  1. 'I don't understand why Arsenal aren't up with Chelsea'published at 12:35 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, speaking on Goals On Sunday on Sky Sports, has been giving his views on the current Arsenal squad as well as their boss Arsene Wenger.

    "I don't understand why they are not up there with Chelsea and Manchester City," says Mourinho. "Arsenal are a team I like very much. They have very good players and Alexis (Sanchez) is a very important player to add to what they have got. They are a team for more."

    On Arsene Wenger, Mourinho says: "He has a dream job, everyone would love to have the security he has of being manager year after year after year. He won so many titles in a certain period and that gave him that credibility he deserves. He is obviously a fantastic manager. He has a fantastic situation to be successful.

    "When you look at the players in the squad, they are capable of playing very good football."

    Maggie, Lowestoft: Sloppy, sloppy Spurs. You cannot give the ball away so cheaply. West Ham have been no threat at all and they have been gifted a goal. Spurs drive me crazy!

    Don Uorri: Mousa Dembele showing again he's not good enough for the top, too slow and careless on the ball, his fault for the goal.

    West Ham would only be two points behind their London neighbours Tottenham if they hang on to win this. Spurs look a mess at the back.

    No surprise that Andy Carroll enjoyed that West Ham goal. A booming header.

    The Hammers have goalscorer Cheikhou Kouyate and Diafra Sakho down injured after separate incidents but after a lengthy stoppage they are both back with us.

    West Ham have scored their 15th header of the season, more than any side managed last season (Liverpool with 14).

    And they go close to a second goal, again a cross is not dealt with by Spurs, it runs through to Enner Valencia and his shot is well saved by Hugo Lloris, square in the face.

    Moments later Harry Kane tees up Ryan Mason to drag one wide from 18 yards. Great game now, it's opening up...

    "That's a great chance. A delicate little through ball and Danny Rose got to it ahead of Adrian, who was punching at thin air, but Rose was half looking at the goalkeeper. Rose was brave but couldn't direct his header on target."

  8. CLOSE!published at 12:26 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Another string to Harry Kane's bow, a chipped pass over the top from deep midfield, Danny Rose reads it well and gets there before Adrian, but his header loops onto the roof of the net!.

    How are Spurs losing this?

    Spurs respond well to force a corner which is eventually thrashed over the top by Jan Vertonghen. Can they force an equaliser?

  10. Mourinho on crime and punishmentpublished at 12:23 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Jose Mourinho has been on fine form this morning (see 11:18 and above), complaining of unfair treatment after Sky Sports used the word 'crimes' to describe some of the controversial moments in Diego Costa's career. The striker got a three-game ban for stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can and only returned to Premier League action on Saturday.

    Here's some of your reaction.

    Harry Partridge: Never heard Jose criticise refs when decisions have gone his way. Everyone can see through his mind games these days!

    Charles Meyrick: Just awful refereeing this weekend in the Premier League. Referees have been of a poor standard all season really.

    Alex, Fulham: I used to think Jose Mourinho was a breath of fresh air to the Premier League with his personality and charisma. Nowadays his constant whining is starting to get a bit dull...

    "A tremendous move, and there have been warning signs. Lovely combination down the left-wing and a delightful cross clipped up by Aaron Cresswell. Hugo Lloris had no chance with Cheikhou Kouyate's powerful header. Pick that one out.

    "After spending the first 15 minutes of today's game on the back foot West Ham were growing in to it and starting to have an influence on this game. It's a typical Sam Allardyce performance."

    It's been a weekend of fine headers, and there's another one for the list! What a header from Cheikhou Kouyate!

    Spurs are to blame though, Mousa Dembele turning into trouble on the edge of his own area, needlessly losing the ball and West Ham are in business. They work the overlap nicely to free Aaron Cresswell on the left, he stands up a cross and Kouyate mercilessly buries the header. Brilliant finish.

  13. Postpublished at 12:20 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Better from West Ham in the last few minutes, they have penned Spurs back for the first time and force Eric Dier into a nervous-looking backpass which wrongfoots Hugo Lloris. Have they weathered the early Tottenham storm?

  14. 'Van Gaal will have time to win titles'published at 12:19 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, speaking on Sky Sports, talks about Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal. Mourinho worked under the Dutchman when the pair were at Barcelona.

    Mourinho says: "He is a fantastic coach and it's easy for me to say as I know him so well and he is a fantastic person. But he has been in so many years of his career before he came to England. In the same way a player needs time to adapt to understand things to perform at the highest level it is the same for Louis.

    "He will have time to make Manchester United win titles again. This season they still gave a chance to do that with the FA Cup and they also have the opportunity to finish in the top four and go back to the Champions League, which is the minimum for a team like them.

    "When you see the titles he has won and his experience, I don't see any reason why they can't be pushing for titles."

  15. Postpublished at 12:17 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    The first mistake I think I've seen Harry Kane make for Spurs, a loose touch gives the ball away and starts a West Ham counter attack. This is why the home fans love him though, as Stewart Downing cuts in to shoot, Kane is the man getting back to make the block.

  16. Postpublished at 12:14 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    West Ham have been caught out by this early kick-off, it's a very sleepy start from Big Sam's boys. All Spurs, and if they get one it could be a hatful.

    "Big moment. A great run from Harry Kane, but the ball pitched up and Winston Reid just did enough to cover. Kane was in behind James Tomkins on the turn though. You just feel if Spurs can have 10-15 minutes more of this pressure they will get ahead."

  18. Europa League - good or bad?published at 12:12 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    This morning we'd like to hear your thoughts on how competing in the Europa League can affect a club's domestic campaign.

    Adam, Newbury: It's fascinating what effect European football has on the domestic competitions. Hopefully Mauricio Pochettino can rotate his squad enough to keep momentum going in all competitions! Christian Eriksen will be missed though!

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    West Ham have made 16 passes to Spurs' 71 so far. Stats aren't always a barometer of a game but that's a pretty accurate one. West Ham haven't had a sniff.

    Harry Kane! Hits the post! His first strike on goal is a scruffy one, scuffed past Adrian and against the base of the post. Goodness me that was close...

    That strike has invigorated Spurs, they are on top now. Nabil Bentaleb has another shot saved and Spurs now win a free-kick in a dangerous area. Christian Eriksen would fancy this. If he wasn't on the bench...

    Erik Lamela trumps Harry Kane to take the strike but hits the wall. Tame.
