Off celebrating on his own after his assist rather than running over to Antonio. Lad. Love it.

Again though, Antonio scored in a position where he had a split second to think. I wish sometimes he just does what he's good at. Instead of trying to hack at the ball why not just take a moment to think 'actually, I know I can't shoot from thirty yards I should probably lay it off to Marko or Manu...

Yep, a tiny bit off the pace but a very encouraging come-back game. Straight in amongst the chances. Can't wait to see him in full flow again.

What a game he's had; he's been all over the pitch. Strength, spraying passes, creating chances, and a thoroughly desvered goal. Has looked unplayable at times

Not sure I understand this one. He's not a bad 'keeper, but not much better than Adrian & is 3 years older Can't see why we'd pay 7m for a 33 year old 6.5/10 'keeper when we already have a 30 year old 6/10 'keeper Still, at least he's a vast improvement on 2/10 Joe Hart Agreed. A good keeper, n...

If that's true it's stupidity of the highest order, Sakho ok yes but not Ayew. Selling last season's record transfer to fund January window is ****ing disgusting & embarrassing. Not to mention this season's current top scorer. I'm not Ayew's biggest fan, but moving him on would be a daft decisi...

Anonymous?

Yes, and that.

Long day.

Fernandes has been rather anonymous, hasn't he? Shame, was hoping tonight would provide a good platform for him to replicate the few flashes of brilliance he showed last season.

Agreed, but an unnecessary partnership if we can bag Rickie Lambert and play him as a lone striker.

I loved the 2 wingbacks with twin haircuts. Ha, that reminds me of an amusing remark I overheard in the stadium today - (On Masuaku and Fernandes) "I seriously f*cking hate their stupid haircuts. Just concentrate on ya football" 1. Imagine getting that irate about someone else's hair 2. H...

Some of the proposed signings on here would no doubt end in tears. Sturridge, Welbeck, Wilshere, Ings...
Have we not learnt our lesson with Andy?

We have gone to dogshit since the Sakho episode. I know we drew against Arsenal but the defence was shocking and has continued since Was just thinking the same. We haven't been at our best and it seems to have coincided with those whispers of unrest. That is of course a complete conspiracy theory t...

When is Lanzini allowed to come on? 2-0?

Anyone else think that Emineke should've been quicker to react there after it hit the second post? Caught everyone by surprise I know, but he was just static rather than looking for that poacher's goal.

Quite surprised by the 'uproar' from non-West Ham supporting fans over the decision not to include any of our players in the squad. Judging by Twitter, I think most people agree Noble should've got a call up - but what surprised me most is the amount of people calling for Antonio to be picked ahead ...

Why would Jelavic be moving on so soon? Strange one to me. I think he's performed exactly how most of us expected he would (adequately to good) and has played a role that we all knew he would (squad player, back-up) - surely he knew that too? He's a good friend of Bilic's and seems like he's a smart...

Watching on a dodgy stream, I must admit, but I'm pretty sure that Valencia just tackled Payet. Twice.

I'n other news, Valencia looks like a kid who's wandered over from a local park and asked to play.

His availability for games seems to cause a real headache for supporters and, potentially, for our management team. However, every time he gets injured again, his unavailability seems to do the same... When he's next crocked and subjected to a lengthy spell in the treatment room, we'll all forget hi...

The way I read his remarks, having watched the presser, was that it was true that those things had been said about Carroll (in the past), NOT that what had been said was true (in his experience of Carroll). If that makes any sense... Exactly. What would be the point in Bilic coming out and pretendi...

This thread was seriously split down the middle when it came to predicting the result of Saturday's game. Those that believed we had too much for Sunderland and would easily walk away with a win, and those who suggested that all the stars were aligned for Sunderland to snatch their first win of the ...
