Arsenal 2-0 West Ham Utd (15/12/21)

[sendô]

Just a quick point to make here:

Arsenal went into this game, through this game, and came out of this game as if it was one of the biggest games of the season against a ****ing massive team.

Arteta was twitching and ranting and cheating and moaning on the sidelines like it was Chelsea or Citeh.

He wasn't this excited vs Spurs.

Arsenal played really, really well and deserved to win. No qualms there from me.

Coufal should not have even had a single yellow.

. The Burnley Pen last week, todays decision… I’m not sure these things even themselves out as people say.

100% they don’t even themselves out. The season Leicester won the league, for example. 90 Mins had a ref look at key decisions given over the course of that season. With poor ref calls corrected, they finished 6th. We finished 3rd.

Three bad VAR decisions , ina couple of weeks, Brighton, Burnley and tonight almost like the decision has been made no more top 4 for lowly West Ham. So angry, forgot how angry until the above neighbours telly got louder and louder. Think I might have got a bit
too sweary

A month ago I mentioned on here that this was coming.

It happened same time last year when we were pushing to stay top four.

We cannot be allowed to stay there we are not one of the sky / breakaway teams,

Order has been restored, I wonder will someone eventually whistle blow and expose the bent officials

[alantaylorsleftfoot]

Been saying it for years, you cannot play Arthur in a back four, it will never work

He was not the only poor player tonight, but whatever his strengths are as a footballer he shouldn't play in defence; not even a back 5.

We were well beaten tonight, we couldn't deal with their press - not even our more technical players like Lanzini, Fornals and Arthur.

Let's hope Cresswell is back for Saturday, we have no balance without him.

Anyone still watching this horseshit on BT....

Walton backtracking. Keown being his usual clueless monkey headed self, and Cole not with his mate on a West Ham night in Europe. Can all go and **** themselves. At least I ain't paying BT for this.

We didn't deserve a thing but ffs

Was listening to Cole covering a Chelsea game a couple of weeks ago and kept referring to them as “we” and “us”, trying to cover up his hard-on while talking about them. Ever since then I’ve completely ignored what he’s said about West Ham.

[OFT]

Just a reminder that Coufal got his first yellow card for that very soft challenge on Tierney in the first half (where the Arsenal players surrounded the ref asking for a red card). Joke.

And shortly afterwards Antonio caught one in the face...nowt given.

f***'em

[Ingwe]

As the long running gag had it, we were called the Christmas lights……we come down after Christmas. We’re starting early this year.

Apart from the dodgy refereeing and Arteta’s effing about, we were just second best and missing too many players and performances.

Fight the despair. We can only improve.

[McKnightmare]

Not much of a night for positives, but Ashby didn't looked phased, despite coming on in high pressured circumstances.

We've run out of puff at a crucial stage when the games are coming thick and fast. I'd actually welcome Saturday's game getting called off for some much needed rest and recalibration. Need some reinforcements for sure.

FFS, he was a Chelsea fan before he was a West Ham player, however he turned out to be a West Ham captain.

Get over yourself fella FFS

I remember some of them clearly… the penalty we conceded away at Chelsea late in the game for them to equalise… for a non-foul, outside the box….

The Kouyate red card at home to Palace that was later recinded…

The penalty conceded away at Leicester for a nothing challenge by Andy Carroll…

We were majorly screwed over.

It’s even worse though now, as they look at it multiple times and bend us over in slow motion.

[Oldun]

Peter Walton was an absolutely shocking referee ,so why would anyone take any notice of his **** opinion .

[HammerAl]

FFS, he was a Chelsea fan before he was a West Ham player, however he turned out to be a West Ham captain.

Get over yourself fella FFS

F*cking hell, calm down Ozza.

Christ.

[Turtlecharityracer]

Moyes showing some integrity.
Threw Coufal under the bus though.

[bonzosbeard]

Joe Cole, Martin Keown, Pete Walton all think it was a fair penalty and 2nd yellow card. Can **** right off.

Moyes thinks its a pen

[OFT]

Moyes thinks its a pen

Moyes out

[Monkeybubbles]

Too many games, squad too small. Surely we all knew it wasn't going to last?

Declan didn't have a great game by his standards but he still covered a lot of ground. When all the hard work catches up with him like it has with the rest of the team, we're bollacksed.

[MK-Hammer]

Moyes on BT

Honest on TV ….Saying Coufal should have made better contact on the tackle ….gave ref benefit of doubt.

Honest about how we have not played well since international break.

Class act

Moyes thinks its a pen

Well he’s wrong on that one. Maybe he’s not seen it properly or he’s playing some 5D chess by not showing his annoyed with their corruption.

What does that cock know anyway? :lol:

[Hammer in Hornchurch]

The penalty/red card decision verges on cheating in favour of the so called big six, and exactly what sky/BT want.
But in the match as a whole, we were beaten by the better team,
The backup players are just not good enough, you can see Moyes knows it in his subs and the fact that before the injuries the team was virtually unchanged.
It’s been said so often, but not having an alternative senior striker is crazy at a PL club and it’s really showing now.
