No. We need to calm down, a game of ****housery suits West Ham United, at this point.Quote:

I, in my idiocy, would have been happy if one of Jorgy/Partey and/or Jakub had left in the summer, but thank Ganpati they all stayed.
We need this squad depth. Both Benny Blanc and Tomi out, so we have no more cover at RB and RCH.
Partey and Merino are both injured from midweek. Just knocks apparentlyQuote:

Thought exactly that, the 2nd free kick they got close to the edge of the box wasn't a foul either.Quote:

The refs will tell you there are criteria for looking at this, and no two situations are the same. Which is the standard response of anyone who is making it up as they go along.Quote:

Yes, his was even worse.Quote:
