    I was going to moan about Mr Moss but I think in the end he didn't hinder our victory.

    Last four games scored 9 conceded 0, the diamond is working well.

    And he was excellent. No reason at all to moan at him.

    Yeah. But Palace were awful when we played them. Sparta Praha were pretty poor too, and Swansea. I'm seeing a pattern here...

    Not even mad about the finishing today. It could have been better, but I'd say today it was more that Adrian made a couple of sharp saves than that anyone missed a sitter.

    And that, Trixter, is how you win away.

    I guess without his finish, the second half doesn't become anywhere near as open (for us to take advantage of!) as it did. But yes, you're completely correct.

    "The team was wrong from the start.

    The full backs are awful.
    There's no holding midfield.
    The striker is terrible.
    There's a lack of effort defensively from Kouyate.
    Noble looks likes he's running in treacle.
    The subs bench is a joke."

    Very solid performance in the end - I think the negativity of WHU when they didn't have the ball made it hard work for us - it was like they were the away team. After the goal - we took control but for the short period after the second goal - and we could have scored many more but some poor options at critical moments.

    Best performance from a referee I can remember since probably the last time he referred West Ham (vs Leicester at the back end of last season).

    Straight on the bus for Forster. He won't even need a shower.

    I thought that Adrian tipped that shot rather than Hojbjerg shooting it a million miles wide. That was pretty much the only call I thought the crew got wrong. Booking Zaza for diving at the time they did was a key call and a the correct one.

    The are arguing over the Bertrand handball on NBC. Pretty much the same arguments as to what constitutes ball to hand. One guy arguing if your hand is out at all, it's handball. Other guy saying his hands were not moving towards the ball and not in unnatural position and could not have pulled them out of the way.

    I went with Bertrand, but actually you're probably right. Can we let them sure it? :)

    VVD absolutely brilliant today, probably Romeu's best game too. Excellent all round.

    They having a bad run of injuries and no luck at the moment, it happens to the best teams too.
