Why oh why do we always reserve our two worst performances of the season for the West Ham matches? I still can reach a conclusion as to whether we are just bad or they have worked out the system to nullify our possession based game.

They're so desperate to be relevant. They can tell themselves that the cost us the league but the fact is it's not even over yet! Dumb fucks.
IF Chelsea finish just 3 points clear at the end they might have a case. They're to fucking thick to do the math tho.
Not going to batter myself with yesterday's loss or analysis that always knows best in hindsight.
The top 6 teams always have the onus on them to take the game to their opponent. Invariably that is easier at home than away but no less difficult at times.
We have been nothing but superb at being able to find the answer this season but I think that hides the lack of that super individual talent of that highest group. The likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Hazard et al.
West Han got their tactics right because they won. 8 times out of 10 they get the very same tactics wrong because they lose.

We never bottled it .
We were the only team who got in touching distance while everyone else failed .This wasn't our worst performance, that was away to Liverpool and Manure .
The Cockney cowboys are an irrelevance to me , They have a shit team , shit ground and shit owners .
I am proud of this team as they were magnificent at times , way above what was expected of them .

Roll on the summer when the media can pretend the last 2 seasons haven't happened and Liverpool and Utd are title contenders again.
Makes me so fucking angry.
I guess to slate them would be to draw attention to the fact their predictions (that they get paid for) were embarrassingly off mark yet again.

Really annoying to lose like that to a team like in a stadium like that and sat amongst fans like that. Was amongst home fans. Remind me next time how awful an experience it is and refuse the offer of the ticket. I was very close to the front of the upper stand, but was still MILES away.
They did to us what I've seen us do to several "better" teams at the Lane over the years. Any team can beat any other team, this isnt SPL or Spain. I've seen us turnover Liverpool in their prime when Venables was in last chance saloon. I've seen some (terrible) 1-0's over the scum when player for player we were shite in comparison. Shit happens. It happened to those teams on those days and last night it happened to us.
I didnt see it happening, thought we'd win 2-0 and see out the game well. Ifs and ands. 4 great saves to deny us in the first half. Any of those go in, I really think it's game over and we pick them off on the break with Son's pace. On 55 mins, we'd been turning the screw. another 2 great chances, getting closer. So often we get a goal on about 60 and then win comfortably. Hey, they score next and the place goes wild. Very diificult to get back from that. We did it Swansea in incredible fashion. We beat a feisty Palace on their patch in the middle of a great run for them. Last night, a few things didnt go our way, like I said, shite happens. Would have been nice to have played them midday kickoff. Could have done with a ref who stamped on the bear pit atmosphere fouling. I thought that Walker got the ball first for his yellow, and I thought Noble was a 2 footer so automatic red. But we know that ref is a shocker.
We've had a great season and one crappy night last night.
Theyve had a crappy season and one good night.
If that's enough for them to think theyve got it nailed, then theyre delusional, but thats their problem.
Big performance v Manure next week and a good win, all this gets forgotten by the poxy meeja and they go onto the next item of fake news.
Hope all got back safely. I went in and out of Hackney Wick, which was OK. Back home in 7oaks 11.45.
Finally, was I the only one freezing last night? There must be huge gaps in the "building". Bloody wind howling around where I was. Awful, awful stadium. It will be the death of that club. Ceratinly will be now, as I'm hacked off with them to the extent of putting my infamous gypsy curse on them. They'll be well and truly spiked from now on, no shit.

How i see it mate, yesterday we were 2nd and going to finish in 2nd..
Today were are 2nd and going to finish 2nd..
They have cost us fuck all, Chelsea on the other hand have cost us the league because they will finish 1st, how can a team in the lower half of the league and the best part of 40pts behind us say they cost us anything?
Plus we beat them this season as well..
I suppose you have to feel for them a bit, they are not the brightest and have very little to crow about so a league match is their everything..
If anybody thinks we've "bottled the title this season" they're absolutely mental. Just like last season people are itching to label us bottlers, when in reality we were never in a position of power. People had us finishing outside the top 4 before the season started, we've had an incredible season
If any team bottled it this season it was Citeh. They won their first god knows how many matches until they played us. People were talking about Pep first season going unbeaten!
Last season it was Goons. They were top of the table December/January; they took 6 points off Leicester (in effect a 12 pointer) and they STILL ended up miles behind them.

Yes and yes...there was hope but unfortunately, hope doesn't win you the PL. Chelsea was never going to slip up. We mustn't allow the scum around us to bring us down to their level. Lets cement 2nd spot and show everyone that we mean business for next season. I believe we will learn form this as from last season. We've improved and can only get better. COYS
They can buy five 30 million players and can afford a couple to be shit in 1 transfer window, or a couple of 60 million players .
Throw enough dodgy dosh you're get it right most of the time .
We are world's apart financially.
If we were spending £90M more than Woolwich a year on wages would you not expect to finish above them? Never mind how much more the rest spend.
At the start of the season our aim was to finish 4th..
We have all but finished 2nd.. perhaps someone could explain to me how we've bottled it?

Mind the gap pal.
You'll always be worse off than us, so that's a comfort.
We are 35pts ahead of you.l we have CL football, you have a joke stadium..
One league match won't change any of that..
what makes me laugh is that you find the time in your life to make an account on another clubs fan forum..
