I wasn’t expecting that.
What a great start to the season this is. Lay down a marker at Leeds in midweek and let’s tear up this league.
We’ve the squad to do it!

We've not even been at our best very often either with the team still bedding in.
Really think this might be a special season. Beat Leeds Tuesday and I think we Coul d be breaking records.

When I saw the fixtures I thought one of Leeds and Swansea were dead certs to win today, but this league strikes again! As long as you average 2 points a game, you'll get the top 2 spots.
Full credit to Bilic and the team, to come through the summer we've had with the churn of players and injuries to key men and be top after 9 games is excellent, especially given it feel we've a lot more in the tank.

Today was our best performance. Previously performances haven't really impressed, overall.
The key is, as a team we look very dangerous in periods. Compare that to this time last year, when we played poor we were bailed out by individuals. Not this season, we feel more like a team.
I can honestly see us clicking as a unit and smashing this league. Then the pessimistic twat kicks in, and can see us throwing simple games away and making it difficult!

It feels better than last year.
Jan will be key. Can we keep our loan players (not sure if any can be recalled) and add a Gayle-esque finisher to the squad?

So long as promotion looks likely we'll happily buy Perreria I imagine, he's showing his class every time he steps on the pitch.
Can;t see West Ham recalling Diangana, most of their fans feel he needs a full season here, there isn't a lot of pressure on them to do something to improve urgently as it stands, he'l lbe here all season.
