Well it was another action packed weekend across world football, of course. Huddersfield Town stunned Manchester United while Liverpool's shoddy defence was once again exposed, this time by Tottenham Hotspur. The Serie A season continues to look as though it'll be it's most competitive in years. And Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded his second consecutive FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year award.
Here are all the stories that mattered from the week that was in football. (In 140 characters or less)

It all began on Friday night when West Ham were obliterated at home by Brighton and Hove Albion, and let's just say Hammers fans were not impressed…

West Ham usually have the decency to wait until 5pm Saturday to ruin my weekend. They've outdone themselves this week though.

I've seen West Ham lose 5-0 to Notts Forest & 6-0 to Man City in the space of 3 days. Seen us play 352 times. That is the most embarrassing.

Drawing at Anfield and Winning in Benfica doesn't suggest the team is in a frame of mind to lose at Huddersfield ! https://t.co/5e9zx9fiBd

A new trend emerged after Liverpool were destroyed by Tottenham on Sunday…
Klopp is NOT good enough, realise the truth. I do not care how good we *can* be going forward, no defence = no title challenge #kloppout

Just left Wembley. My son is in tears. He won't stop crying, saying he wants to support Man City instead. Absolutely fuming. #KloppOut

Others were asking questions legitimate questions…
Since Mignolet's debut for Liverpool in August 2013, he has made more errors leading to a goal than any other player in the Premier League.

Problem under Rodgers was conceding goals. 4 out of the back 5 still Rodgers signings two years on that can't be right.

Burn…
It's as hard to defend Liverpool as it is for Liverpool to defend.

Do Liverpool actually work on defending in training?! #TOTLIV
