West Ham v City

handball???

better from W Ham, there

Fegouli's crosses not good enough.

you'de think pep would say to john stones,f**k off you`re not bobby moore or franco baresi,so stop f****g about and start trying to be a proper defender

City

Poor price

good challenge

what is the point of watching this pishhhhhhhhhhh

penalty Manchester City

soft pen

soft pen

if this is a draw after 90 mins, is it a replay?

Bull$hit of a pen.

not a pen

jesus feckin Christ,how is that a penalty

city player fouled the west ham player imo.

0-1 Manchester City, Yaya Toure.

he will miss

if the ref plays by the book,then there should be another 5 penalties tonight

is it a replay if a draw after 90 minutes?

Obimang did not change direction or tackle.

what a huge miss Feghouli!

cracking pen

Feghouli useless.

Why not Sergio taking the pen

How much is he being paid to miss from there

cos he misses

go on Slav, batter him............

v soft pen
toure ain't much good 4 anything
but he ain't bad at pens

0-2 Manchester City, Raheem Sterling

own goal*

Defender scored own goal

lol,great defending

someone should've cut that out

Absolutely class move

got to get payet on, terrible corners and free kicks so far from west hame

poor defending there
he should've let stirling try and score
wouldn't have nap

0-3, David Silva

omg

0-3 too late for payet now!

comedy of errors

guardiola's still mgr till the next game

the hammers all over the shop

west ham seemed to just lose interest after the idiotic penalty decision.to be honest watching football with no replay technology is becoming less an less attractive.

not as if they're even playing a decent team

starting to look like that arsenal game

gash game,gash fookin cup,nighttttttttttttty

won't be 3-3 FT
that's for f*cking sure

video technology isn't the answer,apart from goal line replays,if you watch any amount of rugby you`ll see why,decisions for everything and they still get it wrong after deliberating for 5 minutes

*thats the arsenal/west ham game that finished 5-1 to arsenal

teams should get 2 reviews each therefore teams will only review if they feel confident they have suffered a poor decision.its been obvious for somewhere  we have the worst officials i the world and cannot cope without reviews.

Ok it was a soft penalty but West ham totally outclassed

Ok it was a soft penalty but West ham totally outclassed

At 1.02 City worth a lay

1.01        £270,462
1.02        £176,125

video ref would stay with the on field decision imo

That skin growing over Shearer's eyelid gives him a slightly Blofeld quality - respect

not particularly this game, 50 % of games the losing g side get ahyte decsions.its game after game after game.will multi multi millions  in the premiership video technology wouldn't cost one hundredth of one percent to provide.

I see Lampard has joined the gravy train

linekars  sp[ot on, although  feghouli missed a sitter there was contact and it was as much of a penalty as the city one.

brooking had a few wines

Brooking sounds like the old drunk guy from "The Fast Show".

they've just mentioned the great colin bell , 10pts for anyone who can remember his nickname, only oldies like me will know

nijinsky

0-4, Aguero.

do I get 10 points

new rule, ageuro is allowed  to control the ball with his hand and go on to win a corner.

wp sandsave

'Ding-Dong' - 'Avon calling'

The King of the Kippax....

west ham just woeful

anybody backing west ham at 1000/1 ?

That's the difference between Maradona and Aguerro: Maradona could control the ball as if he was using his hand. Aguerro actually has to use his hand.

maradona didnt sit the the argentine bench too often either

it was insane everyone at the ground saw apart  from the officials, ok the games long gone but how bout if it was nil nil when he handled it.

des, i vaguely remember maradona  being more than handy  when  using his hand in the box

yes, SOLW, I thought somebody would mention that.

once upon a time you sort of expected the home team to get  the best of the refs decisions  nowadays its just the big clubs get the decisions over the smaller ones.

seems that way, often.

At least it's not just Man Utd getting them all, as it was in the 90's.

if refereeing doesn't improve i can imagine a situation arising similar to when rattan  took the argentine team off the pitch  when he felt the ref was biased.it will be a sad day if that happens.

I don`t think the officials are corrupt,just badly incompetent and because they ar`nt held to account they can get away with being as bad week after week

I remember in Cup tie in the early 90's, Steve Bruce wrestling a Southampton player to the ground, sitting on top of him and then successfully haranging the ref into giving him the free kick.

i don't think they are crooked  just inept, just backed the sending g off here as i can see a frustrated hammer doing something rash here.

ogbonna or noble could be candidates.

0-5 City.

John Stones.

after some blindingly obvious bent deal to steal a new ground at taxpayers expense,it would be justice if west ham were relegated and their athletic stadium had to host matches in the championship,they`re unlikely to go down but we can hope

think they're too good for that. at the start of the season I tipped Sunderland, Burnley & Stoke for relegation. but it's looking far more likely to be Sunderland, Hull & Watford. any other opinions?

but the new stadium has no doubt set them back. they were a top 8 team last season. can't remember their exact finishing position right now.

Interesting no yellow cards very unusual that for a big cup tie

Swansea,sunderland and burnley for the drop

They have played poorly, tonight. New Stadium or not.

I'm not saying it's the case, but the owners might have had a word in Bilic's ear and told him to forget about the FA Cup. they NEED to survive relegation

West Ham were unlucky to go behind but gave up at 0-3.

City looked good but not too many teams will give them that amount of space.

West Ham rent the ground after being told that they would not be allowed to buy it. If you are some sort of representative for the taxpayers you can blame your negotiators for the rental charge.

Any defence with Kolarov and Otomendi in the centre is going to concede at least one goal probably more

Went to the match. Staggering support given terrestrial coverage.

First time I've missed Upton Park.

2 excellent passing sides have destroyed us on what must be a bigger playing area. Arse 1-5 and City 0-5. Mentions in dispatches to Watford 2-4 and Saints 0-3. Good grief...

No idea why we can't adapt.

Great banter with the excellent City fans. We copied their 'Poznan' and were applauded. Sympathetically I'm sure...

The highlight was of course this
