Great result and good performances. Thoroughly deservred the 3 points. Anyone who says less is either a non attender or an idiot.

That was a very welcome result - and not one I expected, but the return of Arnie was key

Thought we looked really good in the first half, but were living dangerously when not holding the ball in the second half.

Three wins to go :thup:

Whilst it was a bit nervy at 1-0 we were by far the better side today.

Surprised by Watford really, they were very poor, but they are very similar to us in that they will get a massive result and then throw it away the week after.

Arnautovic knew he had them on toast and played like it all game until he tired.

Really happy to see the improvement of players under Moyes, and that's something we've not had in a manager for a long time. Antonio looks like he's had the rocket up his arse he's needed. Kouyate back to being Kouyate. Arnautovic is a world beater atm (and seems to absolutely love it here) and Ogbonna is unrecognisable. If we can back him in the summer with a few quality additions we could have a great season.

Lots to be positive about today. Well done lads. :scarfer:

Shout out for Chicha too who looks to be hitting top form. Really dangerous today and unlucky not to have at least a brace.

We won today and won well. I really do not understand the miserable posters on here. Get a life.

agreed, but i won't be happy with 50m, there should be a min of 80m, anything less and we've been had again.

An excellent result and some committed performances. Arnautovic, Collins, Zabalete, Kayoute, they in particular played well today.

The voice will be absent come Monday morning.

My mate said today that he counted 37 empty seats in his block. WTF is going on? I just watched MOD and there were hundreds of empty seats in the side areas. I’d be interested to know how many people actually turn up for a match rather than season tickets sold. Probably Baroness Brady’s middle class tourists who bought season tickets but can’t be arsed to go when it’s cold.

Good win and you could see the lads were playing as one and what it meant to them. Top marks.

Just one caveat. Our back line will be another year older next season.....does anyone really think that G and S are going to put their hands in their pockets for 2-3 new defensive players ?

Great stuff lads today but the issues the board is piling up for next season are mounting with every passing day, make no mistake.

The team that took the field reminded me of the club I love....full marks to the players and manager.

G and S though....still hiding and taking money away from the future......nothing has changed there.

Whole row in block next to us disappeared on 34mins and didn’t come back 2nd half?? Our block pretty much full bar the odd single seat. There were a lot of empty seats high up in the corners

To be honest with the lack of trains from essex every weekend making the journey a nightmare at the moment I'm surprised as many turn up as they do. Brentwood-Stratford normal journey is 30mins. Using the rail replacement bus and tube it's 1 1/2 hours. Even though I'd looked forward to the game all week I felt tempted not to bother (glad I did).

I thought it was a great game today. We put them under pressure in the first half and they had us under cosh in parts in the second half. I was in block 125 behind the goal and the 10 Spaniards next to us were fantastic singing 'Chicharito ' and swinging their scarves overhead. It made the atmosphere and the banter was hilarious towards the Watford fans. Seeing Chica score two goals was great. Arnie was immense and Adrians save from the free kick was brilliant. A Good day all round.

I hate it and would love to go back but we cant. days ike yesterday make you forget the crap seats, sterile environment, plastics, stop/go boards,etc.

I have my west ham routine carpeneters, ribman, west ham, carpenters

not the same as green street but bearable until we get new owners in 5 years or so
