Four down, two to go!

So we beat Arsenal at the Emirates 2-0 on the opening day of the new season to set the tone under our new manager. The first time in eight years we had beaten the Gooners when Bobby Zamora scored the only goal when we became the first team to beat Arsenal at the Emirates.

Then came that historic 3-0 win against Liverpool at Anfield, the first time in 52 years to beat the Reds away from home. In 1963 we relied on Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst to score our score our goals in the old money division one before the Premier League was even dreamed of.

Next came a 2-1 win against former champions Manchester City at the Ethiad, West Ham had never beaten Man City away in the League at their new stadium. Our last league away win came in 1982 at Maine Road when Paul Goddard scored the only goal.

Last weekend it was Chelsea’s tun to come under Slav’s sword with a 2-1 home win against the reigning champions. We beat the Blues as recent as 2012 when Carlton Cole, Mo Diame and Maiga scored in a 3-1 win. Collins and Tomkins also played in that win to remember on a December day.

These four wins have already made the 2015/2016 a season to remember already but we have two important games coming up to complete a magnificent half dozen run  by Super Slav.  On Sunday 22nd November we take on our old foes Spurs at White Hart Lane, then on Saturday 5th December we play Manchester United at Old Trafford. Away wins against both of these teams this season would raise Slaven Bilic to god like status among Hammers folklore and hopefully we can add to the impressive graphic above very soon.
