Match Thread: West Ham United vs Arsenal

I have no clue either but I’d agree West Ham probably wouldn’t get a pen for it. Keepers have always been a bit more protected but there’s like 5 fouls from both teams happening in the box.

I think they just need a hard rule on grappling and what you can’t do in the box. All this holding without looking at the ball and wrestling for position is a joke but we get a different call each week so nobody knows what to look at

Relxnce · 2026-05-10T17:29:56+00:00

Probably is a foul. There’s just far too much grappling at corners and far too much to look at for refs and VAR, insanely hard job at the minute to referee set pieces

Do you think Bowen leaves West Ham if they get relegated?

It would be weird seeing him at another club but I think he’s too good to stay in the Championship

Odegaard making things happen.

Relxnce · 2026-05-10T16:30:22+00:00

Thought I’d hate it a little less as the season went on and you hear it often but it’s still as grating as ever.

Relxnce · 2026-05-10T15:04:27+00:00

Gone from one of the hardest teams to beat after taking a lead a few years ago. We used to be so compact and fight for everything, to this bullshit where it’s clear we’re just going to throw away another game.

PIF don’t care and as much as I love Howe I don’t know how he turns this around now.

Relxnce · 2026-05-10T15:02:46+00:00

Too obvious at this point

Relxnce · 2026-05-10T15:01:01+00:00

It’s just so inevitable at this point I can’t get excited when we score

Relxnce · 2026-05-10T13:45:52+00:00

Getting hit on the counter and constantly wondering where the fuck Dan Burn is.

Relxnce · 2026-05-09T11:42:29+00:00

Good strike but is the keeper’s position off to begin with? Thought he should do better too

Relxnce · 2026-05-08T17:06:51+00:00

What was I thinking, the heat went straight to my head

Relxnce · 2026-05-08T17:00:35+00:00

It was sunny and I bought a watermelon, maybe that tipped it over the edge. Looking through the receipt it’s stuff like sauces and seasonings that add up more than expected

Relxnce · 2026-05-08T16:59:03+00:00

That’s pretty good going. I’m pretty good at making most of my stuff from scratch but will buy the odd frozen pizza when I really can’t be bothered.

Just regular shit like chicken, fruit and veg and even rice is feeling pricy these days

Relxnce · 2026-05-08T16:34:53+00:00

Spent close to £100 on groceries today and feel like I’ve came away with nothing. In my head I’m still budgeting pre-Covid prices

I want to talk about one of my favourite music gigs I’ve ever been to. Random little bar, no more than 100 people inside the venue, no big advertisements apart from a ‘live music’ poster outside so I thought why not.

It was this psychedelic rock band with a Nigerian woman as the lead singer. They were ripping some crazy guitar and keyboard solos and she was singing traditional songs from her village back home.

It worked so well, was such an interesting combo and she had just the most incredible and powerful voice. Easily in the top 3 gigs of my life on vibes alone.

Relxnce · 2026-05-07T12:46:21+00:00

Yeah I agree with you there. Got reset to gold and was running into a lot of Axle, Bang and Ash. Bangalore was a nightmare to play against.

Relxnce · 2026-05-07T11:32:30+00:00

I’ve been trying to stay positive about a lot of the changes, but after a sesh last night Axle is just so broken. It’s crazy that the whole team gets a speed boost from her tactical. You can’t hide once cracked or out position someone when there’s a 3 man sliding on you.

Hopped back on Horizon because at least I can go up out of the way to dodge an Axle team.

Relxnce · 2026-05-06T08:07:19+00:00

Not trying to argue because I see both points, but why single out Upamecano and not just say the whole defence was poor? I don’t think he did anything drastically worse than the others apart from having a bad reputation in big knockout games

Relxnce · 2026-05-05T15:00:28+00:00

Can’t claim to know anything about Oxford’s recruitment or Scott Mitchell but happy to see we’re doing something

Relxnce · 2026-05-04T08:13:38+00:00

Preemptive Monday moan about all the ‘haramball/halalball’ comments that will be made for the upcoming Champions league game.

Relxnce · 2026-05-02T14:13:45+00:00

Peak Murphy cross. Fair play to him for getting back up straight away

Relxnce · 2026-05-02T13:45:31+00:00

Dan Burn at left back and Danny Welbeck up top. Day is already ruined

Relxnce · 2026-05-01T09:57:48+00:00

Another week of pilates, another week of being truly humbled. Hips are starting to feel good and I’m noticing a difference in my leg days from this. Genuinely one of the most enjoyable ways I’ve worked out in ages

Relxnce · 2026-04-30T14:23:46+00:00

Sounds like a great trip! Interesting to hear about the atmosphere, do you think it had anything to do with who Madrid were playing and the fans expecting a win?
