West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[El Scorchio]

After our FA win the teams morale and camaraderie will be high  which bodes well for our upcoming PL matches 

The team look incredibly together, positive and on a mission. Not that it WILL lead to us staying up or winning the cup, but I should think we are in better shape in terms of togetherness and positivity than most of the teams around us aside from arguably wolves, weirdly.

We were two up against Chelsea. In a one off game think there hit and miss and we can compete.

Arsenal...well we dealt with set piece FC in Brentford for the most part last night, so maybe. 

City I think would and will pass us off the park. 

But in a one off game anything can happen of course.

[El Scorchio]

IF we beat Leeds, yes it's very tough to have to go through two of the four from Arsenal, Chelsea (assuming they both win) and the victor of Man City/Liverpool and win them both. You'd say one is doable but to get past two of those sides is a big ask and you're probably needing luck and an off day. But you never know what might happen. I guess there's the scenario where Saints do Arsenal and we manage to draw them, but I cannot see it. 

[fraser]

Do people think we'd get past Arsenal, Chelsea or City/Liverpool in a semi final?

Unlikely but still not impossible, did anyone think Palace would beat City?

Could we be doing a Wigan 2013?

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

I'd take that. be gutted to go down but all i am really bothered about in my lifetime is to win the FA cup. 

Plus going down with the likes of Kante, Mayers, Potts etc theres good foundations to rebuild.  FA Cup win then a play off win next season after finishing 8th?   Sold

Although play like we did last night from now till end of season and if Jimmy isnt crocked......we will have a great chance of being safe.

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.
