VAR is a joke 9 mins to disallow a clear and obvious error. Don't make me laugh it's sucking the life out the game. The referee has made a decision in a minute what VAR couldn't in eight minutes. Total nonsense.

Agree10 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 17:48:04
Yup its killing the game and unfortunately it's now not being used for the purpose intended. Ref decision first and foremost should be what counts and only if he is unsure should it be reviewed. We've now got to the stage where every goal scored is scrutinised in order to wipe it out?

17 Mar 2024 21:02:25
The decision that annoyed me the most was the ref blowing for a foul on the keeper as Kudus took his shot on the edge of the box. Var if used correctly would not have ruled that out.

The Alvarez card was also a joke, then he bottled the second yellow for Zaniola. Really poor officiating again.

18 Mar 2024 07:11:06
The problem with VAR of course is that its still down to Human Interpretation, so what be seen as no goal by one ref is seen by a goal by another ref mand therefore, although VAR performs the same, the ref's all view the offences differently so its a pointless piece of kit! And slowly its killing the game. We go to be entertained and to see goals scored. VAR does exactly the opposite and disallows goals. And as for this "REF is going over to have another look" mallarky? Every single time he changes his mind, unless of course its Liverpool, Man city or Man Utd and they get far too mnay decisions in their favour

18 Mar 2024 10:47:50
I despair of the quality of modern referees. Yesterday Mr Gillette lost the game early von by not blowing for obvious fouls and I notice neither MOTD or Sky showed Anthonio being fouled as he got away from his own half, not even a whistle let alone a booking.

VAR as a technology is fine it's the idiots (My Opinion) using it that is wrong Mr Webb could bring in a simple time rule saying if you can't decide in 90 seconds than it stays with the on field referee decision might wake some of them up - yesterday was a farce

18 Mar 2024 16:36:52
The problem with VAR is the dreadfully wrong blunders they've made so now they are petrified of getting another wrong so this is why it's taking so long but why do we always get a poor ref for our games.⚒⚒⚒

17 Mar 2024 16:06:28
VAR is a fiddle. Not the reason we didn't take 3 points . Emerys subs a good coach move . Moyes subs ridiculous and a bad coach move . Dunno how much if this rubbish I can watch everyweek. Good first half then sat back

Agree10 Disagree0

21 Mar 2024 14:35:25
We'll have to hope there will be Fog On The Toon come March 30th.

17 Mar 2024 07:12:08
I know it's p*ssing in the wind, but I cannot shake the thought that we will draw with Villa. It all depends on how Moyes sets us up. COYI!

Agree13 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 15:31:21
Well 1-0 up with 20 mins to go

17 Mar 2024 15:56:27
The moment Antonio came off, the game changed and we revert back to defending a la moyes and not surprising villa score!

17 Mar 2024 15:58:38
And then up pops soucek lol

17 Mar 2024 17:28:52
I said to my Daughter why is he taking Ant off, typical bloody Moyes reverting to defensive tactics, he sickens me, if he had bought Ings on I could have understood it after coming so near to scoring a hat trick but not Johnson!
I just knew Villa would snatch a goal after pressing so much then thought they may even get a winner which wouldn’t have been undeserved!
Ant had the bloody hump being taken off especially who he saw was replacing him I would have thought!
⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒

17 Mar 2024 17:50:52
Moyes trying to see the game out 1-0 up. And that's why he should leave. Good news is that the Hammers are set to launch a fresh bid to sign Manchester United defender Harry Maguire in the summer (here we go again. Is there no centre backs in Europe better than him? Sick of us wanting uniteds cast offs

18 Mar 2024 01:59:05
But we keep getting told by "football experts" that we should be thankful Moyes is our manager and he's doing such a good job at WHU. He had no choice, but to pick the starting XI. Personally, I would prefer to see Ings over Antonio in an attacking setup, but it didn't take Desperate Dave long to crap himself and revert to a defensive formation. Strictly by the letter of the law, the ref was right to rule out those goals, but we should never have been in that position in the first place. That game was there for the taking and had we had a more positive coach, we could easily have taken all three points early on. What transpired is a prime example of why we will never progress with Moyes in charge.

18 Mar 2024 05:21:32
Another former Hammer, Frank McAvennie, is a so-called “football pundit”. He declares that Lucas Paqueta ‘may want to leave if Real Madrid come calling’. Seriously? This bloke actually gets paid money for stating the bloody obvious! McAvennie went on in his scoop to say that Paqueta breathes in and out. Well I never.

15 Mar 2024 12:35:48
Quarter-finals:
AC Milan v Roma
Liverpool v Atalanta
Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham
Benfica v Marseille
Semi-finals:
Benfica or Marseille v Liverpool or Atalanta
AC Milan or Roma v Bayer Leverkusen or West Ham

TOUGH tough draw, we will be big outsiders to get past Leverkusen over two games, most will remember the pre season friendly, where we were shredded, as I previously said they and Liverpool where the ones to be. Avoided, we don't seem to have much luck on the draws, I've watched Leverkusen a few times and they are really good and very determined not much more to add

Agree14 Disagree0

15 Mar 2024 15:02:31
It was a friendly . Completely different to a competitive game . They have Freiburg on Sunday let's see if they deal with them like we did .

15 Mar 2024 18:44:19
They are a seriously good team, what’s in our favour? Well we certainly will be on it from the whistle no relaxing against this side, we must be clinical our chances won’t be many, I will be A very proud Irons fan, if we can get past them…. Some of our supporters think it’s going to be a waltz, it will be far from that Maybe it’s just a name to them, and they haven’t actually watched Leverkusen, all teams are beatable, but we will have our work cut out here, I was hoping in the draw for Benfica, sadly not, I was actually in attendance at the friendly , in Leverkusen, driving around Germany true we have got better with new players, but they were cruising, make of it what you will ,

16 Mar 2024 01:51:37
My fear is if Moyes reverts to type and let's them come onto us in the hope we can score on a charge up field or with a long ball down the middle. This won’t be easy - they are no Freiburg.

16 Mar 2024 22:52:26
I admire your optimism Hammer7580 but LEVERKUSEN ain't FREIBURG and whenever DD is up against a very good team he reverts to low block no possesion trying to get lucky in the last 10 mins, and I just cannot see it I'd rather us go on the front front from the get go and play a high press but he won't so we will see.⚒⚒⚒

15 Mar 2024 12:19:39
Working in London on 18th April. going to have to change flight now to stay on for the evening. Pretty good draw for us I reckon.

Agree15 Disagree0

16 Mar 2024 22:53:02
?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ kib

17 Mar 2024 04:19:12
Pretty good = we would prob lose against Liverpool but with BL there’s a fighting chance. If we fight.

21 Mar 2024 14:38:30
Or VAR going our way for a change perhaps. Let's not forget that element of luck at times either way. Good or bad.

14 Mar 2024 19:54:10
Good performance tonight all round .Kudus was great defending .apart from scoring his goals, let's hope we get a fortunate draw tomorrow,

Agree13 Disagree0

14 Mar 2024 20:21:44
Great result and much better performance. Take nothing away from the team it was well deserved.

14 Mar 2024 21:48:15
I'll call it now. Tomorrows draw, Liverpool v West Ham nailed on! lol

14 Mar 2024 22:06:35
We looked really up for it tonight. This could have been a problem game. Bowen started quick out the blocks, looking to cause them panic early on.
I hope this will give us more confidence going into the Prem games. I know we cannot always place well that's life players have off games. But tonight be an opposition that we should be beating, we did well I was entertained. COYIS

15 Mar 2024 03:41:58
Quarter final draw at 12 noon Fri 15 March 2024 on TNT1. We could play any of
AC Milan
Atalanta
Bayer Leverkusen
Benfica
Liverpool
Marseille
Roma.
All a lot stronger than any team we’ve played so far. ??

15 Mar 2024 08:43:01
Thought we were terrific against Freiburg, don’t buy into they were a poor team, that’s the glass half full merchants, this was a bloody Cup game, they didn’t come to be knocked out, how many FA Cup games have we seen stone blocker so called favourites beaten, we made them look beatable! They had 62% possession as usual but just did feel that way to me!

Terrific up front, Ant buzzing shaking them up as usual, best game for a long time, Kudus, well can we actually fend off clubs in the summer, Paqueta will be gone I think also?
Yes I agree this was about time we saw attacking play and it shows what we’re capable of, so come on Moyes wake up, no ⚒’s fans could have come away disappointed last night, if they did in any way, they should be following Netball or Table Tennis! ⚒⚒⚒⚒COYI

15 Mar 2024 12:14:24
Leverkusen away first leg.

15 Mar 2024 12:18:55
Well, that draw pretty much guarantees Liverpool in the final, they'll absolutely trolly Atalanta and then steamroll either Benfica or Marseille.

Uefa has obviously decided it's time for a Liverpool v Leverkusen or AC Milan final.

14 Mar 2024 16:22:36
Hopefully Jwp the training cone is dropped tonight, want to see front 3 of kudus Antonio and Bowen, with Paqueta in 10 free role.

Zouma and Cresswell down the left side of our defence is seriously worrying, especially considering we should be playing higher up tonight.

Agree13 Disagree0

14 Mar 2024 16:56:24
Kudus, Bowen and Pac with Antonio up top. I'd rather actually Bowen on the left and Paq in the middle but it's Moyes and he does what he likes no matter how wrong it is. Cresswell alongside Zouma is a worry.

14 Mar 2024 19:29:01
Why oh why don't we play like this all the time? That's a ridiculously good goal from Kudus btw.

14 Mar 2024 19:56:39
Cannot understand all the criticism of Cresswell, Soucek or Antonio, we’re bloody W Ham for Christ sake not a top 4 club! Who would have predicted this score line, yes entirely agree why can’t we always play like this??⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒

14 Mar 2024 20:22:20
Anthonio back to his best tonight he didn't fall over once. Thought the side looked more balanced. Shame about thee Alvoraz booking though

14 Mar 2024 23:11:20
@billy, we don't play like this all the time because our manager is David Moyes. It's got to be one of the most frustrating things about him, when we go and attack teams we actually look dangerous but he always reverts back to his default anti football tactics.

15 Mar 2024 05:46:44
Er, Cresswell is now too slow, Soucek is only in the team as a result of the odd goal he pops up to score and his heading ability, and Antonio is supposed to be a centre forward whose main role is to make the net bulge - he doesn’t score. That’s why they attract criticism.

15 Mar 2024 08:17:35
Yeah and you’re the main critic of everything, if you won the Lottery you’d complain you had to buy a ticket to win it???

15 Mar 2024 08:33:20
Having Paqueta and Alvarez in midfield makes up for Souceks lack of ability on the ball and allows him to play to his strengths which is in both boxes and he's not to bad a breaking up play either.

I never want to see jwp and Soucek starting in the same team again.

15 Mar 2024 10:38:21
Chelmsford: “Yeah and you’re the main critic of everything, if you won the Lottery you’d complain you had to buy a ticket to win it”.
So you don’t think Cresswell is now too slow, Soucek is limited as a midfield player, and you believe Antonio’s current goal return is OK? Really?

16 Mar 2024 23:04:00
I see chelms a few wins and your behind the MOYES gravy train FREIBURG have won 1 Bundesliga game this year and they did draw with MUNICH but they need a complete overhaul of that squad as they are dreadful and without KANE they wouldn't have won half the games they have but I don't give 2 hoots about them but we need a new manager to develop our Youth as we have 5 or 6 possible very good players but under MOYES they won't be given their chance and CRESSWELL Scores a goal and in your opinion he's decent you are very limited on your judgement of footballers talent He was washed up 2 years ago and is a liability Soucek has scored a worldie that would never happen again but the reason ALVAEEZ picks up so many cards is he's doing JWP and SOUCEKS job as well as his own but we will see up against the first decent team in Europe so far.⚒⚒⚒

17 Mar 2024 02:10:32
Well said mate. Now, where did I put that lottery ticket?

21 Mar 2024 14:40:11
You entered a Lotto when you signed up as a Hammers' fan. lol

14 Mar 2024 02:27:49
Danny Murphy on Kalvin Phillips' chances of England selection:
"I still think he'll go because we know Gareth [Southgate] has a fondness for him due to what he has done for England previously. Speaking to one or two people who are around that situation, it sounds to me that he'll go either way."
Based on that, Trevor Brooking should expect a call from Southgate because he played quite well for England in his time.

Agree16 Disagree0

14 Mar 2024 05:18:57
And elsewhere…….
West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek insists manager David Moyes has done an “incredible” job at the club, continuing to select and play the Czech international, even when he was playing like sh*t. His comments came during a break when Soucek was hoovering and dusting Mr Moyes’ house.

14 Mar 2024 08:44:08
And to add good news to good news. If David Moyes is still in charge next season, Manchester United believe we will approach them again for players and they are hopeful they can offload Scott McTominay to us!

Personally, we need players for other positions before we add anymore midfielders. Then and only then should we be looking at more midfielders, unless of course PAQUETA goes to Man City and then Midfield overhaul may be needed. Thoughts anybody?

14 Mar 2024 10:46:12
I’m assuming that Murphy was talking in his role as “football pundit” and not in his moonlighting job as Dobby, the fictional character in Harry Potter, although where Murphy is concerned, the dividing line between fact and fiction is often difficult to differentiate. Still, there is the possibility that if Moyes is shown the door after all, he could be replaced by Southgate who may be searching for a new post by then. Daisy is quite right that, with Moyes in charge, the Manchester United retirement home could be a feeder club for West Ham. We live in exciting times.

14 Mar 2024 16:57:01
This aged well Danny! lol. Muppet.

15 Mar 2024 05:53:19
Phillips has been dropped by Southgate, and Ward-Prowse never even got a mention. On the other hand, Kudus is walking on water and Alvarez has become so important for the side. Now tell me who should be in charge of transfers - Moyes or Steidten?

16 Mar 2024 23:06:39
Come on tinny all is great on the waterfront MOYES has turned it around and for me will be the next RAITH ROVERS manager if they would have him.??

21 Mar 2024 14:42:01
What have our poor Scots cousins done to deserve that punishment mate. lol

11 Mar 2024 07:49:24
The performance yesterday just not good enough over 90 minutes but we have to discuss the level of refereeing. The blatant time wasting from James Trafford taking forever with kicks and the continual falling down of Burnley players was appalling. Now. You have to remember this was the same ref who let Bristol City get away with murder in the FA cup replay. The standard of refereeing in this country is at an all time low in my opinion.
