West Ham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

the ref is a cheat, plain and simple, there's fuck all unbiased about this performance.

Last minute booking vs Norwich, ayew then misses 6pointer vs Sunderland
A deliberate and needless sending off 2nite ensuring a3-5 game ban.
I wonder what the odds are that ayew has a release clause in his contract and will activate it should
Relegation happen as seems likely. I wouldn't bet against it!

Never a free kick.   I missed the 1st half.  WHat was Ayew sent off for?

Assault and battery

[mrfuse]

Not sure about the penalty, his back was turned, maybe that was how he had to jump on the run, etc. No doubt about the red card though, perhaps the most stupid and most obvious sending off this season.

Yep I agree with this comment.
Handballs are getting ridiculous the ruling has to err on the side of being deliberate. People don't jump or throw themselves in the way without arms flailing all over the place.

Being a dick.

[django]

Jesus we can't even get the throw ins we deserve.

[Proposition Joe]

I'd get Grealish on for Gil.

And Trev on for Gabby.  Has he even touched the ball this game?

[jwarry]

You can tell the team feel hard done by here, good to see this spirit

[Smirker]

If scores stay the same we are a point closer to safety. Just trying to be positive.

If we can nick a goal late on 

[andyh]

This ref needs fucking shooting

Are you watching the game

[CJ]

Oh fuck off ref - you're just taking the piss now

nonsense, his arm was almost straight out behind him right where the ball was clearly going, it's 100% deliberate and that's clear.

Cresswell pinched the skin of on the back of Ayew who then threw an elbow into his face.

Im convinced we wont concede tonight. Just convert the one chance we might get and its three points
