Well said. So, we are 9 games into the season and three managers have already been sacked. On track for a record number of sackings? Who is next?

Hughes must be close too... shocker start after a 13th last term...

Sacked or Leave

Dyche dismissed the Leicester job, why would he go to a lower club who sacks their manager after only 9 games.

Harry Kane ruled out of the Man U game, thinking I'm lucky being in the air between Singapore and Adelaide when the game is on now.

Martial gives United the lead late on. Great flick on by Lukaku but Dier was poor

United win 1-0. Spurs had the better of a pretty ordinary first half but we got a bit more adventurous in the second half and whilst both sides had decent chances though we were worthy of the win

I joked earlier in the year about our only recruit at the time being a 3rd string goalie. Well he helped us beat Palace 1-0 tonight!
Cant see Palace staying bottom 3 if they play like tonight and recently. Reault could have easily have gone anyway tonight.

Saints played you off the park, total dominance with the ball - pretty clear you were playing for a point from the start. If we play like that every week our luck will change & we’ll win a lot more. Burnley had one shot on target and made it count, however Forster was very slow to react to a shot he should be saving. Burnley’s keeper made some tremendous saves to keep them in it & ultimately help them snatch all three.

A spokesperson for the Football Association has confirmed that West Ham United will be double-relegated this season if they finish in the bottom three of the Premier League.

The decision means that if they cannot avoid the drop, they will begin the 2018/2019 season in League 1, with an FA statement confirming that football’s governing body is ‘sick of all this yo-yo shit.’

They added: ‘They’re not good enough for the Premier League – we don’t have a problem with that.’

’However, the issue that we have is that every time they end up in the Championship they manage to come back up again and dance around banging their fists together like they have just discovered fire or something.’

’They stick a DVD out called ‘Back Where We Belong’ or something, so why do they keep insisting on getting ******* relegated?’

’Applying a double-relegation will mean that another team gets to have a go – the only alternative was to create some sort of halfway house mezzanine league but the prospect of just having West Ham and Crystal Palace playing each other 38 times in one season didn’t really appeal to Sky and BT.’

With the club currently in crisis after an appeal to have their monumental Coconut Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur converted into 15 Premier League points was turned down, club bosses are now in talks with Newham Council to explore other ways in which the club can be sustained by local taxpayers.

According to sources, a combined swoop for Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez could be funded by closing all schools in the borough and deporting all of the over 70’s to Chalkwell.

We had a game plan and played it perfectly
We've become very hard to break down. Possession means nothing, and we are happy to concede it.

We'll take the 3 points though and push on for a CL berth ;)
