12/30 - 1/1 Weekend Game Thread

West Ham losing to West Brom
Only positives of this season
1. After we go down Moyes likely never works again
2. Maybe our owners are forced to sell the club

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Looked to be a pretty clear second yellow on Sanchez not given

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Wow - Carroll looks to have sealed the three points for WHU

 

[Cellar-Door]

Hahaha hahaha Andy Carroll was an absolute Donkey, worst player on the pitch for 93 of his 95 minutes. In the other 2 he scored goals

Watched the West Ham match. West Brom shot themselves in the foot, they had chances to go for the win, but lacked quality and ambition. I hate seeing a team pass the ball back to the goalie when they're not far outside the 18 years box and there's just few minutes to go. Yeah, go for the point, see where that gets you. Match was like a pub game for long spells. West Brom just don't have many goals in the team. West Ham, on the other hand do. They need to get their own stadium.

Palace lost 2 players for the season today, Puncheon and Dann

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Arsenal outplaying Chelsea through the first 25 minutes or so at the Emirates. Have had probably 3 solid opportunities including an Alexis shot saved by Courtois that hit both goal posts. Hopefully they can get one in and not make a stupid defensive mistake to surrender any points.

 

[CPT Neuron]

Not sure that's a penalty there....and they're level

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Another bullshit PK after Arsenal gains the lead ties it up 1-1.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Bellerin with a fantastic extra time goal.

 

[swiftaw]

Morata had 3 one on ones with Cech and converted none of them.

The last one he just didn't fancy at all. he could go left right, or over the keeper - and he rifles it at the keeper. Wenger getting interviewed now saying the Hazard penalty was a terrible decision. Ref had a fine view of it. Wilshere was lucky to be on the pitch, so you could say it evened out.

 

[CPT Neuron]

As someone with no rooting interest for either team, it was an incredible game to watch. Would have liked to see a non call on the penalty kick, but I can understand why.

Can it be simulation when there is actual contact? The defender against Wilshere definitely lunged and put himself in the position to commit a foul. Wilshere made sure the contact happened, but it wasn't like there was a clear path.

Edit: Arsene also said the PK decision was 'farcical'.. can't imagine that he doesn't get some sort of ban for this and his other comments.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Tottenham/West Ham could get real ugly 9 yes NINE players unavailable due to injury for West Ham, and Carroll on the bench would likely have been left out with a minor injury but we literally did not have anyone else registered for the last bench spot. Bench is Hart Ayew and a bunch of youth team players.

 

[coremiller]

West Ham are playing 5-4-1 and not even trying to attack. The are sitting very deep, double-marking Kane, clogging up the middle, and hoping Spurs can't finish and they can get out with a 0-0. Possession is 73-27, shots are 12-0, shots on target are 3-0. Yawn.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Yep. The entire offense is Chicharito making dangerous runs behind the defense while his midfield sprays awful passes nowhere near him. We need a new CM so so badly

 

[cromulence]

WOW. That was unexpected.

 

[swiftaw]

What a shot.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Muahahahahahahahahaha
Efficiency 1shot 1 goal

 

[coremiller]

Of course that happens.

That was West Ham's first shot of the match. Not their first shot on goal, their first shot.

Shots are now 20-1.

 

[Kliq]

Fucking hell that was brilliant from Obiang.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Seriously that was a rocket.

Spurs have had all the possession and many shitty shots. I'd say maybe 3 or 4 tops that were real chances.

 

[caseumsd]

Sissoko just needs to not play another minute in a Spurs uniform. He literally offers nothing. 13 minutes left to try and grab a point, this will be a huge blow to their champions league chances next season if they can’t get at least something from today’s game

 

[Cellar-Door]

Oh man, great chance for 2-0 and Kouyate fluffed it

 

[cromulence]

Unreal.

 

[caseumsd]

SON!!!!!!

 

[cromulence]

This game was so hideous for so long, and then two of the best goals of the season in fifteen minutes.

 

[Kliq]

Two great howlers today.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Damn Tottenham's best player equalizes

He’s such a bum. It’s unfortunate they have to rely on him.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I'll take a draw any day given the situation.

I hate that Son is a Spur, he's amazing. Without him no way they break down the defense today, basically every real chance came from him in one way or another.

 

[thehitcat]

Best possible set of results over the last two days for Liverpool and Man United? Other than the remote possibility going into today of Tottenham losing outright, Klopp and Mourinho have to be happy that all of the teams right around them used up their games in hand and only got solitary points.
