Yellow for that lol. Someone's getting sent off then.

No where near enough to bring a guy of his size down like he’s been hit by a sniper.

Whether he’s gone down or not is irrelevant, a shirt pull is a foul, therefore it’s a pen.

He should have teleported instead of trying with all his might to pull out.

It's not a pen.

I'm sorry where teh f**k was alonso supposed to go there? 

Never a booking that, f**king hell

 

Absolute nonsense of a yellow for Alonso there.

No where near enough to bring a guy of his size down like he’s been hit by a sniper.

Morata is obviously still getting used to the difference in refereeing styles. No doubt would have got that in La Liga playing for Madrid, and thinks he'll get the same at Chelsea

Here we are playing it out the back on a high press again. 

Bakayoko jumped out the way off that despite the fact it was clearly going wide 

f**king Taylor has a gameplan.

Ah f**k

Referee is on the windup trying to provoke our players into silly retaliation. This is so anti-sportsmanship.  One question - is he doing it on purpose or is he so awfully incompetent?

You can’t  pull a players shirt. There are rules for that. Go read up on them.

It's our weakness, we aren't learning to deal with it though. We just keep repeating it and hoping for things to change.

How did that shot from Hazard not hit anyone?  It's just not going to be our day.  We'll get a red card by half time and West Ham will end up winning 3-1.  I can see it already.

Not the ref's fault we are looking crap. What's Zappacosta doing???

Going to be one of those days I'm afraid.

That is never a pen in a million years

It's been almost 4 months...

Zappacosta at it now. Have they been practising flopping on to the ground in training this week or something?

Very embarrassed by the diving, stop it already

It's not cut and dry mate, refs discretion if its enough to warrant a pen, and in all honesty that wasn't.

So pulling a players shirt isn’t a foul?

We seem to be getting into a rhythm now
