Onfield decision at the time was Offside, FA then asked Officials if they’d considered the foul at the time, which they said they had. If they’d of said No, FA could of retrospectively charged Pickford with Serious Foul Play.

Apparently Serious Foul Play is the only offence players can be done for retrospectively, but only if Officials have not seen it at the time.🤷‍♂️
Yes but to admit he got it wrong means he did see it but thought it wasn’t a foul.

So he lied to the FA originally or he lied that he got it wrong later in the article.

That’s the problem with changing your mind it always makes you look incompetent or a liar.!

If I hadn't known the Merseyside derby was postponed this weekend, I'd have assumed that Pickford had injured VVD again, given the incessant posts about it today.

We've also had Son on Gomes. Anybody else want to chip in with their grievances about something that happened in the last 10-20 years? :)

Vinnie on Gazza.

I was there....you could hear Gazza squeal (well...maybe not :) )

Yep. Paul Gascoigne should have had a red card in his hand when he was carried off the pitch in the 1991 cup final. :)

Yes. Micheal Carrick. I think one of England's most underrated footballers who imo is the best product of our academy in history. (Yes I rate him higher than j cole, f lampard, b Moore) Anyways whatever moron at our club who let him go to spurs for peanuts but forgot to put in a release clause. This person should have been sacked from football

Sold by them for like 20 million but that moron hadnt included a sell on

No Ill feelings against him either he gave us a season in the championship before he asked to be sold . Always respect him for that

Would you fancy him as your manager? Doing a very good job at Boro despite having to fight upstream every year.

Incidentally, bit of a stretch to claim him as an academy boy. He was still playing for Wallsend Boys until 16. He joined West Ham at 16 but he wasn't a product of your academy.

Would you class John Terry as west ham or Chelsea product?

Our club gets so much wrong. But not today

West Ham United’s players will show their support for teammate Michail Antonio at London Stadium on Monday evening, following his road traffic accident on Saturday.

The Hammers striker underwent surgery on a lower limb fracture on Sunday, and is currently recovering in hospital. He remains in everyone’s thoughts as he continues his rehabilitation.

Everyone at the Club would like to reiterate their heartfelt thanks to the first responders, emergency services, air ambulance staff and the NHS for the incredible support given to Michail in the wake of the accident.

Ahead of Monday’s Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers, which kicks-off at 8pm, the players will warm-up in special ‘Antonio 9’ shirts, as well as walking out in tops adorning the striker’s name.

The Club will auction off the walk-out tops, with each one signed by every member of the squad, including Michail. In addition, every match-worn shirt from the Wolves fixture will also be auctioned, each signed by their respective squad member.

All proceeds raised from the auction will be split between the NHS and Air Ambulances UK Charity, the national charity supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s Air Ambulance charities. All proceeds will also be matched by the Club’s Board.

What is the point of Sky Sports showing Ref Watch? Every time I dip into it, Dermot Gallagher always sides with the match officials. Tonight he was worse than a politician when asked about a potential offside in the Spurs v Chelsea match by avoiding giving a straight answer, even when asked straight out “Offside, yes or no?”

Wasn’t he a product of Wallsend and went to West Ham at the age of 16 ?

Never thought about it or looked into it, before now 🤷.

Looks like he was at West Ham from aged 11-15 so his youth, his formative years was definitely with you. His career is pure Chelsea. How do you view him?

Carrick was developed at Wallsend, his junior years were there. West Ham took him on but at 16 that's beyond academy really, or at the very tail end. I don't deny you would have brought him on but to claim him as an academy developed player is a very big stretch (and the lot at Wallsend would fight you for it 😂)

Same with Kieran Richardson .. west ham until 17 but was always regarded as a United youth player

How much can you put down to a club before 16 really?

Chelsea released declan rice at 16 as a defender

We turned him into one of the best midfielders in the world

It would be like us claiming Elliot an academy product or when someone said Bobb was the next of the Man City production line

You can certainly claim that you developed him as a player, but not via your academy. Wallsend did the nuts and bolts of his development. You did the next stage of his progression, but that's a different claim. Very worthy, but different.

I've seen our team so a few predictions:

We won't take the lead or the game to West Ham to get the crowd on their backs
We'll do the complete opposite and give them a soft goal for some confidence
"Sacked in the morning" chants before the 10th minute from both sets of fans
We'll do as Wolves do and huff and puff but won't blow anything down
2-0 by half time
Big half time team talk about getting the next goal to make a game of it
3-0 47 mins

4-0 full time
Alf Garnet x4
