WHUFC vs Everton May 13th, 2018

And here we go... last game of the season and it's to pl.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz







Oh I'm kidding... I mean... we should care, right... like the players care... you know... those players that have put in some of the worst performances we've ever seen from teams in claret and blue (even Burnley and Aston Villa)

I mean the Captain was so committed, it was only piss poor refereeing that saved him form being sent off and missing this game as well as the first couple of next season...

fupp me... this season has been awful... there's nothing to write home about... maybe Arnautovic... maybe Rice...

oh god... it's been abysmal... I mean we only escaped a drubbing against ManUre because they couldn't be bothered to beat us... Everton is one of our (many) bogie teams... I mean... Fat Sam against Moyes the merciless... fupp me....

I'll be up at 7am to watch the game...

hope you'll be joining me.

Have the new West Ham shirt on and hope if this is Moyes last game that we do him and the supporters proud and have a good win. I'm glad this season is over and will probably renew my ST.

blimey... a bunch of attacking football from the claret and blue boys...

10 minutes gone... still no score but a couple half chances for Arnautovic...

I hope this is Moyes last game....

Masuaku has done his ankle after being tripped... he can't continue and asks to be subbed...

his replacement will be Fernandes - who is getting tactical advice form Psycho

oooh... after a spell of untroubling Everton pressure... Mario sends a long range shot fizzing along the ground just wide of the post...

well we've had 67% of the possession so far - although I've lost count of how many games the team with the most possession loses these days

Arnautovic is head and shoulders our best player... I hope they bring in a manager and some players who can support him capably.

Saying that... Everton almost proved my possession point valid by sneaking through for an uncontested one on one with Adrian but the keeper makes a great save with his leg... all the result of Ogbonna completely missing a simple header from a long over the top ball to nowhere...

and there it is... get in there...

moments after getting up from treatment for a ban on the noggin... Lanzini runs onto a lost ball from Arnautovic and slots it past the keeper...

39 minutes gone... Lanzini's 4th goal of the season... he should be in double figures at least...

Arnie takes a knock in the groin... Everton step up the pressure... nothing comes of it

Half time... we currently have 42 points and sit in 12th position - and a better GD than -21 could have us in 11th.

We've been relegated on 42 points before now.

Everton much more up for it as the 2nd half clocks in 5 minutes played...

and there he is....

slowly turned the possession around to bring us back into this 2nd half...

Arnautovic gets the ball about 25 yards out, turns a player and rifles a shot into the net past the hands of the flailing keeper - that's teach him for kneeing Arnie in the balls!!!

if West Brom can get a goal to beat Palace... we could end up in 11th position...

which would be a travesty... even 12th is a piss take

unfortunately what either would mean would be that the Board will in all probability give Moyes a contract and the club can then hide behind the misguided notion that the season was pretty good over all.

unfortunately the truth of the matter is that this has been a terrible season for us and the league in general...

44 points gets you an unassailable 10th place... yup 12 points separate 10th and 20th with Huddersfield currently surviving relegation on 37 points...
the gap between 10th and the top of the table... 50 points...

oh well... Palace have taken the lead and an unreachable 44 points... now we just have to hope that Bournemouth don't manage to turn things around at Burnley...

Watford and Brighton look done... so it seems like 12th will be our final position... make of it was you will

and Everton score from the scramble after a corner... smashing the ball home from three yards out...

and of course... Bournemouth then go and score to leap frog us because of our shitty goal difference...

Great goal from Lanzini... looping a shot into the far corner as the goalkeeper can only flap at it and help it on its way... that'll teach him for kneeing Arnie in the balls...

3-1

Everton must be really poor to make us look this comfortable...

2 great reaction saves from Adrian to stop Even getting any consolation from this...

Lanzini gets subbed to a well deserved standing ovation... Obiang replaces him for the final 4 minutes.

Collins comes on for the last three minutes... guess he's ending his career or something from the way comms is talking...

and that's the end of our season.... a 3-1 home win... fortress Olympic Stadium... everything in the garden is rosey...

and just to rub it in... Bournemouth have scored and injury time winner to come from behind...

yes... we're below Bournemouth...

Good win for us and the most relaxed I've felt at a game this year
