The onfield refs get plenty of stick and most of the time it's justified but the linesmen get off absolutely scot-free. They are there to assist the referee with onfield decisions such as the blatant foul on Bowen. They're not there just to award a throw-in and they can't get them right half the time. I don't see the point of them anymore.

Hey Gary first time i've watched in a while as i normally take you to bed with me lol....via the podcast of course...channels come along well keep up the good work mate COYI

Gave The Ball Away Too Many Times That Cost Us The Game

Only saw the last half hour on telly but we 'were' sitting back and inviting them on more than I was comfortable with, though going by yourself, Stel, and Hammers Chat, that wasn't reflective of the whole game, which is good enough for me. There was certainly more energy there. I have faith in Potter and am glad we've got him.

Like Potter he got the team playing together and looking Happy to be playing for us again, sullivan let him down only sign one player

Great assessment Gary. I always get disappointed when we lose but last night was gutting. Wonderful support again credit to all that went. Love the unity, I think Potter is just what we needed COYI

100% agree with you Gary we was robbed by the ref and VAR, everyone of the lad's put in a shift I was so pleased with what I saw from them ❤️⚒️

Because Ref and Var cost as the win or least a draw, we played well players play for each other and the manager which did not see with loopy or last season under moyes

Good positive review

Potter at the under 18 Cup today which is good

The constant fouling of Bowen is one of the biggest issues in the game. VAR ineptitude is the other.

Irving looks like a good buy.

I 100% agree about Kudus- Supporters knocking him are clueless and don't understand football- he is class and we would struggle without him-I have been so proud of the team and the shape of the side with so many players out.

Hi Gaz my opinion is exactly the same as yours …we will be formidable with the players we have now when they are fit … we have a bit of time between now and the Brentford game we are going to beat them in a gd fashion I feel

You said it Gaz. That was an impressive performance. When will 'pundits' learn that 'the West Ham way' is 100% effort and commitment. Kudus was being treble marked for large parts of the game. Robbed again by incompetent officials, we were worth a draw at least. My favourite moment apart from Bowen's goal was Cress' cheeky free kick. COYI

Kudus was off side Gary

Was a good entertaining game, walked away pretty happy, always want a score line win but sometimes little wins come from just watching your team put in a shift & being competitive, seeing fans, players & manager all as one, seeing academy players on the pitch. We’ve got a really good coach here, we need to trust & back him and hopefully he’s here for the foreseeable. COYI

The ref should have given a free kick for the foul on JB shortly before Chelsea's equaliser. VAR was right: Cucurella was onside, because the ball didn't touch the other Chelsea defender before it came to him. We deserved to win the game. Bad refereeing and bad luck cost us.

I have had to describe to Clara and booze because he’s got so negative lately every time you tune into him he’s ranting about something I am West Ham till I die but I don’t believe Clarence and booze is West Ham till I die anymore. It’s gone so downhill so glad you left when you did.COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️

Gave 100% and matched the support shown to the team.

I agree about Kudus. He was up against it in that role but never gave up.

Totally agree with your opinions, you were robbed by a crap referee and Var. Chelsea must be the most overrated teams in the top half. They always commit niggly fouls and always seem to ge away with it. I am a Forest fan and used to seeing crap referees and decisions (Everton 3 penalties not given last season) they just seem to want us to get on with it, say anything about it and they will fine you. Good luck for the rest of the season. Best team in London. ❤❤

Every time Kudus gets the ball, he has 3 players on him, I thought we played well and were unlucky to lose ! Onwards and upwards COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️

Overall the team performance was outstanding

Kudus was a liability in the first half his passing back to the defence was diabolical

This is why I despise Chelsea so much Gary, but enough said about that, over all Gar, based on you in person report, things are A-O-K for West Ham and are gonna improve, you may know, I’m thrilled about JWP coming back, I love Cressy, but his one saving grace at this point in his taking of sets has escaped him. Hopefully, with Todibo, Summerville, Paqueta, and JWP back, and if Ferguson can chip in? I have hope! COYI⚒️

I totally disagreed with that persons rant last night Gaz fans were immense and players gave everything

Hearing our fans sing Graham Potters claret blue army tells you all need yo know about Potter and how he's doing I really feel like we have our west ham back ⚒️

A poor summation of the game Irving fouled a chelsea player first then got shoved away . Embarrassing listening to this garbage .

I must say Gary, since Potter has come into the club I feel animated during the games. Under Moyes and Loppy I had a hard time to be involved with the game. At last we are beginning to play as a team and fully motivated with tactics that work. At last no more dull boring football with narcissistic coaching. All hail G Potter as he has brought a bit of sunshine into my life again! 👍😀😀😀⚒⚒⚒

Quality of subs was the difference in the end....pedro neto top quality.....we ll be alright...once we get depth on bench....COYI....

The standard of refereeing is one of the reasons I stopped going. I said paying them more would make no difference, and they've gotten worse since. They clearly favour certain teams, and VAR is a complete waste of time. I thought the players deserved something from the game

So pleased you moved away from a certain channel ... so refreshing to listen to a well balanced review ... Keep up the great work ⚒️⚒️

As long as they try. We never expect to win every time. Just play well and compete

Great resume Gary, the referee was a biased bastard. How do they continue to be employed? Disgraceful performance. Chelscum were extremely lucky. You could only hear the away fans throughout the game! Well done all who went! COYI ⚒⚒⚒

Andy Irvine should be retained for next year he’s a decent squad player and won’t let anyone down ! I’m absolutely pig sick of refs cosying up to the so called big name teams ! We deserved something out of that game last night

The problem with Kudus is the pressure and the desperation to score. Also he does extra with complicating the pass to a level where his team mates are not able to read those skillful passes and it makes him look bad. Solution: 1.Simplify things for the time being till we have more options or better players. 2. Accept your role or he has to be given a role as a decoy. All the teams at this point have read your play and for now you'll always be a target. Clear your mind, switch it up keep it simple pass it up early and just try to be clinical as much as you can. He'll come good. He's a Ghanaian we know and have followed his journey he's a natural born talent. He's just having a rough patch following events that occured in this season he should find a way to come out of that funk!

Andy Irving really impressed me. Only way it could have been a better 1st start is if his long shot went in! Lots of green shoots and things to get positive about. I thought we looked the better team for large chunks of the game. Rent boys needed the ref to dig them out of the shit. Top 4? Theyre having a laugh

I feel we were very unlucky yesterday, and on a another would have got a result from that game. Also guilherme looked special when he came on, wish he could get some more playtime.

Gary, appreciated great support of Potter and the team. Can see the project taking shape, especially if Sully backs Potter's choices in the summer transfers.

Totally agree, feared the worse when I saw the team sheet but pleased with the attitude of the players. Potter is a builder and Rome wasn’t built in a day.

WH mugged and robbed yet once again by inadequate referee and VAR. Nothing changes so stuff any possible future apologies. Usual favorable attitude to so called "top teams" ?

Bang on with your comments Gary. I thought the boys played well with a depleted team and at least deserved a point.

Chelsea have always been a mug team. Fuck em.

Great review thanks Gary. Andy Irving’s interview brought tears to my eyes, what a lovely guy who loves our club and his girlfriend. I too can’t understand the Kudus bashers, he was really good. We deserved something from that game. Both of their goals were dodgey. Potter also did a great job. I was very proud of our team. Totally different performance from previous 2 managers and the fans were amazing well done guys you sounded brilliant

There was only one channel that slagged off the performance and was very irate every other channel was like you supportive of the team which was right what could potter do with that team even the best managers would not have done any better well done the team and especially potter once he gets hes full team then judge him

Great review. Not sure what some fans are expecting, we look way more competitive and structured compared to earlier in the season. Will only get better COYI

If arsenal or Liverpool were on the other end of that reffing performance then it would be all over media, all there fans would be calling corruption and the reffing cuntssociation would be apologizing.

Meow. I didn't realise that the split was that bad

Just to say if anyone hasn't seen Gary's transfer deadline day which he recorded about three days in advance but was spot on covering the West Ham January windows for the last 15 years.
