Marko Arnautovic has issued an immediate apology to Hammers fans after his reckless challenge and sending off at Southampton this afternoon.
The Hammers were forced to battle for an hour with the left winger back in the dressing room and but for a last minute penalty would have saved the game via two goals from Javier Hernandez.
That would have been little consolation to the £24 million signing whose elbow in the neck of Stephens was enough for ref Lee Mason to brandish a red card.
The player can have no complaints about the decision and didn’t attempt to excuse himself in an immediate apology on his instagram account.
He said: “I want to apologise to all the West Ham fans. Just want U to know I dodn’t want to let my team down and U fans. So please sorry. COYIs. A big apology to you all.”
He isnt the first and wont be the last player to do something daft.Such is life
At least he realises he got it wrong. Completely stupid and cost us the game. I think we would have won it with 11.
There were, however, plenty of good signs. Both Antonio and Zaba were quality, Chico is off and running.
When the jewel is back and Carroll becomes super-sub the season will take off.
I’ll try again tippexman ?
Poke you’re apology , let everyone down, childish , 3 games out , now ayew will be employed again ?? Cheers Arnie ! Manic.
You owe us big time ! Get rid of that attitude you play for westham now and its always 12 v 11 / 10 get used to it fast ?
Agree. Should be old an wise enough to control his anger. And Stoke Fans are loving it happened to them all the time. And Jese Rodriguez got his debut goal as his replacement on loan from PSzg to beat Arsenal.
Already down too many players and Marko added himself to list. Doest help and Reid gets injured after signing 6 year deal…. That’s why don’t give 6 year deals to injury prone 29 yos.
But Antonio Rice and Little Pea Fantastic and Obiang on Sub should have started for Noble.
But defence still remains an issue.
And Hart was Rubbish should have saved 1st goal and probably last penalty went way to early. And has to stop punching out when can catch it bad decision making. I think rating of 5 is generous.
Adrian Please!!!!!
