I don't know. United are too dumb to put this one away it seems.

[devo22]

Four in a row, clean sheet, debut for Tyler Fletcher. That'll do.

I know the red card mattered, but we were seemingly never in it. I still relegation is a legitimate concern at this point. I look ahead at Newcastle, Arsenal and Fulham and that doesn’t look great either. Thank god I’ll entirely miss the the NLD and Fulham matches, because that looks like it’ll be a toxic situation.

West Ham have now won 3 out of 4. Relegation battle might get really interesting down the line.

Imagine a world where Arsenal win the league and Spurs get relegated in the same season.
With all the negativity in the world right now, I think humanity needs it.

Are you concerned this is Ole 2.0 though, with a former legend's hot start as interim?

Six teams within 10 points of relegation, and most of West Ham's hardest matches left are at home. After a few years of boring ass relegation battles this one looks like it'll be fun.

We've had so many near misses - over the past few years, I don't care about anyone else. I just want the team to win the title. I only have interest in one Spurs result this season.

Today was a good result - particularly with Gyokeres finding the back of the goal twice.

But typically, just as Gyokeres finds some form, OG goes off the boil.

at this point, no ... I'm honestly just really happy to look forward to United games again. I was pretty skeptical when Carrick took over, but I really like his calmness and professionalism and I think that's exactly what the club needed. This squad has its problems, but it's definitely better than Amorim wanted everyone to believe. His handling of players like Mainoo was nothing but criminal.

We'll see how long they can keep this up. Might just be a hot start, but it's come against some pretty good teams. They are in a pretty decent position for top 4/5 now, especially with Aston Villa finally coming back to Earth.

[Barnet Flame]

You can't fault Carrick's start - it doesn't get much better than beating the top two who happen to be amongst your most hated rivals.

Well we can always just hope for a speeding meteor or alien invasion.

I think that would be best for everybody these days.

#### me what a hit. Arteta needs a change of underwear.

[ForeverFlameFan]

I can watch that Szoboszlai free kick goal 1000x more. My gosh.

Title was wrapped six weeks ago lol. City have never been a real factor. United, as lol as it is the say, are likely the only team who can stop Arsenal and so obviously lol congrats to Arsenal and their fans.

It's not even wrapped up now, plenty of time for Arsenal to choke. Still 13 games. Their fans won't be comfortable until it's a mathematical impossibility they can be caught.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yeah, but even though Arsenal choking is their DNA, who is actually gonna go get it? City? No shot. Villa? Purple patch is over, will be lucky to keep top four. United? Chelsea? Lol to both. Liverpool? Come on. Said it already, but 75 points is surely enough this year and yeah that's quite bad but it is what it is.

Well City a point closer now, I think when you've got Cherki, Bernardo, Gueihi, Donny, Haaland, you've got a chance.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I just don't see it. Maybe if they still had the KDB card to play since he's such an Arsenal killer, but no team has shown enough consistency for me to believe they can mount a serious challenge. Arsenal just had a big wobble month and they came out further ahead in points. It's their time.

[Slava]

The automatic yellow for players taking their shirt off is so dumb.
