V West Ham 2015/16

[CosbehFox]

My brother just left in rage when the Cresswell goal went in. He was somewhere on the Liberty roundabout celebrating with two other blokes when Ulloa bagged the penalty

Leo Ulloa.

Thank you. Absolute gentleman and balls as big as the king power.

[Foxdiamond]

Still think we could do with a Ulloa type player

[Spudulike]

As Leo lined up the penalty, all I could think of was what the Brighton fans told us that he was a great striker but never let him take penalties. I think he missed a few important ones for them.

I always loved Ulloa. In fact, he was probably my favourite player for a while. His goals were so crucial in 14/15 and he always seemed to pop up with a big goal in the title winning season. 
 

Notably, his goals against Norwich, West Ham and Swansea were so important. Loved the one against Swansea. I remember the whole ground standing for the set-piece and him getting his head on it and putting it in the bottom corner. Great memory. 
 

As above, when it looked like we could falter, he was so significant. Great player with a fantastic attitude. The only thing I would change is how we treated him, I felt that we hounded him out a bit when Slimani came in.

I echo your sentiments about Ulloa. Absolute beast of a signing for us 

 

That header against United in the 5-3 still baffles me. The power he generates to beat De Gea is unreal

Ah yeah forgot all about Solano! Good shout

[Blueman1967]

On the highlights before the game, when they run through our history, l don't know why they don't show the Ulloa penalty being scored.

What makes the penalty even better is that their goalie is about 5 yards off his line.

I remember this game so well despite not actually watching it. Luckily for me, I had a day out with my girlfriend at Chester zoo. Unluckily for me, the signal there is shite so I see that we're 1-0 up next to the monkey enclosure and it's all happy days. As we walk past the zebras, rhinos etc. for about an hour I'm getting seriously nervous and my phone won't tell me anything. Finally, as we work our way past the meerkats, I get a bar of 3G. Open my score app and see 1-2 to West Ham. Fuming. At this point I'm buried in my phone, sitting in a pavilion bit. I then see we have a peno and Leonardo goes and scores it. I then had a relatively happy rest of the tour and enjoyed the animals and that. 

The end.

Payet (on a yellow for something that would probably be a red today) did a far more obvious dive 10 minutes after Vardy had been sent off (albeit outside the box) and it was totally ignored.

 

Every single set piece at both ends of the pitch was a wrestling match, I seem to remember Vardy getting throttled after about 5 minutes from a long throw.

 

It was a properly dreadful refereeing performance but it played its part in making it a memorable game.

Yeah remember that clearly. Payet diving a few mins after he sent Vardy off and he ignored it. Winston Reid diving in the box and he gives a penalty. Huth in a headlock, gives a goal kick. Truly one of the worse ref performances I've witnessed.

On a side note would VAR have over turned any of those decisions. Even the Huth one I cant see it, considering how Evans was pulled to the ground against Roma, and VAR ignored it.

[SystonFox]

Didn’t they hit both posts in the first minute where it like trickled along the line one to another?

 

almost set the tone.

 

the first goal of the game (vardy left foot) doesn’t get enough air time either imo. Great run by Kante, ball and great finish

I forgot about that chance and Vardy's goal until I saw the highlights, such an eventful game.

That surprises me because I'd only ever be more confident if Parker was taking penalties. But to be fair I think he only took 2 for us?
