Am sure Arteta can accept not getting the rub of the green as he realised “how difficult and big is the referee’s job” when the decision went Arsenal’s way against West Ham 😉
This goal was scored earlier this season - identical situation to the Mbeumo handball shout on Sunday.
Howard Webb said the Mbeumo decision was wrong. Guess what he said about this one?
Karren Brady’s promise of “a world-class team in a world-class stadium” rings even more hollow now. West Ham United should never have moved to a soulless public athletics track. Great move for the board but not for the fans. Leaving Upton Park made sense for commercial reasons but not sporting/atmosphere.
Daniel Levy was right. The Olympic Stadium should have been knocked down and a proper football stadium built there. It is a good site. But the Olympic lobby and politicians got all protective and precious about the 2012 legacy. How often does this country need a huge athletics arena anyway?
Yes, West Ham won a European trophy since they’ve left Upton Park. But London Stadium was always a problem, always a passion-killer, fans distant from the ones they love, the players, and limited potential for increased revenue streams.
Other reasons behind club’s demise. Lack of leadership in the boardroom. Recruitment an issue, too. What a mess. Record losses, fears over future of Fernandes, Summerville and Nuno, intensified protests against chairman Sullivan.
Relegation likely. Two points adrift of safety following 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. Wretched goal difference (-22) compared to Spurs’ (-9). Spurs need only a point from Chelsea away (hard) or David Moyes’ Everton at home to guarantee survival and condemn West Ham. Can Moyes do West Ham a favour? The club who let him go. West Ham need to beat ex-Spur Joe Rodon and Leeds at home anyway.
West Ham look doomed to the drop. They will return but need better ownership. And many of their fans have been warning of this perfect storm for some time. #WHUFC
Still not over but that’s us down for me. Forget the results, the signings, the board, the tactics. The thing I genuinely can’t move past from this season is Nuno playing a right-back at left-back AND a left-back at right-back in the same game. Brother.
Really poor performance …
3 at the back when you’ve got to win ?
Nuno’s at fault for this!
Too many players not good enough ….
Championship here we come !!!
Total clear out needed from top to bottom….
I feel really sorry for our magnificent fans …

Taty the only one fighting, yet he's the one Nuno rotated out of the starting XI. Since he came on, we've looked better.
Nuno and his preference for defensive football has cost our league position. A 4-4-2 has worked the majority of the time, so why change it?! 🤦🏻♂️⚒️
Every single player to a man has absolutely disgraced themselves and this football club today, and for the majority of the season.
Absolutely pathetic and spineless and we deserve absolutely everything we’re gonna get.
Going down with a whimper.
Darren England telling Caicedo that there's camera watching is quite funny, considering he couldn't see the 10 fouls in the Arsenal box with said cameras last week.
After watching/listening to this it feels to me that Darren England’s early call of a potential foul on Raya meant that nothing else that happened in the penalty box was properly analysed at all (despite the assistant VAR’s best efforts)
Im late to this party, i didnt bother watching the game.
But how did the officials conclude the 6th foul in this sequence was the only thing that mattered?
It was either a goal or pick from one of 5 pens
In the past week alone:
- Mavropanos disallowed goal at Brentford
- Kayode leg breaker on Mavropanos for first goal but no foul given
- Soucek rugby tackled. No pen
- Pablo wiped out by a player “slipping”. No pen
- Wilson disallowed goal despite at least three Arsenal players committing fouls
Get us the fuck out of this corrupt league. Cheating bastards @FA_PGMOL
“Arsenal have been blocking the opponent’s goalkeeper all season long, they would NEVER be on top of the league if we disallow these goals!”
Peter Schmeichel thank you for calling them out. have your cheating title VARSENAL. 👏
