Well who saw that coming.!?!
A fantastically disciplined performance. Arguably our best performance of the season and a clean sheet to boot.
Well said that man.brookingslovechild wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 7:59 amweren’t lucky to lose our 2 best centre half’s before the game and our midfield genius 10 mins in joe. Beat the best team in the league who haven’t lost at home all season.eskimo joe wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 5:59 am
Lucky for the first goal, lucky they werent awarded a penalty, lucky none of their 30 odd efforts on goal weren't finished off better, lucky the ball hit the post instead of going in. Luck can come in many guises and last nights i will take if it garners positive results. Bad luck was not against us last night. Well it made a brief appearance at Bennys' penalty kick, but i think good luck thought he had over paid.
no luck against utd or wolves.
it’s irrational to me how we can’t celebrate the season we are having without giving moyes grief or saying how lucky we’ve been. Are there any supporters quite as disfunctional as us? It’s mental .
I’m guessing it’s going to get tough through jan with all the missing players so expect more melt downs incoming , but today I’m enjoying a good week of footy and sitting pretty in the league.
I reckon every team has lovers and haters of the manager it’s natural. Not looking to change anyone’s view fella and believe me I am the most negative West Ham fan going, years of disappointment does that . So like the payet season which I loved and Europe last season , I’m giving positivity a whirl …….only until we get stuffed by Brighton obviously ..HNYeskimo joe wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 8:25 amJust saying that it wasnt really bollox to say we had luck. Like i said i couldnt care less if we did at the end of the day it all counts. Could say we were lucky Paquta started, he hurt himself just before kick off, he if i recall was instrumental in starting a move that led to the goal.brookingslovechild wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 7:59 am

I will admit i find it impossible to credit a man i have absolutely no respect for, and these results have only helped to accept but not like who we are.
How many other teams would have their entire 11 packed inside the area ?Rick_Deckard wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 9:52 am "They did [Arsenal}not convert any of their 30 shots, while they had 77 touches in the opposition box - the most on record (since 2008-09) in a Premier League match for a team who failed to score."
how many other teams would have survived that without conceding ?
Also worth asking how many really serious saves did Areola have to make. There was one I recall in the first half which was top quality, the one he tipped over the bar and a shot from Odegaard in the second half that had to be pushed round the post. Other than that, apart from a decent chance that Jesus headed over I don't recall too much that worried him.Rick_Deckard wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 9:52 am "They did [Arsenal}not convert any of their 30 shots, while they had 77 touches in the opposition box - the most on record (since 2008-09) in a Premier League match for a team who failed to score."
