Match Thread West Ham Utd 2-1 Everton. Saturday 25th April 2026

That was definitely a penalty but it would have covered over the cracks of what occurred today

 

[Mikey O]

Just back from the game and having watched it on video that was 100% a penalty and we've been robbed of three points.

Unfortunately our season effectively ended with the injuries to Beto and Branthwaite

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Safe journey home everyone, you deserve better

 

[eugene03]

This idea to keep team secret to last minute so opponents can’t plan for who’s playing everyone knew what our starting lineup was on going to be on Friday

 

[ChesterBlue]

That penalty decision is up there with the worst I’ve ever seen - deliberately slaps the ball out, clear movement towards the ball.

 

[f.t.r.s]

How exactly did they decided Pablo impeding pickford was accidentally contact?

He intentionally positions himself in front of pickford then backs into him to prevent him coming for the ball..

And the handball? Theres literally no excuse...

The ref was an obvious homer, twice we won the ball back clean only to see him give fouls ...

With v.a.r available there is simply no excuse for the incompetence of the referees in this league...

 

[Sussex]

You could see we were going to equalise. They were effing awful. Bringing on defenders and defensive midfielders and sat back with 8, 10 or 18 men behind the ball.

Their keeper looks like a performing seal.

What was criminal though, was to let them straight back in it after we scored.

The pen fuming if that was given against us. Fuming it wasn't given for us. Overshadowed a poor match though.

 

[Naylor56]

Season over. Can’t see us winning except Sunderland at home.

 

[bag a yoko]

I can easily say that's the most absurd handball that I've seen but given since the introduction of VAR.

Usually I don't care. I have no idea what they'll decide. But this was another level.

[Toffeeforme]

That non penalty is the worst I can remember seeing. If that is not corruption it is the most incompetent decision by an official ever.

 

[marsh]

What an awful away day, terrible on the pitch and off it, fans so quiet. Hate when we play like that, so slow like it's a friendly.
Be glad to get home.

Why is it we never seem to get a " homer" serious question, been every home game apart from Arsenal and I swear I haven't seen a decent ref or one that actually favoured us this season at least.

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Why have two RBs on the bench, sub off the CB who always plays there, then move our best CM there when he comes off?

Make it make sense!?

 

[evertony]

Thought the ref was absolutely terrible for the entire game. Football's become unwatchable for me a bit now with the amount of time taken out of the game, time wasting players flopping etc. There's absolutely no flow to it anymore.

Dinosaur managers who are ultra cautious cause the tedium and lack of flow.
