Perfect example of why VAR is driving people up the wall, can't get an ounce of consistency out of it.

Wasn't Conte the Chelsea manager when EH took Bournemouth there and howked them 3 nowt?

What is it with West Ham and hand ball decisions? Isn't that 3 contentious goals in the past game and a half?

Enjoy @HaydnNUFC hope we get the win with you in attendance

The man learns his lessons. Spoke about it in the pre-match thread. He (or the players) got it completely wrong in this fixture a few months ago. Just knew he took every possible lesson from that and would apply it today, regardless of how the game turned out. He's methodical and intelligent and that's an understatement.

Aye but we blew it by not appointing Gerrard instead.

He's probably played more games, though I haven't checked. For a player who gets in the positions he does, he's crap in front of goal. See just the last 2 games for decent examples.

Every once in a while their Amnesty International masks slip and they let it be known all they really care about is our failure on the pitch.

That's the Rashford that can't score and falls to bits in the box every time? Abraham I can agree on. Think Wilson and Toney are pretty close honestly.

Aye Woodgate was brilliant but the absolute epitome of late 90's/early 00s lad and drinking culture. Never looked after himself the way athletes do nowadays, hard to imagine Botman hanging off lampposts after 17 pints anyway.

Was at that game in 93, brilliant day

No wonder Maldini wanted him so bad. Well worth the long pursuit, incredible buy, huge character and a massive reason we currently have such a brilliant defensive record. Man, between Tripps, Bruno and this lad, we've managed to sign some brilliantly talented players but with huge character too.

Oh and just by the way, we have conceded 10 in 12 having faced Man City, Liverpool (a), Man Utd (a) and Spurs (a). Incredible.

Wow. I'm off for a lie down

You've been a rock of confidence in this thread, don't falter now

Think we'll see every snide trick in the book second half like

We're only 4th lads, relax, nee big deal

So this is going slightly better than expected

The way this is echoing last season's game so far is a bit uncomfortable like, hope the outcome is a bit different

It still is in Pennywell apparently

The state of this man, not a grown adult surely... "Not knocking the Burnley lads , they were game. But the Sunderland youth appeared to know "exactly" what they were up to. And more importantly they seemed a tight little mob." Read more fascinating comments https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/burnley-fans-on-carley-road.1592132/page-5

Also think EH will have learned a lot from last season's game, he's not one to forget major lessons like that

I mean they scraped into the league one playoffs last year and now they're upset at being mid-table championship. Have a day off MLF

Think Man Utd are really poor in the box honestly, they had at least 3 very good chances to score prior to Chelsea getting the pen. They weren't great but a Chelsea win would have been daylight robbery

Eh? ok, I suppose honest opinions get pulled now?
