The Haircut Match, Can United Save a Fan From Himself?
Hello all, rumor has it that league games played on Tuesdays are twice as much fun compared to weekends. I think it has something to do with the added game of alt+tabbing whenever your boss is around.
On that note, we donβt condone hiding that you watch the Premier League while you work, we CONDONE getting your boss hooked on the league and them giving your whole office 2 hour lunch breaks during games. (You can thank us later.)
Today is all about Unitedβs potential fifth straight win (if you know you know) If you donβt know why that matters, keep scrolling to find out.

Who would have ever expected a Manchester United match would be more about hair than football? For that we can thank Frank Ilett, the United fan who pledged to not cut his hair until United wins five games in a row. Well itβs been 493 days now, and his hair looks like a nest small eagles could live in. Will this be the game, as United arrive in London flying high (like an eagle) under Michael Carrick, unbeaten in four straight league matches and losing just one of their last nine away Premier League games. Their road form has been powered by Bruno Fernandes, whoβs racked up 10 goal involvements in his last eight away appearances and already matched the clubβs single-season record for away assists.
West Ham, will look to have the lad remain hairy and dateless, as they have turned this fixture into a problem for United. The Hammers have won four of the last six league meetings and each of the last three at the London Stadium, while Jarrod Bowen has scored three times in his last five against the Red Devils. Despite a generally poor home record, West Ham have won three of their last four league games overall, edging closer to safety and making one United fan very very uneasy.
