Anyway, Hoddle - 'Goal of the Season'. No I don't think so. It was piss poor defending and goalkeeping, its hardly been smashed into the corner and he was completely unmarked.

It's a contender, the defending was poor but supreme technique is always going to raise questions of goal of the season and that's as good technique as you will see. Cant underestimate how hard that goal was to score even without being pressed. Even getting the ball into that bottom corner on the volley from a ball travelling that far and that high is extremely difficult

Rice gave the ball away so poorly for their 2nd. I hope one of our rivals buys him for big money, he's fine but nothing special.

Yep. We've only ourselves to blame. No use hoping others to do our job. This league campaign is turning out to be incredibly tough.

We were all spoilt winning it how we did. We led from the front, and never really had the lead closed at any point. It was as stress free as title wins go, and absolute procession and yet at times we all felt the tension, even before the Watford defeat and we’d won 25 from 26!

You have to accept that to win it in this era you’re probably going to have to battle with one or two sides equally capable of winning it. It’s just how it is. Hopefully we win later and Chelsea fans are swearing at us for not dropping the pace.

To win it this year we’ll probably have to go through this every week until the very end of the season. We have to accept that City and Chelsea will also win the large majority of their games. Each new week there’s a chance they might drop points but a reality that they’ll probably win.

Get your heads around that and you’ll be able to enjoy us more, hopefully!

Can't say I'm surprised. West Ham's great early form has desered them recently

Can we also wait til the end of a game before deciding whether a team has tried, or it’s game over, and all the other shite.

West Ham aren’t in as good a patch of form as when we played them, we were a bit unlucky in that respect but they hate Chelsea and they’ll give it a go. What doesn’t help is their smaller squad and third game in a week. Chelsea rested loads against Watford and are better equipped to deal with it.

Hopefully we’ll be similar against Wolves (without the resting loads).

Let’s just see what happens sections half. Unless you’re trying to cry in a West Ham equaliser in which case, crack on!

I'm imagining Big Dick Nick's mid-term school report of 'Must try harder'. Then the end of term report with 'Nick has made big improvements in his attitude and effort - well done!'.

Fair play to Chelsea for grinding out results but i really hope this style of football isn't rewarded with a title.

A lot of people find it tough to admit to themselves that this Chelsea side is very good and very well-coached.

That won't change no matter what the result is here today.

I reckon the team that finishes ahead of them wins the league.

Havertz injured? He's had a few now hasn't he?

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #129 on:** December 4, 2021, 01:39:18 pm »

There's at least one more goal in this for West Ham if not more. A fair bit of space in behind Chelsea and they're still playing risky at the back, a couple of quick passes and a well timed run and West Ham are in. Don't be suprised if Antonio scores this half

Yosser0_0 · « **Reply #130 on:** December 4, 2021, 01:40:00 pm »

So the late flag and offside given does count sometimes?

It’s not surprising the Chelsea and City were the 2 biggest spenders in the league for the last 2 seasons. United being the only black swan.

That 2 v 1 when someone in the 2 can’t stay onside or the other can’t release the ball at the right time is so infuriating.

Red Beret · « **Reply #136 on:** December 4, 2021, 01:43:54 pm »

Why do people keep saying Chelsea can't keep it up or will just drop off? They're a functional side and they won't care if they win every game one nil. It's not quite Leicester but until they actually show a wobble don't assume a wobble will come.

We will just have to do the business at their place.

People realise this is nonsense. They were shit against us in my opinion and should have had ten men and first goal disallowed.

I only know a couple of west ham fans and they absolutely hate Liverpool. Maybe they consider playing as as some sort of big rivalry

Cracking finish - come on you Hammers

latortuga · « **Reply #147 on:** December 4, 2021, 01:47:02 pm »

It seems like an odd decision giving Antonio the job of defending arguably Chelsea's most dangerous CB at corners.

Sure he has the physicality, but he's shown a real lack of desire to stay touch tight and even jostle and grab at Silva to try and slow his ability to attack the ball. West Ham have 3 CB's to choose from and yet they're going with Antonio and it's ended up costing them a goal.

2-2!!!! Get in son...Get in!!!

Ciara (with a capital "C") · « **Reply #148 on:** December 4, 2021, 01:47:04 pm »

Well that was unexpected!

They look shot West Ham - heavy legs everywhere. Their small squad coming back to haunt them now but maybe this will be a little shot in the arm for them.

And why they’re at West Ham not us/Chelsea/city

What's the explanation for Anelka playing for PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea then?

Seemed to be permanently offside apart from at Bolton but he was probably terrified of Allardyce battering him.

This West Ham back line looks so nervous.

Sitting this deep no way they can hold this at 2-2 until FT.

I don’t find that tough to admit

I find tough to accept United were racking up titles v Norwich and Villa in the 90’s and we have to fight these and city with the team weve finally got

That is rather aggravating
