm to ball given as a pen in the past but assume that it was just low enough to not be arm to ball/natural position hence being used to help him jump and with the ball hitting him over his head it was allowed. Phew ! Paqueta, Alverez, Zouma and JWP were good, Bowen on as he scored and most others average Anyway, enjoy being top. It don't happen much and will last less than 24 hours

[twoleftfeet]

I’ve seen more positivity on a match thread after a 5-0 defeat. Joint best ever Premier league start for us.

[Fauxstralian]

Wasnt keen on being first up at Kenilworth while they are still enthusiastic but got the job done. Made it hard for ourselves at the end and got away with the handball but top of the table after 3 out of 4 away. Man City next ..... TITLE DECIDER

[chim chim cha boo]

We went to the new Kennelworth Rd on Luton's fairy tale, magical Premier League Friday night under the lights and properly pissed on everyone's chips. Why the fuck do you think Sky picked this game to show? Forget injury time, remember we won away AGAIN, DOMINATED possession and didn't sit back and dourly defend like an Allardyce team would have, remember how many points we had at this point LAST season, crack open a beer and enjoy your weekend.

[twoleftfeet]

Fuck off Elpo. Sick of the fucking shit on here. Beginning of the season you thought we would struggle to get 1 point from the first 4 games. What is wrong with some of you?

[gph]

Shame we can't claim the table's meaningful. Still, it won't be meaningful on Monday either, when we might be fifth

[paul6565]

Great 3 points is the positive, shit game and shit subs as usual from the out dated manager.. Ings is absolute shit and Fornals not a winger.. Could have drawn in the end because of his dire subs.. Luton are horrible pikey cunts and loved it when Zouma scored !! They are going down. The Spitter was an absolute arsehole as usual.

[Headtheball]

If this was a Man Utd game they would say with the jumpers in front of him and the flick on Ward Prowse was unsighted in a split second of the goal flight. Also another Ward Prowse corner assist for the Zoooouuuma winner! ⚒️

[bell]

When we hand the team sheet in before kick off, do we have the exact same subs written on it with the exact same timings as well? Just saves time I guess.

[BRANDED]

Great battling win. Brilliant possession. Superb mentality. Best West Ham side ever

[twoleftfeet]

Does nothing make some of you lot happy? Fuck me 10 points from 12, top of the table and unbeaten. What more do you want? Playing Luton in their first home match back in the top flight was never going to be easy. Some great performances. Enjoy the 3 points, enjoy being top and stop fucking moaning ????

[Forest Gate Ugly]

Loving the party atmosphere on here.

[Full Claret Jacket]

Another 3 points, almost threw it away at the end. Very lucky VAR didnt give that. Thought Alvarez was really good. Areola really suspect all night and that's a worry.

[Elpojohn]

We will not Win the league if we play the way we did, They will not sack Moyes till we lose 5 or 6 on the trot will they. ? Awfully boring game ,against a Luton side that we should have beat easily.

[nychammer]

seen the replay of the pen - that's stonewall, To be fair If I was Luton id be furious

[gph]

Antonio, when he doesn't shine, you can almost guarantee he's keeping the opposition defence busy. Ings, when he doesn't shine (when the fuck does he shine?), you can almost guarantee he's a waste of space.
