David Moyes "How have we not got three points?"

David Moyes was once again left ruing refereeing decisions and the use of VAR as West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw at Southampton on Sunday.

There were several controversial moments in the contest, from Southampton's opening goal to some interesting defending from a set piece. The former Everton boss was left unimpressed with some decisions.

"How have we not got three points?" Moyes said. "The real reason is the referee, the referee gets in the way of the ability for us to defend.
"The ball comes out and Jarrod Bowen goes to get the ball and the referee blocks Jarrod Bowen from getting to it and the boy scores from it

"Ridiculous, it really is. Wait until you see the angles and the pictures and you will soon see how terrible it is that he allows it to go on. You can't get in the way of somebody getting it and allowing it to go and it ends up as a goal.

"I asked him (Bankes) about it, but I spoke to him more about the penalty kick. The penalty kick on Tomas Soucek is a judo move by the player who is marking him."There must be new rules in football, so you should check out the new rules which are that you can grab them right around the waist and you can hold them and then you can put them in a judo move, where you slam them down

"He gets him and throws him right down, it's unreal. It's not the referee, it is VAR. Whoever was on VAR today needs to go to Specsavers, I've got to say."

Sacking Chris Hughton - Is it the right decision?

Another season has come to an end. This is the period where you will see managers come and go and players come in and depart clubs. The 2018/19 has now come to and end and Brighton finished in 17th place. I believe that if you had offered that to them most Brighton fans would have accepted a third successive season of Premier League football. Add onto that, The Seagulls also made the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Chris Hughton has paid the price for Brighton's poor form in 2019. This decision however, seems extremely harsh. Here is his overall record in charge of the club. Games: 215 Wins: 88 Draws: 57 Defeats: 70 That works out to a win percentage of around 40% that is not bad for a team that's budget is pennies compared to some in the Premier League. Brighton staying in the top flight is an achievement in its self and something that should not be looked over. Hughton took over at Brighton back in 2014 when the club was struggling at the bottom of t...
