West Ham (A) Post Match Thread

I can see someone conceding 10 goals against us this season.

Was just going to say that mate . Some team could get handed a really big beating. Might not happen but it's certainly possible

I'm not taking the piss... I truly believe it was Photoshopped.

I agree coz there’s no way it was off side unless photo shopped.

No what he actually said was,

"I just haven't enjoyed what's gone on today. The two finishes (by Raheem Sterling) were very similar. One was given, one was wasn't. We're talking fractions. The penalty, a little bit of common sense, did it really need to be taken again? No, call it a good save. You want that human element sometimes, but we haven't had that today. The game has been ruined by what's gone on"

Which I totally agree with.

Ok Paul ; p

Top of the table.

BBC and Sky will be gutted.

If we'd won 3-0 they'd publish a table showing the dippers top by goals scored, not a chance of them showing one now.

Said in the pre match thread it was brilliant man management putting in Mahrez and Jesus. We all know how good Sergio and Bernardo are, but the time was right for seeing if Mahrez and Jesus could step up. Mahrez confidence has probably been sky high since the goal at Brighton plus winning African cup of nations, as with Jesus winning the Copa America.

How many headlines will say that we are off to a perfect Title defense start?

wrong on the penalty for two reasons....Declan Rice encroached and the cleared it...(as did the other West Ham player next to him) - if they hadnt the ball could have fallen to a city player who didnt encroach.

Also the keeper was clealry off his line when he saved...moving forward gives the goalkeeper an advantage by closing the angle down slightly for the penalty taker...both the keepers feet were clearly off his line when sergio struck the penalty. They werent on the second attempt - that will catch a lot of keepers out during the season - i hope the coaches at city are ooking at that with all the keepers as it will be a habit with all of them

Yep and they were home to Norwich.
We were away to the Hammers.

I know which one I would have preferred to open the season with...

If it's Liverswamp I'll shave me head.

The goal that was given looked more offside than the one that wasn't.
I don't actually know if either of the decisions were correct or not.
The penalty was a good spot by VAR, although the keeper would still have saved it had he stayed on the line and rice would still have got to the ball first so that went in our favour.
Thought the last goal could have been pulled back for a foul
