I mean recent Prem results aside we came 6th last season, have gotten through to the QF of the League Cup and topped our Europa League group so this lucky run sure is going on a long time

I agree with you Zizu.

Obviously I'm no Villa fan, but he took a team that were a mess of a club, and he had them playing some decent Football that I haven't seen Villa play before in my lifetime (especially the 7-2 game against an incredible Liverpool team) yet the first sign of trouble comes and they don't even give him a chance to fix it? That's pretty cold from the owners imo.

I just want to add btw well done to West Ham, I bet that LT & MTVN are chuffed with the result.

It was two great teams going head to head with each other.

And I'm with you Alf as I still wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool still win the Premier League this season.

Well he’s lost Grealish plus the new players haven’t had time to settle .

This is a nonsense decision..

They got lucky so many times today ..

The first goal ... the missed sending off for that horrendous assault on Henderson.

The missed foul on Mane which lead to the breakaway goal ( with the fortunate finish )

Souček could have been sent off twice for repetitive fouls ..



Mane would have scored two or three any other day .

There was nothing wrong with the first goal, Alisson just floundered in goal which does happen sometimes in Football.

Admittedly the foul on Henderson was lucky to not result in a red card.

Keepers generally get protection though and the guy stopped him from getting the ball .... he knew what he was doing

Never been a side so entitled as Liverpool who think they deserve to win every game, opposition always get lucky, always screwed over by decisions etc

Sometimes you just need to take it on the chin

Really well done to West Ham.
This has been some great results notched up recently and hard won too.

That was just a coming together .. He was actually pulling out of the impact ..he jumped with his back facing the guy as well so it's ridiculous to suggest intent

Massive win for West Ham over former champions Liverpool.

Well done.

Klopp is a bad ungracious loser

But we are not surprised

Great to see Celtic the only team not to have a poppy on their shirt

Only team to ruin the minutes silence (again)

Vile just vile

Arsenal have done well to turn it around, but what West Ham has done so far is more impressive imo.

yes quite surprising, 3-2 win for West Ham over Liverpool

always had seen West Ham myself as pretty inconsistent, but good to see they have upped their game recent years


you can also see how David Moyes fits in perfectly with them compared to how he flopped at Man United (but honestly Sir Alex's legacy was a bit too high expectations for him)

There were too many big timers at Manchester United at the time Moyes took over and they let him down, they never performed to their standards the way they did for Fergie, and a lot of their greedy fans were against Moyes from the start. Given time he'd have built his own team that would have bought into his philosophy.

At Everton and West Ham, he's built teams where he gets the best out of players.

One of the great managers in Premier League history.

I can’t abide counter attack teams so I’m biased ..


It will be interesting to see how they manage when Antonio has his next injury lay-off - he’s only managed 168 games on the last 7 seasons - Barca’s 18 yr old Pedri played over 80 last season ( including the Euros and the Olympics)
