Get in!

Another away win, 3rd in league, 17 points, 20 goals scored.

[bad company]

Bloody heck guys, we're third!!!

[RichB]

Was laughing at Mark "Lawro" Lawrenson - BBC Football Expert's predictions If he had his way we'd be 3rd from bottom and Chelsea would be 3rd from top. Nine games into the season and he just doesn't get it does he.

Are we dreaming chaps? Is this all real?

Another superb away win. Well played the Mighty Irons and the legend that is Bilic.

In other news both BFS and the Welsh lost.

I'm off out to a party tonight. Might just have the odd

[RichB]

Don't know about dreaming but we deluded!

According to BFS that is

Another terrific result today . Also think it will be one job too far for BFS.
There were three ex-West Ham players at the Dagenham and Redbridge game today ...

Kenny Brown senior, Kenny Brown junior, and my lad !

Lawrensen is a total tosser.

That's being polite.

I was in a very good mood!

Three great goals yesterday, especially the second one - excellent finish from Lanzini after a quality header from AC.

BFS has a point though - I'm 37 and I can never recall West Ham playing brilliant 'football' so to speak on a regular basis. Growing up we was always known more as a yo-yo club (which I don't think is all true!). Other that TOTO cup and the FA Cup final we haven't been that good, and if we include promotions it shows we are not a regular established Prem Team.

I see plenty of 'fans' giving Gold shi* on twitter about our history at Upton Park etc and that the move is a bad thing to OS. What history?

If we don't move the 'history' will be an average team getting relegated every now and then because that's the view of a lot or people I speak to who are not WHU fans.

I think this is the first year I have really felt that we have a chance of pushing on to a cup win and regular top 10 finish's in the league

[RichB]

All good points, I've been supporting them since 1964 and even with Hurst, Moore and Peters we were pretty st! There are some morons among the boo-boys at UP however I don't think Allardyce has helped putting all this deluded stuff in his book. All a bit tit-for-tat.

[spicjt]

I agree he hasn't - but regardless I thought he did a good job for us and got us where we needed to be. He is just saying what he thinks and nothing wrong with that.

With so much football available I think a lot of people expect their own team to play like Barc!

Regardless lets hope we can keep going and push on for the whole season. COYI's

I'd rather most people in a sporting context hold off "writing" their book(s) until they've been retired for at least 5-yrs.

Agree with you TC, but I guess if we were in their position and had some cash waved under our noses we may think that it was time the world new our "story"...

Anyway, in happier news, we have the most clinical strike force in the Prem according to OPTA. We score 22% of all attempts. That's nearly one in four, not a bad stat at all

True. I'll start the bidding for my biog at £245.00 (I've a car that needs taxing)

[BrabusMog]

I'll start the formation of an orderly queue.

What about the best English striker - Harry Kane - he isn't in top spot?!

[BrabusMog]

Looking forward to watching this one, shame I can't be there. COYI!

[bad company]

I wonder if we are playing Chelski at just the wrong time. Hope I'm wrong but not confident.
