This.
It’s incredible that we are where are, surrounded by clubs who’ve spent double or more on fees/wages on internationals, with many seasons of PL know-how.

We're exactly where we should be. Other teams could easily say the same about some of their games. We've also got a fair number of points when we've really not played well. We are definitely improving away from home though, hopefully we'll pick up more points on the road this half of the season
Eh? If you're winning by two, it's understandable that you're disappointed if you don't win. What on earth has the fact that we know it's possible we might not win got to do with it?

That’s not over the line.

13 shots with 6 on target. Our highest number away from home in the EPL?......this season ....maybe last as well. WHU exactly the same stats and so a draw seems a fair result.

Disappointed? Yes but suggesting we ****ed it up takes away from the fact that both West Ham goals were good ones, although Maty may have done better with the first...maybe.

The stream I was watching clearly showed the ball did NOT go out. Very close, but the whole of the ball was not over the line.
Having said that, I thought Bernardo was clearly pushed.
We left our subs too late, not for the first time. I would have bought on Andone and or Knocky, or maybe both, when we were two nill up. West hame were all over the place we could have finished them off then if we'd been ruthless.
Having said all that, I would have taken a point before the game.

Quite. We will finish in the middle third because we don't remotely look look we belong in the bottom third and the top third is pie in the sky. Some of the football we do play is very special to be honest and it boils my piss to read people describing someone like Bong as shite. He really isn't, he's just playing in a squad that is one of the top 15 in the country.

As I said it’s all about opinions. IMHO opinion Gross isn’t anywhere near the levels he was last year. You disagree ...... good for you!
I didn't say we ****ed it up, I was just responding to a post that said people were miserable gits if they were unhappy.
Bit harsh blaming Matt Ryan.

People moaning that we only got a point at West Ham. What a terrible season we must be having eh?

Most fans want us to attack more away from home, but if you do that you leave gaps at the back, ergo in scoring more you're also likely to concede more.
The likes of Watford take risks. Tonight they also threw away a 2-goal lead but it is that spirit of adventure that has lifted them to 8th place in the table.

I'm with nwgullI do hope you're joking
You know the whole ball has to be all the way over, right? Looks like a centimeter or two still over the line.

Don’t think I have called him crap. I think his form has been awful this season and he doesn’t deserve his place at the moment..........I don’t think he is crap!

I thought they were really poor. Bar that 10 minute spell they offered nothing. Arnautovic is an outstanding player, best on the pitch, but apart from that they are really not that good.
I agree all teams will have results they rue but do you honestly think Watford, Wolves, Everton and Bournemouth are all better than us over a season? I certainly don’t. Leicester are the seventh best side but after that we should definitey be aiming for 8th. We just need that extra confidence to go for wins when we’re drawing and not concede defeat to ‘big’ clubs before the match has started.
Just 4 points more would put us in 8th currently and we’d have had that if we’d won when we should have tonight and against Leicester. Let alone the games against Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Burnley when the points were there for the taking if we’d tried to actually win from the start.
This isn’t meant to be overly critical of Hughton as he is obviously doing very well, but I just think the whole club need to believe in ourselves a bit more. We’re actually a really good premier league side.
