*** city v west ham *** offical match thread

[Indianablue]

ALVAREZ has to stay on. He can unlock this defence

[PeterParker]

GEEET THE FUCK IN GULLIT!!!!

[nottsblue]

Ruud Gullit with the breakthrough

[mr_nool]

Get the fuck in Ake!!!?

[Harry Dowd scored]

Get in Nathan lad

[CTID Hants]

Love Ake

[KinkyKinkladze]

Haha Mahrez assist. All of us can get to fuck.

[nottsblue]

Love Ake

Have we finally found our left back?

[PeterParker]

51 minutes in and gotta ask: is Stonesy playing in Kevin's role?

[Blue Jam]

Love Ake!

That was shit from Jack though

[Outcast]

Second goal?

[nottsblue]

Poor choice there from Jackie. Instead of shooting the better play was to pass to Alvarez who was in a lot of space just to his right. I think sometimes he’s too keen to score and tries to force the issue when there are better options

[carl_feedthegoat]

Haaland has been woeful - watch him score before the final whistle .

By the way - Mahrez assist to ake so just as well he stayed on .

[nottsblue]

Second goal?

We look far more focused and sharp and on it this half. Assume Pep just asked at half time if they wanted to win the fucking league or not

[mr_nool]

That's 100% a penalty on Haaland. He took out the player before he touched the ball.

A lot of noise in the media how west ham have been fooked by pigmol and decisions right before our game funny that

[Indianablue]

2 good penalty shouts waved off . Both were good shouts

[nottsblue]

Wonder if Moyes’s moan about VAR over the last couple of games has influenced the decisions there

Commentators seem hellbent on this “touched the ball” nonsense. There’s no rule at all to say “as long as you get the ball you can do what you want” - they’re absolute morons.
