Re: West Ham -United -v- Chelsea Match Thread
Almost impossible to drag myself away from the pub after the game, can't remember the last time I felt that happy coming out of west ham. Oh yeah, it was Spurs last year and then Chelsea before that.
Overchuffed for the points, the performance, and the fact it was Chelsea.
Atmosphere was bang on as well which shows what can be achieved at our stadium. When the whole stadium is in voice it's a thing to behold.
Arthur is strong becoming a favourite, as is Zaba. Noble gave away loads of balls but I still like having him in the team for the London derbies. Adrian needs to stay in the team.
Even if we get 0 points against Arsenal, I'll be happy if we play with this much organisation and passion/fight.

Thought Nobes was good today, especially after all the flack he’s taken so far this season...but when he’s fit, and everyone else is playing close to how they should, plus a bit of organisation, it makes a massive difference. He was a leader today. Mr West Ham

Some were. Others were doing cursory checks. The whole thing is a farce.RichieRiv wrote:Should've added that the worst part of the day was the Mickey Mouse security in that poxy queue. They were going through old girls handbags, making people take their hats off and doing full front to back metal detector checks. All whilst the clueless old bill watch on picking their noses.
Re: West Ham -United -v- Chelsea Match Thread
I somewhat surprisingly got to choose MOTM today, I just hope the majority felt Arthur deserved it. I thought he was fantastic.
Cracking day all round, the crowd played their part today.

Tell them about how they were getting 7k in the late eighties and they all claim to have been there.e17 wrote:I think it’s partly about the class and type of supporters they attract and living in West London it’s amazing how many borderline enemy/friends I have who have become “big” Chelsea fans in the last 15 years. The Tim Lovejoy types.. blokes I know who dabbled between Brentford, Fulham and Chelsea until Roman and co came in to buy them their odious little trophy haul.
A couple of them go on about “the shed in the seventies” because they’re so desperate to prove their credence as proper Chelsea supporters, when it’s clear as Crystal that they bought into it all when they started buying success. These supporters are DESPERATE to be authentic.. its cringe inducing.

Ha ha ha ha ! Don't you just feel for them ? Hazard alone in that front line is probably worth more than our entire squad !Johnny Byrne's Boots wrote:
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......
This is one of the reasons I can't stand them - it's as if they're owed something. Them, Spurs, Arsenal, they all feel that they're entitled
We beat and were better than them today. We were also fantastic as supporters today. Hardly knew they were even there. Whatever GSB are aiming to achieve, they'll never replace us lot and they'd do well to remember that and keep us onside !!

When I was being searched the metal detector went off on an empty pocket :lol:
Must be Sulli's cost-cutting.

Load of their plastic fans on the tube beforehand. Original song from them:
You lost Payet, Dimitri Payet,
just don't think you understand
you just can't blame the bloke
the club's a f'ing joke,
you lost Dimitri Payet.........
Quite true I guess in some ways but not good to hear coming from that lot. I wanted to give it the old "where were you when you were s***....but there were far too many of them.
Would loved to have seen them going home!

Zabaleta-Reid-Ogbonna-Cresswell
Lanzini-Noble-Obiang-Masuaku
Antonio-Arnautovic
or

Great performance and great result.
Even better that it's against the rent boys.
Much gnashing of teeth in Surrey tonight no doubt.

Re: West Ham -United -v- Chelsea Match Thread
This one was all down to me lads. I transferred Kane out of my fantasy team and brought in Morata and made him captain. I'll try and get Sanchez in my team for Wednesday!
I couldn't watch the game live, but have since replayed it. Thought Masuaku played well, he has great feet, but the whole team put in a shift. I know Ogbonna gets some stick, but I think he is class.
Same work rate against Arsenal please, but maybe some players will need a rest. Cresswell finally looked back to his best. Seems to be a good feeling amongst the squad. Adrian has to be in goal.
I'm glad the pundits (here in the U.S.) gave us credit for our performance rather than saying Chelsea had an off day. We didn't allow them to play.
