Re: Other games 16th & 17th March

'correct' decision - according the the rules but wasn't the right decision imo - ref didn't have a choice just like ref don't have any choice to book a player for kicking the ball away ... How can the correct decision not be the right decision? The 2nd part is exactly my point. The ref shouldn't ha...

38 games unbeaten will require some luck, but calling them the luckiest in world football? Come on. You don't go 38 unbeaten without being good enough either.

Re: Other games 16th & 17th March

Footballs gone mad sending the young lad off for scoring a last minute winner against Liverpool in an fa cup quarter. Lads probably been dreaming of that moment and working his ass off, making all sorts of sacrifices to get there only to be walloped by a rule book some suit has made up. Right decis...

No cross came though. Just an attempt to kick the ball at the said arm. That's not handball. If Bailey crossed the ball then fine. If Bailey had a shot then fine. He did neither though.

Re: ✍ Welcome Edson Álvarez

Jarred Gillett should go unpaid for every game Alvarez has to miss. For me, the worst decision of the game that had nothing to do with VAR. We now have to look at how to do without him. We have 3 games without him. My worry is that with Phillips playing less and less that Moyes does not really want ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Johnson for Antonio is hardly a positive change. He’s got a striker on the bench that he signed. Use him. Yes, but the change wasn't being made for wanting what a striker could offer at that time. It was made to try and stop Villa getting the joy they were getting. It was obvious what he wanted Joh...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

I wouldn't focus on the VAR decisions as much if I were Moyes, but I'd ask why Alvarez is now banned for being kicked and why the person who kicked him was not sent off for doing something that he booked another player for minutes before? Two decisions that were completely down to the referee that h...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Antonio played 80 minutes the other night. How many would've expected him to play that again 3 days later? Again, we were under pressure before that. He could have brought Ings on, but he was looking at their danger coming from wide areas where they had pace and energy. Johnson was our answer to tha...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Some of you realise that Aston Villa are a real team of other humans being managed by another human right and that their changes can put us under pressure and influence the game aswell? A team who sit 4th may I add. He tried to stop their threat with Johnson. The reason for their threat was their 2 ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Against Burnley he had to repair his scary lineup at half time and today he has awaken a dead opponent with the Johnson/Antonio sub. Disappointing. He didn't awaken them. Bringing on Cash and Digne did that and he tried to react by stopping that danger. Their goal came from a run not being tracked ...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

What's the point?! Pretty much my feeling aswell. Usually I'd be screaming, but it's draining. You can see how it's ruining football and it's happening every week. Last minute winner and I didn't even celebrate as we'd had 2 chalked off already. So no surprise when it happened a 3rd. We can only tr...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Think it was pretty clear why he brought Johnson on. We were under pressure and he wanted him to restrict the danger they had from Cash/Digne. Not Moyes fault Johnson didn't really stick to the task and their goal came from not tracking a run. I don't think the sub was negative as we were under pres...

Ben Johnson preferred in CM over Phillips says it all about our options at the moment
Alvarez will not feature in our next 3 games. Phillips is going to have to come in.

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Once the dust settles, we now have to reflect on losing one of our best players for 2 games thanks to another atrocious piece of refereeing and also ask why we weren't playing against 10 men for the last part of the game. Throw the ball away on a yellow card, why is that not a red? What's the answer...

We've won the game 3 times over and come away with a draw and one of our best players banned for being kicked. What else can you say about it really? What the **** is the point anymore.

This is a disgrace. I despise Villa. This happening against them makes it all worse. ***** are in the league thanks to technology not being switched on and now scoring against them is still not allowed.

Zaniolo should be sent off and he's let off. Not fit enough to referee park football.
