Another routine win for United that will send em to dizzying heights of 6th place in the table!

1-1

 

[Stevencc]

Tough one. West Ham have been on a bit of a resurgence lately but the wins they've picked up have only been against Hull, Swansea and Burnley so it's hard to know whether they've actually turned a corner or just enjoyed an easy run of fixtures.

Hope to see Carrick back in for this one.

Will send? They are already in 6th place

I am with stevencc here, this could be a tough one. The Hammers actually a bit in no-mans land. But they've won 3 out of 4 plus a draw at Anfield. On New Years Eve a slight setback with a 1-0 loss at Leicester.
I don't think that they could beat ManU, which had a good game against Boro, but it won't be a routine win imo.

 

[Nilsson]

Fergie on West Ham getting Fergied.

Raisin balls alert!

Man Utd to sneak a late win again 2-1.

Wish Martial would have started, but otherwise an expected lineup.

 

[Dirk]

After Liverpool let me down with a 2-2 (I predicted a 2-1 win) hopefully ManU will do better and will give me the lost 3 points in the 1FF prediction League back....all you have to do is to win with 2-1

 

[Stevencc]

I hope we don't give Payet a sniff of a free kick around the box. Antonio vs Darmian could be a bit of a mismatch, too.

I also went 2-1 to United, mate. Good luck - hopefully we don't let you down like Liverpool did.

 

[Stevencc]

That's harsh on Feghouli.

 

[sl1k]

Not a red card that, some awful awful officiating in the premier league nowadays. But we've had so many decisions go against us this season, I'll take this as karma.

 

[Renegade]

Aye, never a red. West Ham had started this game pretty well too.

 

[Super_horns]

Very unlucky red card - if anything Jones went in harder.

Honi soit qui mal y pense....naughty little beggar

 

[Stevencc]

Valencia was offside, there. Good save though. Not sure how Lingard missed the follow up.

 

[sl1k]

His end product can be so frustrating.

Good squad player though, can't complain.

 

[AnimoEtFide]

Can't Mike Dean fuck off to China too?

 

[Stevencc]

Lovely work from Rashford, Mata rarely misses from there.

1-0.

 

[Stevencc]

Zlatannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

 

[Dirk]

So, already 2-0, now one for West Ham please, they deserve it! (and me, too )

 

[Chelsea Royale]

Wrongful red card. Another offiside goal allowed for scummy united. Fucking piss take officiating.

Hope they stay in 6th place.

 

[Stevencc]

And the run continues, brilliant stuff!

 

[Dirk]

And the run continues, brilliant stuff!

OK, brilliant is a bit exaggerated but you're excused as ManU fan . 6 wins in a row now, not bad and I hope that Chelsea won't win against Spurs so that their infamous 13 win streak ends and then.....

We won't go on to beat Chelsea's run but we are improving and have found some real consistency after our poor start to the season, it's encouraging.

And the run continues, brilliant stuff!

With the help of Mike Dean and a visually impaired linesman.

 

[Nilsson]

That'll do.

Never a red card, the officiating this season has been pretty poor imo. These pictures sum up the standard:

Fair play to Jose for trusting Carrick to play cb at 0-0, his passing ability was especially essential after the sending off and it was great to see Rashford come on and make a big difference. Hopefully we'll see more of him in the 2 cup games coming up.
