It's best not to get too carried away. Thanks to Mystic Matt for pointing out that the last time West Ham had this successful a start to a season was in 1975-76 when West Ham ended up finishing 18th. WHU were unbeaten in their first nine league games but astonishingly didn't win for the final 16 matches, picking up only five points. The last victory that season was on January 24. The side did reach the Cup Winners Cup Final, losing 4-2 to Anderlecht, but it was a classic case of a team being distracted by a European run. I still have painful memories of watching the 6-1 away defeat at Arsenal on The Big Match. Had social media been around there would have been a lot of meltdowns. It was just the sort of flakiness that David Moyes has seemingly eliminated. Hopefully this time round we'll keep going!

I was at that game! At least we scored first (Billy Jennings)
Very annoyingly we then went and played superbly in beating Eintracht Frankfurt...
