West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[,]

Could we be doing a Wigan 2013?

Winning the FA Cup but also being relegated third bottom with 36 points.

[Sarge]

We were struggling the year Blackburn won the league.

We beat them at home 

Then had to take 3 points in the last 4 days from Liverpool and man at home. 

Job done in the first game and we all know what happenend in the second

Pep has a touchline ban next week, not that it makes any difference.

 

Doubt if half their first team were banned it would make any difference 

Hard to be confident innit, but you never know. Feel more nervous for Forest V Fulham.

 

Forest have a midweek game, as to  City. That all works in our favour. I could see that Forest game being a draw quite easily.

It's OK the Jewish strong supporting Spurs have had some welcome divine intervention during such troubling times... (And no it doesn't appear to be AI)

[Mex Martillo]

Fantasy league have a fixture rating thing and it looks like this:
Leeds have, 1 hard game, 5 intermediate and 3 easy, form is 5 pts last 6 games
Spurs have, 4 hard, 2 intermediate and 3 easy, form is 1 pt
Forest have, 3 hard, 4 intermediate and 2 easy, form is 3 pts
We have, 5 hard, 2 intermediate and 2 easy, form is 8 pts

[Pshyco scored all 4]

I've supported west ham long enough to realise the tougher the Run in the better . Look at our run in during the tevez season . I'm pretty confident we'll survive. But if dwarfs here next season Curtains. 

[Too Much Too Young]

I hear Lasagne has been on the Spurs training ground menu for the last 20 years..
 

[Westside]

Think I saw a stat yesterday that mathematically we have the 2nd hardest run in out of everyone.  Our opponents average position is 9.3

Forest is something like 9.6

Sp*rs is 13. Something 

 

This week just gone, mathematically Spurs were playing a side 6 points above them, at home. We were playing a side 15 points above us, away, who had won their previous two games.

Stats can be very misleading...there are lots of underlying factors which they don't account for including injuries, form, fixture congestion and the fatigue that goes with it. It's been regularly proved that at the tail end of a season the probability of stats which are measured at an earlier point in the season usually get quite a bit wrong.

I've been accused of much worse from better people so crack on...

I’m almost hoping Arsenal will have wrapped up the league by our game & will be as said concentrating on the Champions League
And have in mind that losing to us might relegate Tottenham 
That would make it their greatest ever season 

[Fauxstralian]

Man City are away at Real Madrid next Wednesday before our game on the Saturday night. They are then home to Real on the next Tuesday
Two massive games either side which we have to take advantage of
Its about time we beat them 

[nychammer]

On paper we have the toughest run-in as we still have to play 5 of the matches against teams currently in the top 10.
Compare that to 4 for Tottenham, 4 for Forest and 3 for Leeds.

Our 3 matches in April should decide it

          

 

dont forget City, Spurs, Forest and Arsenal all have Euro competition to worry about going in to April. They will be caught in two minds where we (FA Cup aside) should be prepared, fresher and fired up for every game.

Arsenal would have won the league by then and hopefully they will still be in the champions league and rest a lot of players.

Before their last Home game of the season against Everton they have 5 Away games and 3 Home games. Even if they suddenly got their act together supporting their Club, they've only got limited Home games to get behind them now. They will want to hope they are still in with a chance of staying up before it gets to the last game of the season.

I would however laugh my fucking cock off if our game against Leeds at Home required us both to only draw to stay up as they went down because of it. Could you imagine the Spurs uproar if that happened to play out.

[Nutsin]

[Massive Attack]

What I didn't realise about Spurs run-in is they also have to play Leeds as well as Forest. On paper easy games but in reality they are nightmare fixtures in this current situation. A Spurs Team that has somehow managed to go on a longer winless run now of 11 games than us since 1975 with Liverpool up next!

Even Wolves Away won't be a banker of a win with how Edwards has got that place jumping at Home again, as we know all too well ourselves.

[Mad Dog]

Hope you're right

[Massive Attack]

On paper 100%. But like Russ rightly pointed out recently a number of other equally important factors come in to play that doesn't make it as simple as who has the easier run in on paper. 

Confidence 
Momentum 
Pressure

All Spurs have in abundance out of those 3 factors is unbearable pressure with zero momentum and confidence to compound it. And it shows in their ill discipline (contrary to what that mong Tudor denies) as a Squad when two Captains now keep getting themselves needlessly sent off, Porridge kicking shit out of their heated seats whilst flicking daggers at mocked Tudor and their Captain ranting on social media about how shit the Club is.

So much so it even shows being typified with half their fans exiting their spaceship stadium by half time at this stage of the season, phone-ins of Spurs fans constantly crying and O'Haha losing the will to pive live on air. I just found out he unfollowed Agbanlahor because he could dish it out to him but couldn'ttake it himself. Also see Sad Fuckwits laughable behaviour.

I'd have our run-in over theirs with all the factors thrown in any day of the week.
