Just finished watching the whole match - we had too many people in the house for me to watch it ' live ' in comfort - Thought we matched them all over the park , could have gone in 1-0 up at half time but hey-ho the young lad made up for it .
It might not have looked like the best of games , too many stops and starts , we didn't let them play their usual game and they didn't let us play ours - the difference was Declan Rice , what a great kid he is , the antithesis of Marko Arnautovic , modest , a little on the shy side , the ultimate Boy Next Door and I'm so happy he plays for West Ham . However , whenever we beat a top team like Arsenal it's never about just one man , it's about the whole team , everyone played their part , well done , lads .
As for Marko Arnautovic , it's a shame what's going on with him , this season could have been the best since 2015/16 and it probably still will be but it could have been so much better if only Marko had asked for a transfer next summer and played his part for the whole of this season .
I'm not going to pretend I know the ins and outs of all this - is he being driven out by the owners , are they trying to cash in on one of their best assets , is his brother trying to engineer a move or engineer a pay rise ?
If it's the latter then pay him what he's worth , give him parity with the highest paid West Ham player and let's be a happy squad once more - this season could turn out to be something special , I really hope Marko Arnautovic is part of it .
Anyway , well done , West Ham , that was a superb win over one of the best teams in the Premiership .
