I was going to post some amusing West Ham fan crying videos from Youtube, but all the suggested **** connected is lunatic filth.
Oswald Mosely, England/London Has Fallen, GB News, Katie Hopkins... dumb ****s.

On another note - i was very surprised by the huge Spurs Bias in the TNT sport pundits today, Glenn, Crouchy and Sir Les, very unusual particularly when you consider that Joe Cole and Rio are usually involved.
 
This is probably going to sound a bit funny given the result and performance, but I think West Ham aren't far off a good squad.
The back four were very solid in the first half, Rodriguez and Soucek covered them well and Kudus and Bowen were very dangerous on the break.
They also had some very decent options off the bench in Soler, Summerville and Alvarez, the last of which probably should've started.

Their problem, in my opinion, is a lack of quality in goal and up top, which is pretty substantial admittedly.
A top striker and a good prospect for depth, plus a keeper with good distribution and they'd be a threat.
Paqueta's clearly gone though, so I've no idea why they're playing him. Antonio's legs are, too.

Very happy with the result and I was surprised with the Maddison change, but it worked wonders.
Sarr balanced the side out and they basically stopped being an attacking threat, even on the break.
Wonderful ball for Son's goal, too. Beautifully weighted.

I’d be very surprised if they can keep Kudos beyond this season though, strikes me as player who could fit in at City. He was tearing us to pieces at times today, especially first half. It was basically the Kudos and Kulusevski show for that first 45. Kulu kept it up for most of the game though, Sarr’s introduction as said helped nullify a lot of Kudos’ influence - thankfully!

I thought Bowen was their best player in the first half. Turned Udogie inside out at times. No idea why he's still there.
Man Utd bought Antony, instead.

He’s knobbing Danny Dyer’s daughter. Probably been promised a role in Dyer’s next ****ty film to keep him at the club… though that should act as a deterrent I suppose.

Danny Dyer's next film? His last one was about a decade ago! <laugh> **** Ray Winstone.

Great result, not sure we played as well as the score the suggests

A lot of the usual gripes are still there.

There is still too much slow slow sideways slow
passing at the busparquet fringes (which IMHO is
the big issue in attack) .

Similarly the slowness/inability to get into a sound
defensive shape in the final third once losing possession,

One thing I was pleased about was at 0-1, there was some
persistent intricate passing attempts thru the busparquet wall
that actually worked. I hope this is coming via training
sessions (although I would prefer the passing speed to be sorted) .


"but very happy and actually looking forward to work on Monday."

Rentokil on weekend rates cannot be cheap. :(
