⚽ West Ham Utd 2-2 Arsenal (16/4/23)

[Plashet Grove Pete]

Has anybody ever seen Jill Scott and Mick Channon in the same room?

Mick "Oi oike that Line Acher boy" Channon

[Plashet Grove Pete]

I don't know what territories of control actually means, but it seems notable that we are massively in control on the left and not the right.

Vladimir Putin can help here.

[DublinDave]

We are the Title chasing killers.

Let's hope it works against Man City..!

[SiamHammer]

Doesn't the double jeopardy rule only apply to the keeper?

Yes

EDIT: Apparently not

[old fart]

Worth noting how ineffective Saka was. Everyone focused on the penalty miss, but Cresswell must have done a good job because he didn't get much of a look in at all.

Careful, I'm not sure that's allowed

[mickthekeeper]

If a pen is given, its only a red if there is no intention to play the ball.
Clumsy tackle- pen, no red
Push/pull back - pen and red

Should have been a yellow though

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

I can't for the life of me see where Paqueta wouldn't have had the opportunity to have a shot if he wasn't fouled

[Crouchend_Hammer]

tbf i think Holding would have got the ball if Gabrial hadn't fouled Paquetta

[Paolopaul]

They basically said Arsenal’s average position changed to try and combat the danger Bowen was causing.

Sometimes I think people just decide they are going to have a moan no matter what is said.

You’re probably right, I’d had a long day!

Was actually quite interesting to see how much Jesus was dragged over to almost left back to help stop Bowen - yet he still had a great second half despite all the attention.

Bowen has quietly been very effective in the last couple of months. Not back at England call up form but involved in a lot of what we do well going forward.

Read yesterday that rice was in the tunnel getting a signed shirt of olegard, surely it shouid have been the other way round, also spotted they were having a chat at one of the corners probly arguing who was gonna be captain next year. Just wish this club had real ambition to lose talent like rice is a tragedy and I think we will always be a feeder club which saddens me.

Arsenal have been a feeder club for us in the past with Robson,Brady,Hartston and Wright

[Coops]

Will we be getting an Opposition View for this game?
Arsenal flavoured salty tears would be a good accompaniment to my late morning coffee.

Im sure its already been mentioned but f*** me what a difference we as supporters can make to the teams performance, - and our opponents. Theres been a lot of recent critisim of the teams apathy (and mostly justified) but when we rock that bowl it makes one helluva difference - and has already been mentioned by several players. I loved my day out in the sun yesterday - was a real galvanising experience. Chicken and egg and all that but we seriously can make a difference.. Now lets go and scare the living bejusus outta Gent and those scouse twats under lights...

... + Upson, Ljungberg, and that tall centre forward whose name temporarily escapes me, ...

[Igor_E7]

One of the best Mondays since long time

Chamakh ??

[EastHam56]

The goal machine that was John radford

[Bubbles Fortuna]

... + Upson, Ljungberg, and that tall centre forward whose name temporarily escapes me, ...

We got Upson from Birmingham didn't we?

I saw a claim yesterday that Arsenal have never bought a player from us, that can't be true?

Suker, Perez and Winterburn also

[PlaistowIron]

Suker, Perez and Winterburn also

Almunia, Jenkinson, Lansbury - all on loan

[mike1961]

Yes, Suker was the one I was thinking of (he didn't exactly set the world alight).

[Bubbles Fortuna]

Jeremie Aliadiere.
