Matchday 1

[Donnie Darko]

Waiting for Piers Morgan to explode into a "wenger out" rant in twitter .

 

[The Real JG]

There is always the Cup.

 

[Shade]

Dont think targett is quite up to EPL level yet.

 

[Bardo State]

Calling it early, Payet to be poached by a big club in <1 year

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Terrible defending but I think West Ham will score a heap of set piece goals this season with those Payet's delivery and those big guys

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Here we go..
Great ball by the new guy

 

[Magma]

guess signing a goalkeeper doesnt save you from poor set piece defending. should definitely get a fist to that though.

 

[Zidane98]

West Ham need to play some 19th century football here to keep Arsenal at bay.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Hammers deserve the lead, they have been terrific, wonder if Arsenal players have been drinking their own bath water, really been insipid.

How often does a player leave six months after joining a club?

Shouldn't have come out for the ball. Very difficult to beat a keeper from 10 yards out with a header.

Not based on what Arsenal have dished up in this first 45. Been pretty average.

Cech is worth 15 points apparently.

Next July would be less than a year. That's more what I was going for but didn't want to leave Jan out.

Players who leave after 6 months, it's generally on the club's terms and not the player's so yeah unlikely.

had to react earlier or know his speed. poor either way

 

[kreglze]

Lol... Was always coming.

Both teams have been terrible. West Ham did not look like scoring before the goal.

 

[ossie_21]

Cech poor there.

Good ball in no doubt, but I'd put that down to keeper error. If he doesn't go for something he wasn't odds on to get, that would have been straight at him

 

[Rough_Edges]

Was either of the other goals good in other game.

West Hams strategy working perfect. Banks of 5 and 4 in front of the ball, keeping arsenal out of the box and looking to score on the odd counter and set piece.

I just realised I don't hate West Ham any more. Was kind of happy, must be because ALLADYCE is OUT

Interesting to see what Arsenal can produce

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Bit harsh on the Hammers, think they have played an ugly, but also disciplined game so far.

 

[Flameboy]

Surely they bring Sanchez on here. Half fit or not.

Did you expect West Ham to go to Arsenal and play expansive football?

West Ham sitting deep, Arsenal probing it's exactly what i envisaged.

 

[Benno_900]

It's only halftime.

Usually takes conceding a goal for this team to start playing.

 

[windyhill]

How about raising the eyes Ramsay ?

West Ham have not defended that well. Arsenal are pretty toothless without Alexis.
