    He has looked a bit good this year.

    Edit: stating with three at the back is mental

    Our squad is a midfielder short for sure, particularly as it now turns out that Bakayoko is shite.

    When the stats come out for this game I think there will be some incredible feat of blocking shots by West Ham. We haven't been too bad tbh but they're far more determined than any team we've played this year.

    He's a good siege mentality manager I think. Completely unsuited to Manchester United, or nothing clubs like Sunderland where no one has tried hard for more than 20 years, but here he could keep them up.

    lol at Sky saying our title chances are being hurt. If we win this and every game for the rest of the season we still wouldn't win it.

    In terms of his next job, which other clubs fit the Everton/West Ham chippy little 'Big Club' nobodies (who would be top six if the actual Big Clubs didn't get all the decisions) profile? Nobody in the Premiership as far as I can see, so he might have to drop down and manage Leeds.

    Newcastle maybe? Although that has been a graveyard ever since Bobby Robson left.

    Ah, Moyesy. I felt quite happy for him with that double fist pump there. I just hope he isn't under the impression that Arnautovic will try hard again until the next time they're on telly.

    [The] Villa have always seemed to me to have taken their fall from relevance a lot better than the other clubs mentioned. I don't know why. Possibly because it was so fleeting in the first place.

    Any happiness for him is eroded once you see shots of the owners and fans.

    It kind of illustrates what our weakness is, which is we play too much like an Italian team who need loads of time and space to be properly effective, which you don't get against chip-on-shoulder teams away from home. The reason for that is that Fabregas is a wandering minstrel, Kanté does his best to add some dynamism (and without him we'll lose as much as we win) but we need a second busy bee in there to buy time for Fabregas/Hazard, and Bakayoko has been very poor. I don't buy that we shouldn't have sold Matic, though. He was as slow and lazy as it comes and wouldn't have improved this team in the way he may well have helped improve United.

    Stoke are deep and Tottenham have the pace and urgency of a slug. As expected.

    Because it had been coming for five years and the season we went down it was obvious from about the fourth week. We were proper, proper shit.

    Only decent bit of that season was Newcastle turning up looking for revenge from when we sent them down. What they found was a daft party atmosphere and we 'won' out first point in 10 games and ended up taking them down with us

    None of Knockaert, March or Izquierdo started this match for us, but wingback (and part-time winger) Schelotto did. I worry that's Hughton getting scared after we got thumped last week, and we're going to get more and more defensive as the season goes on until we're making West Ham's performance against Man City look like Cruyff's Holland.

    Didn't Hughton do the same at Norwich? It was 9 Defenders and Cameron Jerome.

    Yeah, the consensus from their fans was that he was good for them but the football wasn't the most enjoyable.

    7th and probs Europe is ours for the taking. Another classic Shinji moment as he, terry butcher bandage donned, fails to finish and induces a comedy OG to win the game. Love him.

    Phil Neville reckons that Swansea need to score more goals. I hope the BBC are paying big money for such insight.

    I went to watch us at Wolves yesterday, expecting a bit of a pasting. They probably just had an off day but they weren't great. Ivan Cavaleiro was their best player. How much did they pay for Helder Costa? He was on the bench.
