What a rollercoaster of a game, I should sue West Ham for taking months/years off my lifespan, sometimes I wish i hated football & had no team to support. but games like today, whether it'll catch up on me 1 day, I'll take it all day long.... Anderson, well played.....& Diang, never gives up and really enjoy watching him play..
;ok Needs to bulk up a bit, but has indeed done very well.
It was interesting that very early on, he was dribbling down the touchline and running into trouble - did it a couple of times. And I am sure I saw (lipread) Pellegrini come to the touchline and tell him/gesture 'one-two pass, don't dribble.' Anybody else notice that?
That was great, horrible, great, horrible, great and then great.
I stand by what I said that I think we struggle to create much with Arnie right up top, mostly because he comes so deep to get the ball and then we have nobody in attacking position.
When he came deeper and Hernandez was up front, we looked a different proposition.
Hernadez’ finish hopefully shows he’s still for a lot offer. He is lethal when he’s hungry enough.
Diangana was outstanding, both dribbling and passing. What’s really impressive about him, though, is that he looks for something simple most of the time. He picks his moments to try some magic, but the rest of the time plays the simple pass to a team-mate.
Special shout to Anderson as well. That, finally, looked like a £40M player.

Ogbonna on for Arnie.
Can breath at last, Anderson to Antonio who chests it to Hernandez who slots nicely
;scarf ;wahoo coyi
Think Anderson may have found his mojo, so fair play to Pelle for keeping the faith.
Not a game for the faint hearted, but a much needed and well deserved 3 points
There may be a cold Mythos or several in my near future.
You're welcome.
;doh

Big result this. Decent run of fixtures (City aside) so hopefully this is the start of a good run.
