Surely that was a save if the season

Fingertips onto the bar

Another big save by Hart.

Don't think Arnie's was a pen, but we've seen them given.

This is stressful

Chelsea really pushing

Hart, Rice, Ogbonna and Zab have been great defensively so far. Going forward Arnie has been fantastic like usual.

We haven't got the legs to get up the pitch...

Hart rightly named MOTM by Sky.

Really poor corner almost allowed them ti break at us

Thankfully they wasted it

Bazshuayi

backs to the wall
edge of seat stuff
all hands to the pump

Thats my three to start it off with

C'mon!!! Hold out!!!

deehammer

Dig in guys!

Yipppeeeee

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Full time!!!

Huge point

Such a good performance given we expected so little

Bazshuayi

Excellent point!

WTG Hart!
Arnie was a total menace and basically everyone put in a great shift ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo

So we are now 6 points off the relegation places. Stoke coming up next and if results go our way we could be 9 points off with 5 games to go.

I still think we're safe already.

Yeoldhammer

Joe hart got us a point

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Great result with the squad as threadbare as it is.

Huttonhammer

Well done boys today.
However you get a point at Chelsea is a good achievement!!

True, but I think the big key is whether or not Hart can remember what made him a very good 'keeper. Have a depressing feeling that he will be a liability in this game.

Grey is one of the very last people to be pessimistic before a game has started, so this comment is, well, errr ;lol

I was reduced to it by his frankly awful form.

Fingers crossed that's the real Joe Hart turning up between now and the end of the season.

(And I was right (well about the key thing... ;biggrin )

Lukerz

Shame we didn’t get the blatant penalty.

But cracking result. Irons.

SuzanneClaret

A great point.

If you're talking about the Kante one, I thought it was a great challenge. But I missed some of the match, so not sure if there was another penalty shout.

Danny Mills was watching a different game: Somehow West Ham have come out of this game with a point. They were really, really poor, there was no fight or passion, and then out of nothing it's a really good finish by Javier Hernandez to get them a draw.

No, the one where Arnie got the ball and Kante took his leg away.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

I mean as far as efforts etc i guess the socreline flatters us

But to say we had no fight is laughable

We are the inferior team, is it such a shock we played in a way that we had to take our chances agaisnt the waves of attacks

Fantastic performance

I personally thought kante got the ball, not going to blame that as im happy wth the point and the performance

MrsGrey

re the penalty. In the replay I saw (that angle) it looks like Kante kicks Arnie's foot out of the way before getting the ball.

At the time, I thought that anywhere else on the pitch that would be a foul.
