Henderson losing the plot 😂😂
urgh, i hate winning money from spurs scoring goals, i feel a bit dirty haha
😟😡
I make Jose right about Pogba though.. posting on Instagram during the game was inappropriate and unprofessionalWith Jose he loves the publicity, he encourages it, so I'm not sure he is able to play the hard done to role even when it's true. I get that he may and probably did put an arm around Jones in the dressing room but that goes out of the window when you dump on him in public.
I also read the Lampard quotes about him. They were very personal and positive, not just the usual stuff that is churned out.
That Sturridge miss was on his right peg so of course he missed. His right leg might as well be made of wood, he only needs it for standing on.
Lgonna be some happy hammers about tonight
and possibly some not so happy yiddo’s.
Maybe West Ham have found the level of football they can compete at 😜🤪😂
Offside is a minefield.Interesting reading (well for me anyways) on the VAR decision from last nights game re the chelsea first goal.
The ball was crossed in, headed, saved and then poked in from the rebound.... goal reviewed by VAR as per normal procedures and then awarded by the officials. Below is a copy of the VAR image that was reviewed.
On initial view there are 2 players very clearly in an offisde position that arguably interfering (or not as you deem it) with play..... but the one who gets the header is Barkley who also looks offside, but it was argued that Firminos hand was playing him onside. A guy I work with said he thought you couldn't be played onside by a body part that isn't legal use to play the ball.... so I thought I'd look into it and sure enough:
Offside position
It is not an offence to be in an offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
A player is not in an offside position if level with the:
- any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
- any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
- The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered.
- second-last opponent or
- last two opponents
So my question is, how can a VAR team of professionally qualified people get it wrong. VAR is supposed to correctly deal with these situations and leave no room for error.

Am happy to be put right if anyone thinks I've missed the point/lost the plot.

Ah yes, but Jorginho got the new Premier league number of passes, so he's worth every penny. In that storming 0-0 draw.It shooldnt have even got that far - it was never a free kick , is Moses still rolling around
The players didn’t help themselves last night , poor dive front Keita - why the ref didn’t card him I’ll never know , then so many silly yellow cards and players making a meal of things. And whilst it would have been harsh and it was a slight touch there was a handball by Fabregas which would have been seen by VAR
I also have no idea how Fabregas doesn’t start more often - prob played more threatening balls in 45 mins last night than Jorginho has all season
