This weekends other games 1 & 2 December

We should go for Moses instead of SInclair

Would that not have meant we chose the wrong player in the beginning when we picked AJ over Moses? I remember Marwood coming out & declaring that we picked the right one...

Yep, he's twice player of both of them.

PS. I always thought keeper's handball outside of box is sending off ??

Why isn't it a red card if the keeper comes out of his box and makes contact with the ball with his fist????

Not sure. Moses really came on at Wigan and I doubt he'd be the player he is now if he moved to us instead of them.

When a keeper leaves his area he is subject to the same rules which govern all regular outfield players. Deliberate handball is not a sending-off offence unless it is considered to be used in the denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity.

For that reason keepers are often sent-off for handling outside their box, because a keeper caught out of his goals regularly infers the opposition have a chance to score. On this occasion though, there was plenty of other Chelsea players around and the ball wasn't under the control of a West Ham player.

I think the ref has got this one pretty much spot-on.

I like Moses, but why? We barely see Sinclair as it is. Maybe Moses wouldn't have been happy in Scotts position either, and didn't he cost more?

He surely wouldn't be happy in Sinclair's position, nobody would :)

He might costed slightly more but he just looks better player imo

Surprised that goal was allowed to stand. Cole seemed to be climbing all over Ivanovic.

Hazard didn't look like happy lad when subbed
