  1. I reckon it'd have been checked but cleared if not given on the pitch Interesting seeing a lot of Arsenal fans saying Emery hates them because he threw the game against City and then tried hard to beat Arsenal again - Watkins and Martinez were unavailable against City and two of the three midfielders that were rotated in also started against Arsenal. Think the difference was probably Foden casually slapping in three worldies and Arsenal methodically aiming all of their shots at Emi or the side netting yesterday, but what do I know Spurs forum by comparison seemed to have about as many posts saying "BAILEY 1-0 GET IN UP THE **** VILLA" as we did
  2. Lmao Bailey appealing for the ball being over the line as he walks the rebound in from one inch out
  3. Impressive stuff from Diaby to get a great goal and an assist after fasting all day. A very well-deserved banana. Also impressive from Zaniolo to come on with an excellent display from the bench without getting booked, despite his crippling addiction to dodgy yellow cards Couple of really powerful runs from Rogers in the first half, almost replicating McGinn's ability to turn with the ball and drive forward from deep, but he needs to add the defensive discipline and decision-making Always a tough fixture, their setup was compensating for their injuries well for 30 minutes, but we were in control and beating their press pretty easily in the second half. Nice to get a competent, comfortable win on a day of mad results, equally nice to finally do the job against these. 4 points each from Wolves and West Ham feels like a big improvement on recent seasons where those fixtures often felt like banging your head against a gd wall
  4. Bugs me how backpasses are legal now if you make the vaguest pretense of pretending it's accidental
  5. poor Duran queueing up for an effortless tap-in at the back post only for Konsa to do an assist so bad it was a goal
  6. Has this statement been untrue at any single point in time this season?
  7. I might be more worried about Diaby's confidence if he hadn't almost broken the net with a 20 yard side footer about 10 minutes ago
  8. You'd think Hinchliffe was a ten time Ballon d'Or winner the way he 20/20 hindsights every missed chance with his nose in the air
  9. Do we know if Diaby's fasting for Ramadan right now?
  10. He's a character, he's popped up with a couple of important goals, and his all round play with the ball was very good today, but he'll always be too much of a discplinary liability to be a regular starter I can't imagine Emery hasn't been repeatedly telling him to sort that out as well
  11. I think we're exactly as good as I think we are tbh It was a weird lineup today but I don't know how to solve the lack of McGinn or Kamara in midfield against physical opposition in a way that works for 90 minutes, if Emery's not chucking Iroegbunam in there he must not be ready/up to it tbh
  12. Did we really have 70% possession? Honestly, setting that squad up to play constant 30% possession setpiece grappler idiotball *at home* like that is criminal, with a good manager and a new striker West Ham would easily be pushing the position we're in as well
  13. Voted Zaniolo man of the match, despite his attempts to get sent off, because it feels good. Diaby and Cash both deserve a nod though. Some of the most impactful subs we've had this season tbh Thought the game was actually fairly well refereed on-field, didn't get why we didn't get a pen for the first half handball with how deliberately bigger he was making himself with the hand, both of their disallowed goals were correct applications of a pedantic law with the second being more clear cut if anything. Shame that circus distracted from going for a winner (was the free kick soft as well?), in reality that game had turned into a good point for West Ham
  14. Gonna be honestly hard to pick a man of the match out of the subs
  15. I tell you what, Karen Carney's been pretty quiet for the last ten minutes! (because she's not commentating on this game)
  16. We've turned into such beefers, I guess earlier in the season we were more likely to be 3-0 up at half time and dealing with meekly shell-shocked opponents
  17. Emery: get on there and get us a goal Nicolo Zaniolo: I can do a goal and a needless yellow. Final offer
  18. Karen Carney's gonna be really confused about all the hatemail she's getting for a game she's not covering
  19. The journey back from that one was soooo long, the fluky 2008 Milner deflection one and the 2011 late Agbonlahor winner one made up for it a bit a few years later
  20. That turned into a pretty tough watch, though we should probably have had a penalty, don't get why he's allowed to wave his hand around there to block the cross. It's still salvageable but almost needs West Ham to do something stupid, which we've had a monopoly on so far Not letting people take a corner they've just won because time's up always feels like kind of a dick move
