Shades of 2020/21 when we thought we were positioned well to defend the title, only to shoot ourselves in the foot with our centre back situation, allowing a strong but not perfect Man City side to walk to the title. It’s a shame that a side relying almost exclusively on set-piece specialists, though probably the best the game has ever seen, will walk to the title this season.

I agree entirely that Arsenal have one hand on the trophy, but I’m not willing to say they’re walking it yet. One bad week for them when we win and it’s 4 points, and I refuse to believe that we don’t have the quality to hunt them down.
All of that said…BIG FUCKING WEEK COMING UP!!

What a hit by Bowen, that’s incredibly unlucky.
Then Murphy goes down the other end and scores, oh dear. Nobody within 50 yards of Guimares, their new LB who’s name I shall not name turned inside out, what a sham.
Bowen winning a pen…or does he? Thiaw looks like he gets nick on the ball first…overturned, you actually see the contact on the ball clearer in full speed.
Paqueta free kick saved onto the post by Pope, one of those where he makes a meal of it but also simulteanously turns out to be a good save.
Potts wins the ball. Tonali is late and gets the worst of the contact as a result and somehow gets the free kick

Glorious strike from Paqueta.
Miss seeing those goals in the league, questions mark over Pope there. The decision to flap it away moreso than attempted save…it looked like a simple catch.
It was bad. He easily made up the ground but dived over it
West Ham deserve to be level. Newcastle have been poor so far and marginal decisions are all going their way.
Gordon looked like he was wearing a beret then after he got up.

Oooooooh that’s a nasty one for Botman.
Good play from West Ham, AWB getting forward well but the cross should’ve been dealt with more comfortably than that.
Yeh, what a shame.

He’s a strange keeper Pope, sometimes very confident but rarely unbeatable.

West Ham are just sitting back on this one goal lead. A dangerous game.
Joelinton is such a dopey twat.

Nev on our coverage wasberating him for over celebrating what should have been seen as a routine save about 5 mins before then doing that.

Fuck up on number 3 today.
Lovely. Cannot wait for Nuno to stabilize these, get them to mid table then come under pressure next year for not respecting the “west ham way”

Always knew West Ham would come away with the win today…
Over to you Cherries.
“Due to their goal difference they stay in the bottom three”.
Err no it’s due to them being 3pts behind Burnley.

Do we stay in 3rd regardless of the result here?
“Celebrations will continue as we turn our attention”
They are currently undertaking a sit in protest against the owners…. Kelly’s not having a great afternoon.
Also I think she said Eddie Howe would be celebrating when she meant Nuno.
Then again it’s all still more insightful than Matty Ritchie’s views.
