That hit EVERYONE’S hand

I'm losing my mind at the officiating and commentating. I can't say which is worse. Calling the WSL the Premier League and mistaking one blonde ponytail for another, or missing six handballs in a row then calling a penalty for a foul outside the box?

WHY DIDN'T SHE GRAB THE DAMN BALL

Legit its so frustrating watching us need like ten chances for every goal while the opposition just wacks the ball anywhere near our goal and it ends up in the net.

i forget how good Gorry is jesus

How could the ref’s positioning been that bad that she didnt see the 3 handballs that happened

I have been personally victimised by a goal post

I’m loving this gorry v Viv battle

height difference makes it hilarious

Sometimes you just need to shoot and see if you get a lucky ricochet or something.

Yes they gotta SHOOT to score

If there’s something we’re consistent with, it’s letting the opposition score with the first shot on target.

That's the difference, really. Our gk messes up and they capitalise. Their's messes up and we can't.

Feels like we're now just watching our title hopes disintegrate in real time

Not the commentator saying that was a better punch 💀

That was a penalty with no doubt in my mind. Trouble is we’ve wasted every opportunity anyway, can’t just put it on the ref

Pain. I'm experiencing great pain. Have we become allergic to shooting?

I fuckin hate the fact that I'll have to hear about this game on all my podcasts

Sometimes my podcast episodes just delete themselves it’s so weird??

i can’t help but think that right about now jenny beattie would be scoring a header

It’s hurting me now I feels bloody personal I want a Viv goal so bad now

KCC always looks like a small child with that huge puffer on

She is Gorry’s (other) small child

I guess there's always next season guys...

Awarding new contracts to people who don’t deserve them has set this club back 3 years

And this is why we complain about this commentator. Yes they’re blonde ponytails, but they’re different blonde ponytails. Leah wasn’t even near her.

Stupid challenge from Catley, ball was over hit to high heavens and going out

Does foord have some kind of blackmail on jonas or something? Mead didn't have a great game but neither did foord I would've rather seen foord come off

Its crazy that we started with one of our best line-ups yet and this is how we are ending the game

I think something being missed about missed calls is momentum. West Ham’s penalty changed the game for them and us. If we get the pen in the first half our players probably stay the course but their heads drop. If we get the pen now things change too. Have we done enough to win this? Probably not but not have West Ham and if it’s shit officiating that benefits one team that should be spoken about but, like I said earlier, it’ll be excused because we haven’t won.

Jonas has made us elite vs top clubs but we are so bad against low blocks he has to figure it out.

Having remembered how depressing this fixture was last year I'd appreciate an early goal. And then 50 more, if that's possible. Please.

“It is strange they’ve struggled at home… and everywhere really” 💀

Stina's not even on the pitch and we're still getting wrong offside calls.

I think the difference with Stina is that she usually is actually offside

Jesus christ can someone shoot

If this is how we play against West Ham god help us with London city lionesses.

The leg length difference on that Gorry Viv matchup is hilarious

ping pong handballs there

That’s definitely a hand ball lol many handballs

So ref saw that deflection but didn't see the twenty thousand handballs? Ok

Why’re we zooming in on raw feet lmao

Announcer can't tell all the blonde ponytails apart. Lets go RUSSOO

YAASS RUSSO omg my heart when the commentator said it was Leah

“Headling Leah Williamson scores in her return to Premier League Action” excuse me sir no

Second halfsenal I need you to do something for me

Can’t say I’m surprised no le clean sheet for us

https://preview.redd.it/c49qdaztpkgc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d78b7a0ad1d35634152284996d38e24584bd186f

Lacasse getting more than five minutes is nice.

Leah looks so mad

Great…We cannot lose or tie this game. Everyone better get themselves in gear.

I hate it here. Can we just pop off and score 4 now?

I’m going to need Arsenal to be serious now this is West Ham

Man, at least Fox is good.

https://preview.redd.it/7vk0h0hyakgc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c28748cd886a118f1a7aa124a974fd3b88f7502 For some reason posting this calms me a bit. I'm becoming superstitious.

Handball on the goal line - not a penalty Foul outside the box - penalty Thank you ref very cool

Even Wrighty ain't happy with Manu https://preview.redd.it/sdqqm9qfukgc1.jpeg?width=840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57ffca0b57b01645a90a721012ebca4b3602cff8

Also I didn’t say in the lineup thread but while I’ve been a mainstay of the LWM supremacy movement, the fact that she’s keeping out Ilestedt (and to a lesser extent Codina) is biiiig. Sarina are you watching????????

Viv that ball holy sheeeeeet

The kit is so great I’ll always love it

Theres 10 fucking handballs there 🤣 literally playing volleyball my days

We've definitely been too hesitant in front of goal but our build-up play has been awesome so far.

Wish I had a therapist that could analyse me half as much as the commentators analysed that Viv chance.

I think we need to dedicate a week's worth of training to just fackin leatherin the ball into the fackin net, if you pardon my Cockney.

The commentator making me doubt my whole existence with the Williamson goal

RUSSSOOOO! Well deserved there. Hope this starts to dispel some of her doubters

Not a great half, but at least we scored. Again, more movement around the box and faster play would be our friend.

good 45 mins for Leah

Well Manu that was certainly a choice

So much unnecessary recycling of the ball. There’s no one on Lacasse and she passes backwards

well we have to win the fa cup if we fall behind in the league again 😭

I would say I can’t believe this but I can, actually, laughable

I would be less upset about this if we weren't playing so poorly

First we lose Beattie, then we lose to west ham. Awful week to be an Arsenal fan

Wow this is embarrassing

If we’re gonna play like that then genuinely its rude to those of us who woke up early

That was like three handballs!

This officiating is shit

They’re all getting frustrated. We’ve been good coming back in the second half so I’m hopeful.

Yes Vivianne, let the rage build. Feel the rage.

Bring on Stina and Cloé before 60min pls Jonas

Not a very good goal keeper I'm afraid.

Oh Manu….You freaking catch that! (I maintain my desire for a new GK. New contract or not)

We cannot afford to lose this

I would say this is the worst we have played this season but we have had a fair few shockers

Even if we somehow draw it’s not good enough

Emily Fox is tremendous

This is a 10/10 from Fox and Leah and generously the next best was probably 3/10

this was one of the most painful things i’ve ever watched. however, my aussie heart is slightly happy arsenal basically just saved macca and mini from relegation. on that we need a new goalie asap. manu i can’t with u anymore ok i tried to give u the benefit of the doubt but i can’t any more. edit: to be clear i am not saying manu is solely at fault there needs to be some better decision making up top and by jonas but seriously

I like Beth and Foord switching sides, get the creative juices flowing

Camera shows Viv head to toe but as it pans to her waist Gorry pops into view lmao

Lovely from Foord, deserved a better cross

what tf is this announcer rambling about

Oh will this commentator just shut up

Not the Paramount+ commentator confusing Arsenals blondes

The goal difference between us as city tho

Ah, ok so one half for Leah today, that's good. Slowly building

Foul wasn't even in the fucking box

We still need a new keeper next season, new contract or not.

(sharpay voice) this is not what i want. this is not what i planned. and i just have to say, i do not understand

Lacasse and Stina i have faith

Lacasse and Stina…finally

Man, we got lucky with getting Fox. Excellent in defense and offense 🙏

Catley just slipping after taking that corner is the embodiment of this game

West Ham playing with passion. Arsenal playing with panick

we are so slow

arsenal - 20 shots 4 on target west ham - 4 shots 2 on target 💀💀💀

Our opponents parked the bus in their box. Solution? We won't be shooting from the distance, we will keep running with the ball to the middle of that crowd. It sure will work at some point, right? Right?! IQ 200

Genuinely outplayed in the second half by a relegation candidate. Well done lads

i love this team but they make it so hard😞😞

This commentator doesn’t know shit. Just spouts random incorrect facts

Where is ref looking

Mesmerised by our kits

Oh arsenal v low blocks how I hate you

oh my god viv just smash the ball!!

That's an unbelievable tackle

Foord, please look before crossing in the box like that. Thanks.

Christ going to be one of these days

soo close Viv damn

so we are doing the woodwork challenge again

Fuck sake this is going to be one of them games, hows that not in from viv. Shes looking well pissed off with herself today

Why did we just zoom in on a foot lol

this commentator💀

How in the fuck is Russo left so free on a corner? Like I’m happy but what?

catley's got a shot in her

Catley finally being the one to take a shot...yeah

i'd like to see Lacasse

Whys the commentator talking about this like Leah is injured again, surely it's just management.

That's goddamn outside the goddamn box, Jesus Christ.

Little for Pelova please. We need kim's composure now

Hey look, 2 goals from 2 shots on target. Who'd have thought it.

Can we swap goalkeepers please

Emily Fox is so fucking good.

and we’re gonna win the league🔥🔥 not with performances like this x

we got so lucky with Fox amazing signing

Only this team can make me wake up at 6am local time on a weekend just to feel sad

Love it that Meado and Viv aren’t hiding their disappointment. It’s pretty bleak so far today

The finishing is shocking but this current lineup of all strikers is also criminal

jesus so many passes outside the area, you wouldn't think we're chasing the game

*cries in Australian* I have too many feels to feel.

82nd minutes and passing that slowly on the edge of their box.

Cooke getting subbed on and collecting a yellow card not even a min later. Classy.

So many disasterclass performances today….

Come on Leicester and beat City. There is always second place

If we aren’t careful, we genuinely might not qualify for CL

Listen I’m sure Jonas is a decent dude and he knows something about football but something about how he’s leading this team ain’t working.

Why is the commentator trying to stir up bs with Miedema & Mead being subbed off. Pretty’s sure they look pissed because we suck not because they’ve come off

Just a clear as day penalty. She's beaten and puts in a challenge that gets the player and not the ball.

I’ve been a Manu defender but it’s getting harder and harder to keep defending her when she makes errors that cost us games

If people seriously think we lost that because of Manu I'd question if we even watched the same game. The mistake that led to the second goal was awful but missing 20+ shots is inexcusable

Much like people have their faves they have the ones they hate… We need a better keeper undoubtedly, this loss wasn’t on her.

Oh god, not *the* commentator. Can’t wait for the creative pronunciations and irrelevant fun facts.

He just said that McCabe injured herself against Liverpool. She's suspended ffs

Look at that crowd. We are gargantuan

at least 3 hand balls lol

Viv preinjury burys that unfortunatly bit of a lack of match sharpness with that great turn tho

Angy Viv

oof that landing looked bad

Hayashi playing a blinder for West Ham. I would like her to stop doing that.

bruh this announcer BUT RUSSOOOOO

I cannot believe anyone enables misogyny against women commentators when this is what we get. Like bffr

Ah man, not the Beattie eulogy. I'm really gonna miss her.

Ah shit that was outside, terrible call

Shit fucking ref

I do not understand this team

Shocking from manu

That’s just embarassing

Get Kim Little on the pitch immediately

The commentary has been insufferable. Our wingers and Pelova haven't been in the game.

The thing is if we lose or draw we can’t complain about the officiating because it’s sour grapes right. If we win then we can actually point out how shit it’s been which should be for the benefit of all. Like no doubt we’ve been awful this second half but it should be 1-1 if we miss the pen or 2-1 if we score it. Officiating **needs** to be the focus of the new WSL leadership.

I'm so sick of watching us fail over and over to score against teams that are nowhere near our level. All season long it's been the same shit.

I do like gorry especially when she plays for Australia but she’s pissing me right off lol

This passing at the back, the lack of communication/responsibility. Thankfully there was no one around to press them.

Truly how is this the same team that beat Chelsea 4-1 like where did they go????

A very embarrassing day and they can tell. Everything feels rushed.

We never actually look like scoring no matter how close we are to the goal. Just feels inevitable that we'll misplace the pass or scuff the shot

Foord for Maanum? No formation just vibes I guess

Jonas needs to take some responsibility as well, I’m not saying the players are perfect but pretty much every WSL game feels so nervy/difficult when I’m not sure it should with the players we have

Refs finally giving us some freekicks she only owes us 2 pens and about 50 more

Awful foul from Cloe when Fox was about to get to that ball

Dawg i dont wanna hear about Japan rn

[удалено]

i do not care about the Japanese national teams clean changing rooms.

Well shit. Refs were shit and we were shit.

So many handballs over there jesus christ

Absolute crap. Aimless passing around the box until someone gets frustrated and plays a pointless ball that gets intercepted

The absolute dogshit refeering does not excuse this travesty of a performance

The major difference between us and West Ham: A goalkeeper that will actually move and save the ball

finally a reasonable time to watch live from aus 🕺🕺

Imagine you saw this lineup two months ago youd think it was a dream

Mini Gorry is a menace, this is going to be a frustrating game

A wall of just Vic Pelova will never not be funny

Idk if everyone has the same commentator, but my guy is absolute garbage

That's a great pass regardless of offside or not.

Lol, what a weird scramble of events there. And of course it doesn't go in.

Definitely handball

Eventually one of Russo’s header’s has to go in cmon

Shame that went over from russo, foxes crossing looks really good
