Herculean effort. Fine margins again.

Get Targett, Hall and Tino on.

Need fresh legs, can’t see the game out with this team. Targett, Willock, Tino.

He looks tired to me. Not as much of the insane pressing tonight.

Wolves are among the biggest cunts in English football. Fuck them.

Can we play our CL card?

Would be soft.

Trippier is horrendous, lost it 5 or 6 times.

Seemed to regress to the old Longstaff last night, getting caught in possession or with the ball stuck under his feet. The Dortmund press and the weather probably contributed. Hope he bounces back against Wolves.

Bossed the game for the most part, against perennial CL competitors. They got some luck, we didn’t.

First few minutes it doesn’t look like we’ve got a midfield. Getting passed through.

Was over 18 months ago, we are in the big league now. No-one said it was going to be easy. No-one is faulting the effort.

Midfield 3 look off the pace, Big Joe and Longstaff look a bit sluggish.

He’s as fit as a lop.

Such a lack of urgency by West Ham. The initial ball out to Watkins was over hit but they allowed him to get to it and then turn and find a team mate unopposed. So lazy and punished for the lack of pressure on the ball.

Not downgrading addiction but a lot of footballers seem to do daft things like this due to boredom.

Just turned on, wish England and Italy would swap shorts.

Shame we couldn’t hang on but this unbeaten run has us back in touch with our rivals with a couple of weeks to get people fit. We are in a good place.

Flatten the stadium and rebuild on the approximate footprint. Consider turning the pitch round, re-routing roads, digging down, building over roads, moving a couple of hundred yards into Leazes park or whatever is required for a 65-70k stadium within throwing distance of the current ground.

Is he injured? Not training with the rest of the squad.

Wonder how much PIF have spent already?

I was at an England game at Wembley and he was a few rows in front. He was getting escorted out by police and stewards. I didn’t witness it myself but someone said he was shouting racist remarks.

Well this is fun.

Cancelled out the first goal for me.

Gordon needs to keep running at their RB. We’ve been in similar territory in other games and not taken advantage.
