One thing I always abide to is, you learn more about your club and fanbase when times are tough. Easy when it's all gravy but when things don't go to plan, that's when you see what your fans are about.

West Ham fans leaving the stadium in their droves at HT, 4-0 down to Arsenal.

Embarassing fanbase. Pathetic.

Recently won a European trophy, still in Europe now, 8th in the league, and they are leaving because they were getting a hiding from a superior team competing to win the league.

Apparently they're massive, everywhere they go?

And yet they desert the team like rats leaving a ship. Not having that. Really excellent core they have there 

Embarassing.

 

Fully agree….but 6-0 at home is unacceptable. Especially when they don’t have a midweek European game as an excuse for tiredness. 

McTominay makes up for being an absolute dogshit footballer by scoring these late goals. Been invaluable in a way to them horrible shits. 

Hope West Brom go bust. They’ve just fucked up my acca, the useless pricks.

Obviously there's a part of heat of the moment exaggerating my opinion but watching us play against these coming into the game in 18th place because we've been smashed with a 10 point penalty for financial breaches despite operating with both hands tied behind our back in the transfer market for the last 2 years, seeing them start players and bring others off the bench who cost more than most of our starting lineup combined, while they've got 115 charges hanging over their head, and everyone acting like all of this is just normal, all just makes you question a tiny bit how anyone takes the Premier League or top level football remotely seriously anymore.

I say this every time we play them as well. Their matches aren't entertaining. Yes you can appreciate the individual quality of their players but the way they play is actually just really boring.

Their fans giving it the olés now after being silent for the first 70 minutes .

It’s a complete farce, and I always question any neutral who says they like them. 
 

You’re right about their games being boring as well. Technically good, but shit to watch. 

That was dreadful defending from Branthwaite, he was weak as piss. 

Anything but a win is a disaster. Hoping for a favour from the blue lot, but City look ominous. 

It’s not a case of treating him badly. He’s been injured the majority of the last two years. At some point it has to give. Giving him a settlement would be cheaper than his wages for the season.

Instead, all he has done is sit in the sidelines with full pay, using up the club’s medical resources. It’s very frustrating to see when players end up in this position. I have sympathy for a player who gets a bad injury, but when you’re a constant sick note, then it starts becoming a real issue for me. Being fit and available is part of being a good professional. Can we say that Thiago has been worth the investment overall, I’m not sure we can.

Why would they have done that?

Get him off the wage bill. They knew he wasn’t going to play before the new year, surely? 

He’s out of contract and the likelihood is that he isn’t going to contribute much to the rest of this campaign, yet we’ll fix him up to go and play elsewhere. It’s very frustrating. The club should have moved him on in the summer, even if that meant releasing him.

You mean you don't mark your territory with your piss like a real alpha leader???  

Only in my bedroom. 

I don’t get how wanting to create less mess is seen as ‘unmanly’. Very weird take. 

He was on the pitch for ten fucking minutes. 

I must prefer to sit down. It’s just cleaner and you don’t have to worry about any clean up if you end up splashing. 

Come on Brentfordddd

Don’t think Gravenberch is good enough to start games like that for us. Other than when he first arrived, he hasn’t looked very good at all. Gives the ball away, has a bad first touch, rubbish defensively…he’s having a bad time of it. Didn’t have much choice in starting him yesterday, but he has to earn his way back into that starting 11 with some impactful substitute appearances.

Its probably the pundits that need to tone it down a bit. Having watched a few months of Sky Sports, I feel Sky should get rid of, or dramatically reduce the way Neville & Carragher are used. Spend whatever it takes to get Ally McCoist on board as the main co-commentator & analyst for the title race type matches. He's easily the best at co-commentating. His enthusiasm & impartiality always noticeable. Most Sky Sports analysis bits I have watched over the last few months has often sounded like overly partisan fan banter. Maybe it's what they're aiming for. But I'm not sure it's especially healthy. Or wise.

McCoist is easily the best around. I happily listen to the commentary when he is on. 
 

Probably was a tad unfair last night when it comes to the celebration comments. Had a few and I was still pissed off at how shite we were. We deserved fuck all from the game and Arsenal played well. Still stand by them being overly emotional, which absolutely stems from the manager being an absolute bellend. He was acting like this in the charity shield at the start of the season ffs.

I got to be honest here, who really cares about how they celebrated? 

Football is about emotions and passion. We are all human. They can celebrate a win any way they like. Some games will naturally always mean more than others.

They just beat one of the most in form teams in Europe in a must win game for their season, in front of their fans and it comes a few weeks back from when the same team done them on their turf in the Cup and got to laud it.

They've every right to celebrate however they choose as long as they can stomach and accept it back at them when they are turned over.

I just don't get why that card needs to be played. 

They celebrate like this often. They’ve not achieved anything, and are far too emotional to do so if you ask me. 

The celebrations from Arsenal were embarrassing. Odegaard acting like a right pleb taking photos like they just lifted the World Cup trophy. They celebrate like this all the time, looks tinpot. 

Nevermind, just saw why Bradley wasn’t in the team today.

Horrid performance from us today though. Just never got going really. 

Wish Klopp had just gave Bradley the start. Trent looked awful today. The whole team were save for ten minutes at the start of the second half. 

We’ve been shit.

If he played under Klopp or pep. The media and pundits would be in masturbation overdrive.

They wank him off. 

Jammy cunts

Wolves have let themselves down today. When I say wolves, I mean their defence. Been a fucking shambles.

Looks like minimal contact, if any. Certainly not enough for Neto to go down in such a heap. 

Tierney showcasing how truly awful he is. Should have given Chelsea one, possible two pens last night but doesn’t. Then tonight he gives a pen that was softer than both. Not that I’m complaining too much..
