The Football.....

I have to say though although we are going through a slippery patch at the moment i am enjoying being in this league.It's very exciting and competitive and if you slip up you will get punished.

I love it too. The EPL has become an over-hyped soap opera with the focus on "Personalities" and the football can be very tedious.

Always been a problem at West Ham. The fans are great when the team is winning but far too quick to turn on their own players at a time they actually need the support. I've seen it many a time when I was a regular at Upton Park. Any fool can can roar their team on when they're 2-0 up, but it's when the score is the other way the players need to know the fans are behind them.

Not just the players. Where would they be now with Davie Moyes?

We were terrible in David Moyes last season and the European Conference league Cup win just papered over the cracks.

Good. Pleased to read you're enjoying it. Yesterday's game was typical of many, in the balance for the full 95 minutes and I was genuinely nervously excited until the final whistle went.

Yes, PL football is very tedious, well boring really.

That first Blackburn goal was typical West Ham this season so prone to the counter attack with what must be the slowest two defenders in the Championship in Kilman and Mavropanos backed up by a goalkeeper who never seems to be able to make a save.
I did think leading up to the second Blackburn goal that there was a clear foul on Kilman but West Ham should have played to the whistle.I think it would have definitely been disallowed if there was VAR in this league but saying that i would rather take human error over the dreaded VAR anyday.
As for the travelling West Ham fans as you said you pays your money......

Lastly i just have to say about all the talk about West Ham were going to smash this league was all media talk and we're too grounded to believe that nonsense!
Well done for yesterday and good luck in the future.

I'll have to find a clip to watch as I haven't seen the replays. These things tend to even out. On Tuesday night we were denied a perfectly good equaliser which VAR might well have allowed.

I'll sacrifice a point or two if it means we don't have to put up with VAR.

Cole Palmer justs gets taken out by 2 Sunderland defenders, and VAR decides it's not a foul? Neither defender got near the ball.
What a stupid game football loves to make itself.

And to cap it off, Sunderland given a penalty when their attacker clearly is pulling the defender to ground.
