Man Utd vs WHUFC -- April 13th, 2019

got a bit too clever there... the intricate passing through the defense ends with Snoddy tripping up over his own feet and giving away a goal kick...

but we're on attack after attack...

we win another corner...

United make a substitution... they're more worried about this than we are... Mata off, Rashford on.

Rashford goes close... Fabianski gets finger tips to it and pushes it across the open goal mouth...

Lanzini is injured... pulled up while running... he's on the ground

He walks off holding his groin...

diangana is putting on a shirt but Lanzini is hanging on the touchline looking like he wants to come back on... but this close to an injury he has to come off...

Rashford is dangerous up front

Diangana is on...

Rashford again... head tennis in the area but he finally puts it over...

half an hour to go...

20 minutes to go...

Rice is tackling like a maniac... Diangana is enjoying running rings around united players...

corner to us... .another corner to us...

Looks like antonio is coming on...


Chicharito heads off to warm applause...

15 minutes to go...

Zabaleta off -- Fredericks on.

holy shit... antonio almost falls over, dances past the Utd defense, rips a fierce shot that cannons off the crossbar...

Anderson's follow up is a weak shot that goes straight into the keeper's hands...

this is still open enough for us to nick it if we get on our toes....

Diangana lobs a cross... antonio charges in for a head into the ground that bounces almost into the top corner before DeGea pulls off a stunning reaction save to flick it past the post...


would have been an awesome goal... now it's just a 'what could have been...

and then Utd get a break out of nowhere...

Fredericks is left with no choice... trialing behind the player he has to bring him down,,,

Yellow card to Fredericks... penalty to Utd.

Pogba slams it in the corner asa the outstretched Fabianski...

this is what people hate about football

completely against the run of play... completely against the entire game...

Utd have the points in their hands...

10 minutes to go...

5 minutes left... another corner to us...

DeGea flaps... head tents... goes nowhere...

Utd player spilling claret down his face... that'll by a few more minutes...

5 extra minutes

and it's done

we get nothing but maybe a little pride back...

time will tell if that's enough

Can't say I'm happy with that performance at the end.
We had a good chance to win, but we are West Ham.

There only one thing that our hero's know how to do and that is to lose.

Awwww Charlie, can't agree with that.  We were the better side and lost only because of dreadful decisions from the officials. Manchester United were crap, and lucky to come out of this game with anything. 

Our first goal was not offside.....end of. First penalty was not and second soft, they know exactly how to play a ref.

I can't wait to see their league position next season, when VAR is in operation.

Sour grapes, bad loser? nope. Sick as a pig? yes. Want to see them suffer? Oh yes .......... Come on Barcelona!!

Seriously....Your not Happy with the effort the whole team put in against United.!?!?!?  

We played all over them for the best part of that game and only lost because of bad decisions from the Officials and no over reasons. That`s probably one of the best team proformances this season it just a shame we couldn`t get what we fully deserved for it.

Really? Clearly we are not happy with the result; but the performance? It was one of the best away performances this season

you know when you're in weird territory when Tony and I agree on anything... but in terms of performance... yes... one of our best this season.
If we'd played consistently all season like we did against United, we'd be comfortably in 7th place - not struggling to hold onto 11th.

It's not like anyone's saying Saturday's performance made us world beaters... we played well, not brilliantly, but we competed and tried and showed effort and commitment, two of the things we've been sorely lacking in this year (and many others)
