West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Sir Alf]

Assume other games wont go our way. Just got to find a way of keep getting points is all we have to focus on.  It means getting more players in because our squad ( not necessarily the first choice 11 )  is still one of the 3 weakest in the division Imo

[Westham67]

Forrest 1 up and Brentford

[Westham67]

Chelsea 1 up at Palace

[El Scorchio]

Fair share of bad luck in those games resulting in the lack of wins. Brighton, Forest. 

[Massive Attack]

It's not luck, we only have ourselves to blame for the current position we're in. That's why that 10 game period without a win for example was so damaging to us. 

Hopefully Brentfords ambitions of getting 3rd in the League with a win drives them on to get back in to it.

[goose]

Forest wining.
Can we please have some luck go our way.

The incorrect use of the offside law against Forest is looking pivotal and I can’t believe more noise hasn’t been made about it. 2-0 would likely have been game over, and that would be us on 23 and them on 19. The irony being they are the club that constantly make complaints to the Premier League over officiating. 

That and what I still maintain was a wrong decision for the penalty in that game. There needs to be some joined up thinking.  If Soucek hadn't got his head to it and cleared the free kick, Areola would've connected with the ball and the collision with Gibbs-White would've been irrelevant. How can a team be penalised for a defender making a clearance? Just like Areola was penalised for saving the Brighton player's shot after the handball to 'create a new phase'. Bonkers

I agree completely. I think another good comparison is when a forward gets to the ball before the keeper and gets his shot away that misses the target and the keeper then collides with the forward is never a penalty, the same should apply to examples like Areola and Gibbs-White. In that case, you could argue Gibbs-White collides with Areola as much as the other way around, given neither were playing the ball because Soucek headed it a split second before. It’s obviously going to look worse because a keeper goes with his hands. It’s never a penalty, and I couldn’t believe the number of ex-pro’s saying it was.

Chelsea is a free hit. I'm hoping we go all out to try and win it as we are likely to lose anyway. 

[honky cat]

I dont like relying on other teams but you'd have to fancy brentford at home today. That will take a small bit of pressure off. I do fancy us for a point v chelsea, but as long as we score again and its only a narrow defeat, it will keep heads up for Burnley.

[Far Cough UKunt]

[El Scorchio]

I still think if Palace draw a blank against Burnley and wolves which is maybe unlikely but possible given what’s going on there, then they are bang in trouble. 

[Fauxstralian]

Tottenham’s next four fixtures are
Man City
Man Utd
Newcastle
Arsenal 

[Ron Eff]

I think our fixtures are tricky enough that it’s only really Forest that we can realistically get by, and of they beat Brentford today, even that continues to look a tall order, but plenty of points on offer still. 

The caveat is we are West Ham, and we always seem to have a habit of winning when not expected to, so a win against Wernham Hogg Blues next week to continue our form and you never know.

I think it's a big ask to think anyone above Forest and Leeds will get relegated with the points they already have and the amount of games remaining. It might only seem like 3 points more than Leeds but they are Teams with better players as well that aint just recently been promoted. As nice as the thought is, I just can't see it happening. They'll be uncomfortable no doubt, just can't see them dropping. The 2 that were always in with a serious shout of going down is Forest and Leeds with their limited experience of avoiding the drop. 

[Westham67]

Palace have a heavy February schedule, Chelsea Away, Forrest at Home, Brighton Away, Burnley Home, Conference League, Wolves Home and Conference League 

All the EPL teams have better form than Palace

Watching a documentary on Fabian Hurzeler and seeing all the facilities that Brighton have available to them 
this cսnt Sullivan should be ashamed
I truly hope he knows myself and many other hammers are gonna party like it’s 1999 when he deservedly croaks it 

Where was it on? I wouldn’t mind watching that to see what a really well run club maximising everything available to them actually looks like.

Think it was TNT

Cheers! Will look for it 

[nerd2]

We're catching spurs

[dm]

Bummer.  Normally I like seeing the bin dippers lose, but we could have done with them beating Bournemouth.

Never trust a Scouser

With Xabi Alonso & Klopp available I reckon the bald cսnt Slot will get the bullet in the summer 

[nychammer]

Two of the bottom three have taken four points from those N17 cunts.

their cocky fans thought us and burnley were a nailed on 6. Their forum was great reading last week, you can smell the entitlement
