West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[eusebiovic]

After zero points against Forest, Fulham and Wolves over Christmas I thought we were done and dusted.

There was nothing at all to suggest there was any fight or spirit in the team. To think that Potter thought the shower he began the season with was competitive makes the mind boggle.

I remember losing 6-0 away to fucking Reading of all teams when Curbishley was here but then Tevez pulled his finger out when he could of easily fucked off like the bloke he arrived with did. 

What a dude

We are just going around in circles now and changing our minds every week, so maybe it is just a case of concentrating on ourselves. Most are saying it's Forest now and not Leeds we have to catch, but there is a high chance after these midweek fixtures that Forest and Leeds will be on the same points.


We need to win some other games apart from the 'winnable' ones, if we are serious about staying up then we need to turn Man Utd over.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up

[Mex Martillo]

Yes, it is tough to pass Forest as they have similar form to us, 8 points last 5 games and we have 9 points last 5 games. So either we need to improve even further our form or we need Forests form to go down. Either is difficult to see happening. Leeds are the same form (8 points, from 5), but we need 6-7 points to catch them. If Spurs form (2 points from 5) does not pick up and our form is maintained we would finish above them by the end of the season. Difficult to see Spurs not picking up more points though. Brighton are similar form is 3 from 5, but we need 8-9 points to catch them. Palace´s form is 5 from 5 and we need 9-10 points to catch them. Newcastle's form is 4 from 5 and we need 10-11 points to catch them. Bournemouth's form is 11 from 5 and we need 11-12 points to catch them. We need to keep our form or improve and see what other teams do. We need someone to nose-dive.
As said it would help a lot if we get points against ManU as by Wednesday we can easily be back to 6 points adrift.

[Gary Strodders shank]

Looking at ours and the teams above fixtures i still think we have to win on Tuesday and against Bournemouth to have a decent shout at staying up.

The points we clawed back on Forrest could easily be given back as they face Wolves at home on Wednesday.

If we were to beat United it would ramp up the pressure and you never know with that will do particularly with that loon of an owner on their case 

I think Dyche would  probably have enough nous to keep them up but a couple of tough European fixtures and increasing pressure from upstairs could change all that. 

Leeds have some tough fixtures but would have to go into freefall and as much as I would love to see Tottenham relegated I just can't see it and also think Palace despite some issues will have more than enough to get over the line.

If we can still be in the mix come April we have a good chance to win all three fixtures.

The danger is that we run out of road.
.
It's all ifs and buts but we just need to be positive and try and get those wins on the board regardless of the opposition.

One win in two I still think will definitely keep us up but that is easier said than done

Can't see Brighton going down. 

[Tomshardware]

Leeds will pull clear, they score goals for fun.  Forest, Palace, Spurs, Brighton are the teams I think it will come down to.

[Massive Attack]

Leeds are definitely still catchable. 

[fraser]

Last week everyone thought Leeds were catchable we were 6 points behind but Forest weren't, one week later still 6 points behind Leeds but now they're uncatchable weird WHO logic

[Massive Attack]

We win enough of our own games and it drags others into it.

100% agree. We are already clawing our way back on those pitiful Spurs cunts for instance who are in freefall, so you're quite right.

[goose]

GD is going to fuck us

It’s only 4 goals to Forest, one defeat for them vs one win for us will bring that back towards us.

[nychammer]

Its going to be a marathon we just have to keep winning and stay in touch for now. IF we beat Man Utd and Bournemouth and Forest Beat Wolves and lose to Liverpool we MIGHT be out of the bottom 3 depending on the GD.  At some point we do need Forest to blink for us to overtake them.

 

[Far Cough UKunt]

GD is going to fuck us

[goose]

Yeh unless spurs completely fall apart it’s us vs forest.
13 games and we need to get 3 or 4 more than them depending on GD.

[zico]

Think it's us or Forest, although I would love it to be Spurs.

[RBshorty]

Make it easy on ourselves as fans by expecting no help from any other team is my thinking?

We got ourselves into this mess and will have to dig ourselves out somehow.  The odds stacked against us since xmas

“CORRECTAMUNDO.!”

Will just have to rely on our results to get past 40 
Brighton helping out their fellow gays today

[onsideman]

They've looked dreadful today to be fair

[Tomshardware]

Brighton are 3 wins short of reaching 40. Where are those wins coming from?

We win enough of our own games and it drags others into it.

Just looked at Brightons fixtures after today, a tough run of games apart from Forest at home.   They are definitely in the mix.

Well I'm enjoying this season more than I have enjoyed one for a while.   Something on every game and still in the Fa Cup with a good chance of being in the fifth round.

Yea there is something to be said for every game being vital rather than mid-table games, and the FA Cup is still huge, don't worry about that.
