Interesting stat from BBC:

West Ham's Mark Noble is the first player to score a Premier League goal in each of the 14 years since 2007. Manchester United's Ashley Young is the only other player who can achieve this feature.

Has Noble ever scored 2 goals in a EPL/Champo game? :wahoo:

Many times

And:

Only Alan Shearer (56), Frank Lampard (43) and Steven Gerrard (32) have scored more Premier League penalties than Mark Noble, who is level with Sergio Aguero on 26.

Hopefully there will be an opportunity for the players to fill their boots, goal difference could be huge this year.

Noble running the show :bowdown:

Zab with 799 as made the most tackles in the prem this decade, and with 61 the second most bookings in the same period, also in the same period we sit 8th with 403 points in a league of 37 of points obtained, you can’t beat a stat

One thing that the Moyesiah has to sort out is throw-ins. Every time we get one it goes to the other team, Cresswell being the main culprit.

Bournemouth started brightly

Few counter opportunities for us

Well baz will tell you Liverpool have a throw in coach wonder what that job pays,think as yosser Hughes said “I could do that “

chicagohammer

Wow, my wife should have taken me up on the bet that Cressers would at least make the keeper work,

BubblesNeverDies

They all laughed at him - "winning is what I do".
Where's that pie? :cake:

Anderson :wahoo:

Give Moyes a 10 year contract. Right now.

It was, and a cracking first touch from Anderson.

What a nice position to be in, 4-0 up and we can bring on Lanzini who is still coming back to fitness.

Bazshuayi

one more and I think we might hold on for the win :phew:

I still remember Burnley, 5-0 up, just held on for 5-3

Cressers gets a stupid red.

Wow, overturned.

Really surprised, he got the ball cleanly, but in this day and age that is nearly always a red.

30 years ago not even a card.

chicagohammer

cresswell lost it there, crazy unnecessary challenge

chicagohammer

VAR overturned the red, that was amazing, I thought he was going to walk

Yeoldhammer

4-0 up and issued a red O_O

MIAHammer

What on earth was Cresswell thinking? 4-0 up and he does something silly like that.

OldCastleSwift

VAR loves Moyes

jay_in_cpt

Got the ball 1st, Lee Mason on VAR , always thought he was a top official

MIAHammer

Cresswell's a lucky lucky boy. Let's get him off before he does something silly again.

VAR at its best but not even a yellow in my book.

chicagohammer

That does not strike me as the best use of VAR, is it not intended to catch what the ref misses, was it really a clear and obvious error, Cresswells challenge was certainly rash, the ref saw it and rendered his judgement, in this instance it seems to me that VAR is not assisting the ref, but undermining him

claretandbluesky

If you cannot take the ball cleanly at that low height the game regard tackling is finished.

Arthur coming on for Cresswell
