  Ian Wilkins in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• I've just read that Moyes thinks the nailed on penalty we should have got against his former club would have been harsh - what the f*** ! On the decision, Moyes said: "I'm a bit surprised. I've been to see them [the officials] and VAR are saying it was grappling – well, the boy marking him was grappling. He punched the ball. It would have been harsh, but I'm amazed they haven't given it.” ...

• Patric (14) Patric he has never come off his line since he has been here, it’s been a constant fault of his which has caused a good few goals against us and he has got away with plenty more, I blamed him last week for not coming off his line when Branthwaite was shielding the ball back to him just before he got injured v Liverpool it was his ball all day long and then he’s glued to the line when Van Dijk heads home the winner although fans blamed Tarkowski who should have done better but so should Pickford. As a shot stopper he is excellent but as an all round quality goalkeeper I wouldn’t think so....
  Dave Abrahams in West Ham 2-1 Everton: What We Learned
• Mark@220, many years ago I was at Uni in Hull, and it was! Eric@215, the semi final v Liverpool was awful, and Moyes in a nutshell, nothing at all for Evertonians to be proud of. I also assume you remember your man Moyes losing a QF a year later at Goodison 0-3 to Wigan....
