Hammers stalwart defender Angelo Ogbonna has been ruled out for most, if not all of this season following a scan on his injury sustained during the epic 3-2 victory over Liverpool on Sunday. It has been confirmed that 'The Angel' has a dreaded ACL injury which requires surgery straight away.

Back in the day an ACL injury was the end of most players careers, fortunately medicine has moved on and the recovery rate is far better, however at the age of 33 the overall prognosis is NOT encouraging, we obviously wish Angelo a speedy recovery from a swift and successful operation.

Whisper it very quietly, or loudly if you wish, but David Moyes' managerial redemption has gathered enormous pace just as some of his contemporaries are on the receiving end of the tin tack. In a week that saw THREE Premier League managers, Farke, Smith and Santos get their marching orders, David Moyes oversaw his 1000 game during the week, followed by possibly one of the stand out games of his career in management, the 3-2 defeat on Sunday of Jurgen Klopp's all conquering Liverpool side.
