Slaven Bilic blamed a flat performance and a very cheap goal as West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke in east London. The Hammers struggled to get going before half-time but took the lead moments after a Bilic reshuffle as Michail Antonios header deflected in off Glenn Whelan.But Adrian gifted Stoke substitute Bojan an equaliser as he rushed from his goal and was beaten to a long ball by Jon Walters. The error denied West Ham a third straight win in front of their own supporters, and Bilic told Sky Sports: It was a mistake. Mistakes happen, and unfortunately he made one because he misjudged the timing.It was very cheap at a crucial moment of the game when youre 1-0 up and playing good. We knew theyd throw bodies up front and hit long balls but still...very cheap goal. Highlights of West Ham 1-1 Stoke The Hammers boss was at a loss to explain his sides lack of threat, remedied only when he made a double change in the second half and sent Antonio and Ashley Fletcher to play as a two-man strikeforce.We looked sharp in training and in the last few games, and there was really no reason. We didnt have a midweek game. It was just...flat.A point is a point and its a fair result but we were looking for three. It wasnt a good game of football and no team deserved to win.Our first half was flat - we didnt start on our front foot. In the second half we improved a lot. We changed it a little bit and we scored the goal.Until they equalised we played good and created some good moments but then we conceded - from our point of view - a very cheap goal and it cost us the result.

The Boston Globe reports that Bulger, 83, has waived his right for a jurys decision on whether he can keep his guns, artwork, jewels and cash, but has stated in a court filing that he will put up a fight to retain the memento commemorating the Canadiens 23rd Stanley Cup victory. "The parties have agreed to exclude a Stanley Cup ring, which the defendant contends was a gift to him by a third-party," said the document. Guilty verdicts on Bulger were handed down on Monday for the murder of 11 people and numerous other criminal offences. Bulger was a model for Jack Nicholsons crime boss character in Martin Scorseses Oscar-winning movie The Departed. The Globe added that Bulger, 83, likely acquired the ring through connections to former Canadiens winger Chris Nilan. According to the paper, Nilan was once married to Karen Stanley, daughter of Mr. Bulgers late girlfriend Teresa Stanley and Bulger paid for the couples wedding. Nilan, who works for TSN Radio 690 in Montreal, released the following statement on Tuesday regarding the ring: "Recent media reports have iinaccurately asserted that James Bulger is in possession of a 1986 Stanley Cup ring given to him by me.dddddddddddd Those reports have no basis in fact. James Bulger was never given a Stanley Cup ring by me at any time. I won a Stanley Cup ring as a member of the 1985-86 Montreal Canadiens. I gave that ring to my father, Henry Nilan. I am currently in possession of that ring as it is being resized as a gift to my son, Christopher. In 1988, Montreal Canadiens general manager Serge Savard heard that I had given my original ring to my Dad and Serge generously presented me with a second Stanley Cup ring which I wear to this day. I commissioned a jeweller here in Montreal to make three womens Stanley Cup rings for my mother, my former wife and my late mother-in-law, Teresa Stanley. My former wife and my mother remain in possession of their rings. Mrs. Stanley wore her ring in her casket and before her burial, at Mrs. Stanleys prior request, that ring was given to my daughter. At no time, to my knowledge, did I or any member of my family give James Bulger a Stanley Cup ring. I have no idea where any ring in Mr. Bulgers possession was made and I hope that this statement provides absolute clarification in this matter." ' ' '
