Bournemouth showing teams the wrong way to play against us but go in level, we've been wasteful with the chances. 

Which is now what they are doing after the goal. We turn into chicken shits under pressure

The year where man utd ended with more trophies 😂😂 The year where Man Citeh got knocked out by Arsenal and Man Fucking United, FA Cup and league cup respectively. Nice try though 😂😂

 

 

You know you have dropped off when you are counting the  Community shield as a freaking trophy 😂

the fact you are bragging about the cup and a europa league shows how badly united had fallen off over the years. 

Clearly the Man City team of this year is far better than what they were last year in pretty much every area.

Firstly, great game for the neutral.

First thirty minutes as you predicted was a contest between two full teams lacking in confidence not brave enough to take a chance incase they concede as a direct result. 

Just before the first goal Zaha appeared to get pushed in the area. From my view which was almost side on he looked like he had been pushed but others were more sceptical. Then sods law West Ham get a break away and they score. I'd have to watch the replays but at the time it looked like Speroni could have done more.

Then shortly after Joe Hart - who had a fantastic game - made a great double save. We were playing keepy uppys with our headers before Tomkins directed one at goal which forced a good save but the sexond save from a Schlupp volley seemed so good at the time I question how much he knew about it.

Then sods law West Ham score a goal which was better than the save beforehand. In our position at the bottom of the table we have to be picky and say Ayew should have been closed down but my word what a strike it was.

So at half time we were depleted with a load of what if thoughts and thinking it would be a loss by three or more goals. 

Then second half we were a completely different side. Won an early penalty which was converted, Hart made another good save, Cabaye then hit the post, and the game went flat. Fonte and Lanzini time wasted (and fair play to the ref for totalling it all up), Tomkins was rattled, Zaha was rattled, and I thought we had blown it.

Then Cabaye forced another very good save out of Hart from a free kick and it felt like we still had life in us. The players were up for it, Zaha was revelling in the 'too shit for England' chants and we got the late goal I could see coming.

If we play like that every week we will stay up. A big month ahead after the Spurs game.

On a side note, Billic looked like he had nothing left to give at full time. This job has really zapped the energy out of him.

Fancy Andy King to score today and there to be a red card in the game.

It's King's birthday and there's been a lot of publicity in and around the club about it being his 10 year anniversary at the club earlier this month. 

It's also the remembrance fixture for us and while the club can be criticised a lot sometimes about the way the club is run, they always do a very good remembrance service around this time of year.
