Thank fuck for that! :barscarf:

Those classless wankers shouting out during the minute's silence know what they are.

It was annoying that we didn't immediately target their weakened defence with some long balls after Collins went off injured. Although we kept going down their left and comically fucking up each attack. We are so shit at crossing and shooting. Thank fuck they made the mistake to let Sanchez and Ozil (fucking pay them!) combine yet again to score. We'd be even more fucked without them. Bilic must be tearing his fake hair out.

We had them on the ropes, but our generally crap attacking saved them. It's laughable to hear commentators saying that we 'usually have more cutting edge'. No-one else - not even commentators who are watching us - seems to realize how awful we actually play, with this tedious slow, sideways football with no penetration. This shit is normal for us. Without AS7 and MO11, we'd have seen tons of goal-less draws or defeats this season.

The shitly named 'London Stadium' really doesn't suit being a football ground. It's like a 1980s second-world ground. They should have rebuilt it. Oh well, you get what you pay for :lol:

Early second half was dull. We let them come back into it a bit. Shocking pre-70 substitution for TOF, although predictably Hollywood came on :roll:

Then it went fucking mad in the last 20 minutes! Great play for Sanchez's goal! Wonderful turn, dribble and finish! I hope we can keep him at Arsenal for years to come. If only we had as much character in the rest of the squad. That largely nullified Carroll's impact before he came on. Funny to hear us singing 'We'll never pay here again' :lol:

It was a great finish for the third goal too! That was a major relief! Although typically, we conceded soon after to gift Carroll his comeback goal. Shameful defending there :censored:

Great goal from Chamberlain! It's sad to see him stagnate and lose his way under TOF; the old bastard will probably fine him for daring to shoot in the first place. Great count-attack goal for Sanchez's hat-trick, even if it was off-side. Typical for Hollywood to miss right at the end :lol:

West Ham look fucked :lol:

Alexis is unbelievable when in this sort of form, 3 goals and assist :barscarf:

Ramsey once again negatively effecting the game when he came on, i'll say this for Theo at least he has absolutely no effect on the game, not sure which is worse :wink:

Commentators going on and on about Sanchez being offside as if it were a game-changing decision FFS.

Fletcher even said something like, "That's 13 goals for Sanchez this season, even if the last one was offside". :blah: :blah: :blah:

Their wanking over Andy Carroll for most of the 2HD half was sickening.

And being a Romford Boy myself (you would have to have gone to school there to understand with 1500 odd kids all supporting West ham apart from My brother, My cousin and me) This is always the game that means the most (yup I hate these fuckers than than the scum)

I will have a bloody nice few beers and enjoy Saturday night :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

WOW. That was fucking superb. If ever there was a one-man show on a football pitch, this was it. Yep, Ramsey was that good!!

It wasnt quite as good a hat-trick as Bergkamp's at Leicester but not far behind and better than 99% of hat-tricks you will see in the PL.

Love seeing the empty seats at a ground I despise. Well done Karren Brady. Hope you get relegated you bitch! .

Final ball let us down for 65 minutes but that was the best I have seen us move the ball for a long long time. It's a bit of a myth these days that we play great football but today was the best stuff I have seen us play in a while.

They were completely diabolical but when we did get the ball we moved it very slickly and at great pace rather than slowing it down and then having to play a million sideways passes or try and pick out an impossible pass.

Sanchez is so good. That finish for the last goal was a completely brilliant piss take.

We won't though will we? We'll let the socialist wage structure take over and pretend that Sanogo Lite from La Coruna can step up and take over when he fucks off to an ambitious club willing to pay him what he wants
