West Ham 2 - 1 Aston Villa Post Match

[RichardBatchelor]

Is it really the case that our players were rolling on the floor/time wasting/cheating from the off? It's all I'm seeing in comments from West Ham fans on twitter.

I can't say I really noticed due to the drabness of our general play, which in turn led to me losing focus on the game itself.

We were far too passive, and subs were far too delayed.

I agree with the West Ham fans on this, sorry to say. Some of the injuries - thinking Doug’s and Cash’s - were clearly genuine but others were exaggerated.

I must admit it tickles me ever so slightly when people sat around me at VP moan about the opposition time wasting. Have they not watched us playing away lately?

On the flip side though, West Ham fans booing genuinely injured players was equally embarrassing. Aw well, happens everywhere, I guess.

I’ve just watched the highlights again and Yarmalenko’s goal over and above of the emotional aspects of it was one of the best goals I’ve seen this season. Pure class

Amused that Moyes is warning Spam not to fall for any Spanish "dark arts" v Sevilla tonight after a game in which Douglas and Luiz needed stitches for facial injuries.

This is what he said:

"If you watched Atletico, they did a great job on Manchester United I'm killing the games off at times, so we have to be well aware how we manage that. I a fan of the dark arts? I'm not. This is a gentleman's sport. We're all desperate to win and we'd kick your granny, if you know what I mean, yo get a result. But in the same breath, you want to win in a fair and correct fashion."

Happy to call out the "dark arts" but not to keen to do so when it comes to straightforward dangerous and foul play.

Yeah...isn't a David Moyes side just the British version of a Diego Simeone one?

Any respect I had for Moyes (minimal),was lost to the wind with his stance on Zouma.

I quite like Moyes for the way he's come back strongly after it looked like he might be finished but the response to ZoumaGate was poor stuff from him.
