Laughable!

It runs throughout their prima dona team toughening pampered like f***, as I noticed when the teams came back after half time, Courtois had his own personal water bottle carrier in full Chelsea tracksuit strip who's sole job was to run and place the bottle beside his goal before running back to their bench. Seen it all now. :lol:

Conte moaning about tiredness on Match of the Day. So how about using some of your humungously expensive squad players?

To be fair, not only were they tired, some of them were very, very cold.

But, for the sake of your health, have the sound down when it comes to the dullard "pundits". It'll all be about how Chelski effed up, not about how well the Hammers played!

I almost have to be dragged to games nowadays, but man that felt good today.
Great team and fan performance.
Nice to be able to easily identify where Moyes and his team are improving us, keeping a defensive shape and not trying to close down too much in our final third.
Confidence coming back in the likes of Obiang and Ogbonna who both looked much better than they have been
Cresswell looks better as a centre half in a three than he does at fullback too.

Marko Arnautovic looking absolutely delighted in his post-match interview...
You could see he was near to tears in his interview Guv. I think the emotion of scoring his first goal, and having a great game hit home.

You won't find a single post of mine slagging Moyes off. That's because I believe with the right team, playing the way he wants, he is going to be very good for us. Lets face it, Sunderland were ***** from top to bottom, and no amount of good coaching was going to polish that turd.

Everything I have heard him say in his interviews since taking over gives me a bit of a buzz about the future. My only worry was the players not being up for the fight, but now they have shown they have, I feel so much more positive.

One game at a time...

Do you know how long it takes Chelsea players to count their money?
It's so exhausting for them.

That was brilliant. Incredible how different we looked today. Players came across well drilled and worked hard. If we do that we will start climbing very quickly.

Decent atmosphere as well for the bowl. :crest: overchuffed

I actually get more satisfaction from stiffing the rent boys than anyone else - including Tottenham.

Was it the best game ever played at the LS? No, the Chelsea cup game and Spurs were better. But today was about grit and determination - that's the West Ham way. We're going to need a lot more of that over the coming months

Good atmosphere in the ground and I am sure Westfield are well chuffed having 1000's of happy hammers singing throughout their shopping centre.

A few snippetts from The Shed End:-

you have to worry that we will repeat this type of performance over Christmas - playing 7 games against bottom half of the table teams maybe isn't what we need if the players can't find the hunger and energy to out-battle teams that are scrapping for survival

This squad is too thin IMO.

I agree with u 100%...this is what we predicted..lack of quality squad depth will cost us dearly..look at man city's front line...aguero..sane..sterling..kdp...silva...bernando Silva...jesus.......compare that to our front line....hazard..morata...pedro..willian......
