    Que the usual comments from the manager and players that this game was just an 'accident', if I had a penny for every time we say that.

    That Sakho corner just sums up our dreadful day.

    West ham picked up 3 yellows in the first half and haven't looked back since. Poor does not even describe today's performance by us.

    there's still ten minutes left, Arsenal can still get something out of this game, you have been pretty much camped around our area since the second goal, there's also the possibility we could go top with a third.

    They're dealing with everything with ease. You look very lightweight. I think West Ham having a competitive preseason with EL has helped them hit the ground running though

    That's not a valid excuse. Hardly anyone on the pitch played more than a game in the competition, it was treated as little more than a friendly. You have no Viera, We did the same to United last season, but they had Felleini come off the bench to change the game.

    Disgusted with the team and performance today.

    Anyone on here who thinks we don't some additional firepower, one word for you all: DELUDED.

    Agreed we have looked lightweight and not one person stepped up and took the game by the scruff of the neck. West ham beat us well where it counted. Well done to Bilic and West ham for an outstanding win.

    Not to worry chaps, you had twice as many shots on target as Us. As we all know, that's all that matters.

    It's nothing to do with your firepower, it's your strength in the centre of midfield.

    No team other than Man United has won the league after losing the opening match

    West Ham did very well to be fair to them. I didn't expect that at all.

    Terrible result. 9 wins in a row vs west ham, they had a **** pre-season, we had a good pre-season. A win seemed a safe bet. Not good enough.

    It has to be said I thought Cech could have done better for both goals.

    Disappointed in the result, this is a game we should be winning and if we want to challenge for the title we need to be winning these games. The players need to get there act together.

    Everything about today's performance has been awful except for oxo. They've cut through our defence with ridiculous ease, and dealt with all our attacks in their sleep. Our midfield haven't been able to string together any passages of play while we haven't protected our back 4 at all.

    Girond has been very poor today, but so has Ozil, Ramsey, Kos, Cech
