Yes... you can't run with the ball on your left foot if the defender is that side too... there is always the danger he will just stick a foot in and block it away from you, which is what happened.

You know the rest...  

Bowen loses the ball outside their box.

They break.

They score.

Game over. I suspect... we just effectively got ourselves relegated, chaps.  

The best we can hope for at Spuds is a draw... one of those sides starts to get away from us otherwise... I cant see anything other than a WHU loss here at the moment, sadly. We haven't got a handle on the game at all really; we don't look like scoring and Villa won't keep being unlucky in front of ...

Our bench looks fkg unhappy... obviously they see what we see...

We dont have enough 'bite' to get at them - subs needed espesh in the middle there

Yes BUT that was well outside the box... a free kick at best.

Yes, his whole attitude seems to have changed of late...

Fkg hell... were getting ripped to shreds at the moment...

Stupid pass to Bowen... choice of three, chose the most difficult and unlikely.

 

Drop deep, drop deep, hoof it out, lose possession....

Rinse, repeat....

 

Fella's not past it at all, silly talk. As captain, he is almost certainly aware of the financial mess we've gotten into, and the consequences of that for himself and several other key players. The upheaval on his family life will be significant, on top of which, I doubt he actually 'wants' to go an...

Jarrod... I reckon all the fan talk about his abilities as a Captain will have stung him. Having said that, he was not at the races today - he'd be horribly naive if he wasn't sounding out potential destinations for next season by now... has to impact on a player's performance, you'd think.  We need...

Christ! Another reffing fiasco at Burnley... VAR just blew out Burnley's 4th for 'handball'...

TBF, it looked like handball at full speed, but you could see him chest it down in slo-mo...

So glad I'm not ST these days, all these ridiculously biased injustices make me fkg mad.


 

You gotta love the way the ref 'steps up' for them once they're under a little bit of pressure.

The sport as we knew it is fkd. 

greenie1  » 28 Feb 2026 15:32*Season isn’t over, wasn’t expecting us to win this one today.* No, BUT we all hoped they wouldn't just wipe us off the map at walking pace...  I predicted 5 - 1... I might be wrong, because as it's panning out, we don't even look good for the 1.  That's not the worst o...

Same old same old... we look quite useful on the break but we aren't tidy in the final third and we fk up the few chances we create. There's nothing in this for us today, fellas - they are hardly awake yet and they are tearing us apart. 5 -1 is my guess unless a miracle happens... sorry and all that...

If we could somehow get the points today we'd be on our way.

I think it's going to be a case of keeping the score down though... they are barely in gear yet and we are struggling.

Fk sake...

Several Pool players unmarked... could have scored from just about anywhere.

We will get a good hiding today if that is the standard we will be playing to... 

Some of our shooting tonight on numerous occasions has been piss poor.

We've made some cast iron chances and blown most of them over the fkg bar.

Very VERY frustrating.

Stupid sub... taking a man from the very area tgat needs new legs...

 

C'mon you IRONS... we need a third now to sit them back a bit...

Chelsea game plan is to cheat and dive at every opportunity - aided and abetted by the officials.

Clearly, 'somebody' doesn't want us in the Prem...

The very last thing we want to be doing is sitting back and trying to defend our lead.

Our pace and movement going forwards is tearing them up, we must maintain that and we'll be okay.

Somebody needs to lock Nuno in the bogs at HT... 
 

Ere we go, fkg Kilman...

Yes, our possession stats are shite since they scored...

Fck, me that was a bad goal we've just shipped... C'mon West Ham FFS!!
