Bilic buoyed by West Ham beginning - 'It's like a pub full of girls!'

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has likened the talent at his disposal at Upton Park to a gentleman walking into a pub full of beautiful women.


The Hammers have started the 2015/16 Premier League season in scintillating fashion, and are currently sitting in third spot, with four wins from their opening six matches.

Even more impressive is the fact that three of those victories have come against Premier League heavyweights Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Speaking after his side's 2-1 win over City on Saturday, Bilic told reporters he was relishing the opportunity to work with a squad of supremely talented footballers on a weekly basis.

"It is like when you go to a pub that is full of girls," Bilic explained.

"Of course you will like it! Of course I like it when we are winning! It is brilliant!"
