You don't get to manage over 1,000 top flight professional football games without picking up at least some degree of nous, after all you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time can you?

Towards the end of Hammers embarrassing showing against one time relegation favourites Everton, Alphonse Areola collected the ball and then 'sprinted' towards the opposition. "Shoot" was the Cry from the crowd, and it was NOT ironic! Areola has a massively powerful kick in his repertoire which also includes being able to accurately throw the ball to the halfway line, IF he had taken a shot he could have caught Pickford off his line and quite possibly scored.

The 0-1 home defeat by Everton meant three losses on the spin, three woeful performances and another FOUR matches in quick succession that could ALL be potential Hammer Horror Shows and not the best of ways to start November, but it is probably more than apt for Halloween!
