First, The 2 Robbies take a look at West Ham’s start to their campaign, capped off by a massive 2-1 over Manchester City this weekend.

At St. Mary’s, Southampton have silenced all the critics of their offseason fire sale. Ronald Koeman has taken over the reigns and led Saints to an incredibly hot start, scoring 20 goals in their first nine matches as the club sits in second place on the table. While Robbie Mustoe isn’t sure if they can maintain their form, Robbie Earle thinks Southampton could challenge for a spot in the Champions League.
