West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[onsideman]

It's entirely possible that one of the teams above us will go on to do the same 
Better to do it in Dec/Jan than in March/April
We don't need a miracle.

Yet!

Have to agree with Manuel. The 1 in 12 will very probably be the deciding factor in our fate.
With a little courage and conviction, that return could and should have read 9/12.

[Manuel]

Yep. They're full of confidence and we need someone to burst their bubble good and proper.

They've had one defeat in 11

And that was a 100th min winner for Newcastle. Arsenal will be desperate to bounce back so would fancy them.

Need Arsenal to turn up against Leeds at the weekend.  That would make a probable defeat at Chelsea less of a blow.  

[Manuel]

We need to be two points behind Leeds going into the last game, so need to make up 4 point on them.

[Manuel]

For me it's Leeds we should be targeting, we have them at home and they have a very tough Feb. Still not confident though, that 1 point from 12 has fucked us IMO.

[Alfs]

Leeds will be fine.  It's between us, Forest and Palace, IMO.

I don't agree

I hope you're right.  Leeds were cruising when I posted.

[Slim Shady]

Good time to player Chelsea. They are away at Napoli on Wednesday & then have Arsenal in the semi final 2nd leg on Tuesday.

[Westham67]

Point at Chelsea or more 
 

[Sir Alf]

We’d have taken a draw at HT.  Not ideal but after that first hslf Everton wete lucky to only be 1 down.  

How the fvck we get something at Chelsea gawd knows. We meet teams on new manager bounces a lot. Could have dome with facing Maresca’s Chelsea. Same witj the Mancs. We meet Carrick’s rejuvenated side. 

Still feels like we went down over xmas with those results but I suppose the “patient still has a pulse” metaphorically speaking.

[onsideman]

Leeds will be fine.  It's between us, Forest and Palace, IMO.

I don't agree
Although we also play Palace, the timing of the Leeds game is such that we just need 4 more points than them in the next 14 games and then beat them on the final day. 4 points more in a possible 42

Should've been 3 but for a Moyes special tonight 

[onsideman]

Was wondering why Dewsbury-Hall wasn't starting
Found out after he came on
His form has fallen off a cliff

Nearly a second for Everton. They didn’t look ever scoring one so two would be a massive shock.

[stubbo-admin]

It's some what typical that the season we choose to go to real shit, so does the top 4, whilst the teams that come up display a strong degree of competence.

Looking like a 40+ points to stay up season...much higher than in recent times.

At this point it's somewhat pointless looking at other teams results....we need to pick the games that get us to ~37-38 points, and then hope Leeds are either 17th and catchable, or totally out of it by the last day.

• Chelsea (A) - 0
• Burnley (A) - 3
• Man Utd (H) - 0
• Bournemouth (H) - 3
• Liverpool (A) - 0
• Fulham (A) - 1
• Man City (H) - 0
• Aston Villa (A) - 0
• Wolves (H) - 3
• Palace (A) - 3
• Everton (H) - 3
• Brentford (A) - 1
• Arsenal (H) - 0
• Newcastle (A) - 0
• Leeds (H) - 3

That's my prediction for how we can make it to the 40 points mark.  I reckon there's a good chance we'll need 41 or even 42 this season though.

That Brentford, Leeds, and Wolves game are going to relegate us.  The only hope is we've scored first A LOT.  14 points lost from winning positions, means we are getting ourselves into winning positions.  If that continues we've a chance at least.

15 games to attack and try and find 6 wins, and hope to sneak a couple of draws along the way.  Hopefully the injection of the Paco cսnt instills the attitude to go for it.

 

[Tomshardware]

Come on.

[Westham67]

1-1 TOFFEES 

[onsideman]

Thank fuck for that

[onsideman]

It was all about Grealish for them. Without him they're dire

[Hermit Road]

Everton look terrible. They'll be flirting with relegation next season 

[Alfs]

Leeds will be fine.  It's between us, Forest and Palace, IMO.

[Tomshardware]

Lucky it's only 1-0,  Everton must surely be better in 2nd half.  Draw wouldn't be a disaster, yes I'm clutching at straws.

[Sir Alf]

Leeds should be 2 or 3 up.  Everton second to everything and look slow and lethargic as we often did under Moyes. Been struggling at the new stadium.

Leeds have been looking good for a while so we aint catching them. Forest look a tough nut defensively yesterday. We are gonna need to win half our remaining games. Cant see it happening because outside a decent first 11, our squad is painfully weak and Sullivan foimg nothing about it.  

Despite a couple of wins nothing much has changed. It just seems those wins are to make relegation as slow and painful as possible

 

[fraser]

Yep we're destined and we deserve it..
