The main event may have been at Anfield on Sunday, but there were a few decent bouts on the undercard too. It was a decent weekend for us as both Chelsea and Arsenal dropped points, but Spurs and United both rolled over hapless losers in the shape of Everton and Stoke respectively. I’ll get to all that in good time though.
I’ll kick things off with West Ham, who are having something of a surprising revival under Moyes. I have no idea how that is happening, and let’s be honest, Moyes probably doesn’t either. Nevertheless, they’re picking up points and no longer look to be in too much trouble.
Huddersfield conceded the stupidest goal of the weekend when their determination to play out from the back presented Mark Noble with a gift to make it 1-0. It was fucking ridiculous. West Ham had pushed right up to the edge of the box to prevent the keeper passing it out, everybody was marked, but he just went and did it anyway, putting the wonderfully named Joe Lolley in all sorts of trouble. He lost the ball and Noble fired the Hammers in front.
Lolley made amends soon after when he curled in a brilliant equaliser, but West Ham ran away with it in the second half as Arnautovic found the net 10 seconds after the restart and they never looked back. Lanzini scored twice but that’s probably not enough to make up for the ludicrous showboating he’d been guilty of earlier when he tried to lob the keeper with a rabona from 20 yards.
I’d have wrung his neck if I was his manager there. He’s a good player, I quite like him, but that’s a massive red flag that. He’s one of the players we might be looking at to replace Coutinho and apparently there are people at the club who do like him, but imagine Klopp if one of his players wasted a chance by doing that shit?
Anyway, moving on. Everton’s revival has hit the skids and they had yet another game without a shot on target as they were spanked by Spurs. Son and Kane did most of the damage, while Eriksen also got on the scoresheet late on. It was embarrassingly one sided and Spurs just had their own way without even really breaking sweat.
Son was great and everyone seems to love him. I like him too, but these stupid fucking handshakes are turning me off. I think he might actually have been the criminal mastermind behind that shit that Kane and Alli were doing last season
Speaking of handshakes, this might be the worst video I've ever seen, and bear in mind a few weeks ago I saw a video of some poor defenceless lad being shot and killed by a copper in the US. You'll hate me for inflicting this on you, but one of my mates inflicted it on me so tough shit.
Handshake goals with Pogba and Lingard
