The Irons were twice cheated – once from a free kick deliberately taken from the wrong spot and at the end when Michail Antonio brought Ruben Loftus-Cheek down with replays showing contact was outside the area.
Wrong…out of order and bang disappointing – add it all to the foul on Darren Randolph last weekend which denied us a a win at Old Trafford and the sense of injustice become intensely overwhelming.
We were the better team, had players who totally bamboozled Chelsea but in the end were beaten by to set pices from far too much to say for himself Fabregas.
The Hammers were quite outstanding in he first half when Payet and Lanzini totally ran the show and with Sakho leading the line Chelsea had no answer to the pace, style, invention and class.
Lanzini lashed home an opener in 17 minutes after great work from Payet and headers from Sakho and Kouyate but the cheating Fabregas pulled one back in first half injury time.
Reid had blocked off Oscar bit with the bal too close to the box to get up and down, the former Gooner pulled the ball back two yards and lashed home.
Unfazed, the Hammers again took the lead with two minutes of Andy Carroll’s appearance as sub for Sakho when he was put through by Payet to ram home with ease.
Fabregas headed over and saw another overhead shot go the same way as the game boiled up by Carroll could have clinched things when he saw an effort cleared off the line by Traore and just failed to reach an Emenike cross.
The it had to be Fabregas making things level with the penalty that never was – makes yer sick it was awarded and double sick it was him.
But it’s four points off them this season and we sit on 50 points in fifth place.
Stitched up big time.I’m normally pretty philosophical about our results but I’m proper p#ssed off tonight.On the positive side Norwich winning will have made Hippoheads asshole fire out a few worry beads 😀
Still shaking with rage !!! The ref might as well pulled on a blue shirt ! Disgraceful decisions the whole game , Cahill and terry constantly fouled sakho ,Valencia and carol but we never received a free kick. The cheating performance at the death with payets free kick was all about getting it moved further from goal , someone should have given fabregas a dig , slimey spic , he even got Adrian booked ? After the penalty , ####%#%%##£££#%%#%£#%%#%%#%%#£££#&#%#%&&%#£### cheating c##t,
I watch the Everton and arsenal game on TV ? Clattenbourg was even worse than the pr#ck we had today , I truly believe he is a Everton fan !! Total crap ,
Feel absolutely gutted ! Can’t settle , gonna have a beer , fu##1ng fuming .
You didn’t agree with penalty then?? 😀
££#%%#£#%#&**#&#%#&%#%&#& sort of ?
I thought hid ink was alright until 2 minutes ago , he said it was a pen , it was on the line . Martinezish !! Total bullsh1tt3r!.
I am so glad I am not the only one,it’s put me off my beer ( not for long )
When are the FA going to do something about these second class officials,
But again Entertainment for everyone,we went away from home against the champions
Did not park the bus or play Victorian football and made them look second best,
Not all bad Sunderland back where there tactics deserve to be
We need a good result tomorrow s draw would be nice
Video reviews are on the way I think bubs , these ****s must be reigned in from influencing games . Or should I say the truth and call them bias cheats who cannot be touched .
Its possible for us to achieve 18 points from 18 , we were great today and had them crapping themselves , the only way they were going to win was through cheating ,
I even predicted the pen to my old women !!! I could smell it !!
l agree we were hard done by. But those were 2 completely needless and avoidable fouls we conceded. Dont understand why Reid couldnt just head the ball away and why he had to impede a player who was already losing possession ( and l just know the knives would have been out already if that had been Ginge).
Valencia and Sakho were great together again. l think that for us to be genuine top 4 contenders next season we need:
1. a genuine high class right back (Jury still out on Byram)
2. a quality centre half (to play alongside Ogbonna)
3. a real defensive midfielder (to play alongside Kouyate)
4. a 20 goal per season striker.
Bobby Madley today was, quite simply, one of the most inept refereeing performances I’ve ever seen. Makes Anthony Taylor look like Pierluigi Collina!
Watching Swansea vs Aston Villa and Mike Dean has obviously decided to ignore the laws of the game given some the majority of his decisions!
Still the Premier League will do nothing, they don’t want the so called big clubs slipping down the league do they…
Fu.k Chelski! It wasn’t penalty, in my opinion Loftus-Cheek tripped himslef.
But Manure and Chelski are top teams, they can’t lose so they need a little help from the referee…
He did trip himself Matte,outside the box as well.Shocking refereeing.Mind you when you have players cheating them into getting decisions then those cheats are as much to blame if not more.Scummy cheating Chelski tw#t 😉
Just In.
We were bloody fantastic. We took the game to them and we could and should have won easily. Bilic just keeps getting the job done.
BUT we not only did that v the champions but we did it versus a clearly paid off bent c*** of a referee. In other words we were were f-ing cheated and robbed.
I now do firmly believe that video replays should be introduced. Imho I would allow each team to have 1 challenge each half. If they win their challenge, they keep it, lose it and no more for that half.
To much money in the game and bent refs for it to carry on the way it is now.
Like to think theRef will watch the replay and be embarassed but probably be too busy counting his bung money. Incompetence or cheating, either case he’s a fu###ng disgrace. Hang your head in shame.
What’s the odds for him , dean , or clatterberg Reffing the manc game in cup ??
I have a feeling that there’s more controversy to come ?
Stick any ref on a pitch these days & there is more controversy to come.They are all a bunch of Pr*cks!!!
With football played at such a pace the officials are often going to get decisions wrong
however the game is a business now and I think video technology must be applied to
instances in the area to make sure decisions are correct. In West Hams case they could
potentially lose the replay in the FA Cup and lose out on a Champions League place due
to blatant referee blunders.
Even more diabolical decisions at the manc,s derby !! Sampling should have gone with another yellow and a blatant foul by demicheles for a penalty goes begging !! Antony Taylor ?? .
Its becoming epidemic !! Corners have turned into WWF and nothing is being done about it . WOT T F is going on .its getting Ott in a big way !!! We need to start a petition about the state of Reffing and serve it on the FA and tell them to sort it out ? The game is definitely going in the wrong direction , IMO all big decisions need to be judged like rugby , purely because the referee standards have deteriorated to such an extent that its affecting the sport .
